This is for HL2DM.

In a plugin I took advantage of using IPlayerInfo while listening for "client_activate". To use GetPlayerInfo() to get that, I would pass the "userid" parameter as an int to engine->PEntityOfIndex first. After doing all of that, I would change the player's team using ChangeTeam() under a certain condition. However, when I try this in-game on a linux dedicated server, it crashes the server. After searching around, I found on the hlcoders mailing list that iplayerinfo was not reliable. Does anyone know any alternatives to using IPlayerInfo->GetTeam and IPlayerInfo->ChangeTeam?

they are reliable once IServerGameClients::ClientPutInServer is called

[mooman2]

has the game picked and forced the player onto a team by then?

i guess that's not current anymore?

I don't know, you'd have to test that for yourself. But if it wasn't, given an event for 'player has joined a team', it becomes a counter:

Start counter at 0
If player gets PutInServer, add to counter. If counter is 2, change their team.
If player joins a team, add to counter. If counter is 2, change their tea,.

I'm pretty sure there is such an event.

I use all of those without any problems, for HL2DM. Can you post some code? It might just be a simple thing that you're doing (or not doing) that is giving you sporadic results.

EDIT: Sheesh, I was only checking one thing you guys got past me. You want to assign the team before they engine does? To keep from a death being registered?

nvm, i got it to work
