I am having a strange issue, when I try to teleport a player to a new location (and valid on map) on "player_spawn", the server will crash at random. I am certain it is teleport entity because as soon as I comment out the function "TeleportEntity" and leave everything else intact, no crashes whatsoever. No other plugins are using any such function either.

Would it be wiser maybe to use TeleportEntity with "OnGameFrame" instead of Event_PlayerSpawn?


Thanks for any insight

PHP Code:

public OnPluginStart() 
{ 
    HookEvent("player_spawn", Event_PlayerSpawn); 
} 

public Event_PlayerSpawn(Handle:event, const String:name[], bool:dontBroadcast) 
{ 
    // TELEPORT ENTITY CRASH 
    if(IsPlayerAlive(client))
    {
        TeleportEntity(client, fSpawnLocation, fSpawnLocationAngle, NULL_VECTOR);
    }
} 


EDIT:
- I have also thought of using a timer for TeleportEntity after Event_PlayerSpawn, but unfortunately this makes a very visible transition from spawn to the new location which I do not want.
- Updated code to current with "IsPlayerAlive"; crash still happening

did you check if the player is alive?
The player_spawn event does not only get fired when a player physically spawns

Yes, still happens. Apologies for not mentioning that, updated my initial post

Try and teleport them a frame after.

PHP Code:

RequestFrame() 


or

PHP Code:

HookEvent("player_spawn", Event_PlayerSpawn, EventHookMode_Post);

This:

PHP Code:

HookEvent("player_spawn", Event_PlayerSpawn, EventHookMode_Post); 


Thank you for your help, has seemed to do the trick nicely, so far uptime over 24 hours and no crash.


I will report back if I have any further issues, thanks again all!

EventHookMode_Post is the default though, so you didn't change anything.

Weird. Not sure how that makes sense with HL2DM, because as soon as I put it back to

PHP Code:

HookEvent("player_spawn", Event_PlayerSpawn); 


^^ The random crashes start again.

with this

PHP Code:

HookEvent("player_spawn", Event_PlayerSpawn, EventHookMode_Post); 


I get no crashes. Hard to explain, but there is a difference somewhere. HL2DM is a quirky game at best, so who knows...but it's working with that code strangely enough.

Well, there literally is no different between those two lines.

Definitely not saying you are wrong, but for sure there is some difference somewhere because it seems to have worked, been up for over 24h now and zero issues. Previous, it would be up tops for maybe a few hours. Now, if it does however start crashing, and I jinx myself at this point--- what would be a proper way to teleport a player on spawn without having to use a timer? I know Weetabix had also recommended "RequestFrame()", but I have not used that before so not sure how to implement it exactly.

Again, thanks everyone for all the help in getting this weird issue sorted out!
