[TF2] Autobalance immunity/swapteam

SO...after having this functionality for 8+ years, it appears the "Smissmass 2016" update that changed the autobalance functionality has also broken the "swapteam" function our supporters have been able to use for years.

Specifically, the game no longer kills the player when they swapteams, it simply (and instantly) changes their team, which means people can create havoc by swapping teams in spawn, etc.

My question is - is this going to require an alteration to the underlying plugin/extension, or is this something that will be fixed in Sourcemod itself?

Re: [TF2] Autobalance immunity/swapteam

From what I recall seeing on IRC recently, just calling ChangeClientTeam on TF2 is no longer enough to change a client's team. TF2_RespawnPlayer must be called afterward. This would be best fixed in the SM plugins that do this.

Re: [TF2] Autobalance immunity/swapteam

@psychonic

Is there no other way then editing every plugin? Like a very large number of plugins use ChangeClientTeam.

Looks like you actually have to kill them.

Got your plugin on 3 servers, if i switch player to spectate, it works as always, thanks to your plugin, but when i switch someone from red/blu to red/blu, they just change the team and don't die.

right, the problem is, the game used to kill on team change. doing that in a plugin here may interfere with stuff like ff2. You can just always kill/respawn them, removing the team checks I added if you like.

Re: [TF2] Autobalance immunity/swapteam

Oh, right, tbh i know nothing about coding, could you please remove the team checks for me? Sorry for being stupid..

You don't have to be sorry, the simple fact you used that plugin and gave feedbacks does not make you stupid :bee:

Code:

#pragma semicolon 1

#include <sourcemod>
#include <sdktools>
#include <tf2>
#include <sdkhooks>

public Plugin:myinfo =  {
    name = "Change Team Fix", 
    author = "Friagram", 
    description = "burp", 
    version = "1.0", 
    url = "http://steamcommunity.com/groups/poniponiponi"
};

public OnPluginStart()
{
    HookEvent("player_team", Event_PlayerTeam);
}

public Event_PlayerTeam(Handle:hEvent, const String:name[], bool:dontBroadcast)
{
    new userid = GetEventInt(hEvent, "userid");
    new client = GetClientOfUserId(userid);
    if(client && IsClientInGame(client))
    {        
         FakeClientCommand(client, "kill");
         SDKHooks_TakeDamage(client, client, client, 9999.0);
     
         RequestFrame(frame_respawn, userid);
    }
}

public frame_respawn(any:userid)
{
    new client = GetClientOfUserId(userid);
    if(client && IsClientInGame(client) && IsPlayerAlive(client))
    {
        TF2_RespawnPlayer(client);
    }
}

Edited friagram's code, I'm kinda surprised respawning a spectator does not cause a crash.
I remember it being a problem with my tf2 respawn api code (https://github.com/Benoist3012/-TF2--Respawn-System-API)

Re: [TF2] Autobalance immunity/swapteam

Friagram, would you mind explaining me how to use this code you just posted? Do I need to write into a specific file ? Can you give detailed explanations plz? Thank you !
