TF2 Nobuild Areas

Hey everybody!

After seeing requests and also having my own needs, I created this plugin. It allows you to add func_nobuild brushes everywhere on a map. This is useful with versus saxton hale maps if you don't want to struggle with decompiling maps and such. I put this plugin together with help from the [TF2] autokits plugin, which is based on DarthNinja's Auto Pumpkins. This is also my first released plugin and I am sure the code could be more optimized.

Usage
To spawn a brush, use the command sm_nobuild and then select "Create". After that you get some options on how the area should be configured.
If you want to delete a nobuild area you also use sm_nobuild and select "Delete Nearest Nobuild Area". It finds the nearest nobuild brush, that is in the range of 600 units.
You can view all the areas in the map by using the command sm_shownobuild

The options you have when configuring an area:

Size 128 x 128 x 64 256 x 256 x 64 512 x 512 x 64 128 x 128 x 128 256 x 256 x 128 512 x 512 x 128 Team Both Red Blue Buildings to allow Allow none Sentries Dispensers Teleporters Sentries and Dispensers Sentries and Teleporters Dispensers and Teleporters

Installation guide
Just download the smx and move it to the plugins folder.

The nobuilds you add gets saved in the local sqlite database.

Therefore, you have to add this to your databases.cfg

"nobuildareas"
{
	"driver"			"sqlite"
	"host"				"localhost"
	"database"			"TF2_Nobuildareas"
	"user"				"root"
	"pass"				""
}

Changelog

I found

and

Which could help making the brushes visible.

I just don't know how to use the TE_SetupBeamPoints Function and make the beams on all 12 edges

I know this thread is older than dirt, but this is a really good plugin and the only one I've found that fits my use cases.

There's an issue I have when using it where sm_shownobuild will only show some of the brushes, and not all of them. It also doesn't stay active for more than ~10 seconds for the brushes it does show. It seems like it's more likely to display large brushes as opposed to smaller ones.

To mitigate this issue, I've taken to keeping track of where I place brushes in a notepad file. It would be great if this were fixed though.
