[TF2] Prevent Sentry Placement

I've looked at a lot of different threads and tutorials on this site and others on how to block sentries from being placed. If someone else posted this, please delete this one :oops: but I couldn't find it after searching for a good 10 minutes.

Code:

// Block Sentries

public OnEntityCreated(iEnt, const String:classname[])

{

        if(!IsValidEntity(iEnt))

                return;

        

        if(StrEqual(classname, "obj_sentrygun"))

        {

                AcceptEntityInput(iEnt, "Kill");

        }

}

In-game this prevents the sentry blueprint from even showing up and I can't circumvent it through the build menu. I tried the Command Listener version but it could be circumvented.

~~Set up a command listener, listen for the build command, then just kill the entity.~~

No don't kill the entity, the whole purpose of a command listener block is that we don't get that far

Oh yeah. Derp. Giving advice when you've just woken up within the past half hour is a bad idea lol.

Re: [TF2] Prevent Sentry Placement

What I ended up doing for the mod is both. I kill the entity on creation and block the command listener. Doing either alone seemed to create small windows for players to place sentries, somehow. Doing both seems to have completely blocked em.
