If it's for csdm, try this, just use /spec command to spectate, and regular chooseteam command to choose back a team.

ConnorMcLeod, I have just tested it. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but:
1. It doesn't disable the fadetoblack.
2. I cannot join the game after spectating. My nickname in TAB menu joins, but I do not respawn.
3. Quite often it says something like "wait 25 sec".

PS: drekes' version works good, but I need something to disable the fadetoblack for spectating admins.

[slpknt]

ConnorMcLeod, thank you for your reply!
drekes, the final version of the plugin I'm using:

PHP Code:

#include <amxmodx>

#define ACCESS ADMIN_IMMUNITY

    register_clcmd("say_team /play", "cmd_unspec")
}

It works good. But today I found a bug:
If I type "say /spec" when I'm choosing a model and then finally choose it - the server crashes.

[drekes]

how do you mean? Choosing a model?

[slpknt]

Press m (chooseteam), choose your team, DO NOT choose your model, then say /spec, NOW choose your model => server crashes.

[drekes]

do you search these bugs to make it harder on us? I have really no idea how to fix that

[slpknt]

Sorry, I couldn't understand this part:

Originally Posted by drekes do you search these bugs to make it harder on us?

The bug occurs when admins say /spec while choosing model and then choose the model. I mean this:
1. I connect to the server.
2. I DON'T choose my model.
3. I say /spec and begin spectating (model choose menu is still there)
4. I choose my model.
5. Server crashes.

May be you could make the plugin ignore /spec command while they have their model choose menu open. So that admins couldn't go /spec before they have their model chosen.

[drekes]

why don't you just choose team spec instead of doing this?

[slpknt]

Players are not allowed to choose anything but CT when humans_join_team is CT.
