Thank you for using it

People were exploiting a bug in this plugin on my server earlier - it'd allow them to spawn as a player on 'unassigned' and they could do strange things. I made a small change and it no longer seems to work, and logs that someone tried it (it could happen naturally, but its unlikely unless you have a long respawn time)

 
 
public Action:SpawnPlayerTimer(Handle:timer, any:client)
{
   //Respawn the player if he is in game and is dead.
   if(!SuddenDeathMode && IsClientConnected(client) && IsClientInGame(client) && !IsPlayerAlive(client))
   {
      if(GetClientTeam(client)==0)
      {
         LogError("Possible Exploit: %L",client)
      }
      else
      {
         TF2_RespawnPlayer(client)
      }
   }
   return Plugin_Continue
}

I had this too on my server.

Cheers for sharing!

Thanks for the bug update. I'll fix the code supplied by octo-dhd and Kevin_b_er. Thanks!

With this plugin it prematurely spawns me at about 3 seconds remaining? Anymore have this simular issue?

[DontWannaName]

This plugin is a hack of the respawn system so it makes the valve respawn system guess when you are going to respawn. Usually is this a few seconds off. The other respawn plugin doesnt have this problem since it modifys valves respawn.

[demariners]

Is this other plugin located on this thread? I have looked and maybe I am just not finding it. Thank you

The plugin DWN was referring to is here: http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=649814

Could you explain how that plugins code works differently then mine?

There plugin

public SetRespawnTime() {
    if (GetConVarBool(g_hEnabled) && g_iGameRules != -1) {
        SetVariantFloat(GetConVarFloat(g_hBlu));
        AcceptEntityInput(g_iGameRules, "SetBlueTeamRespawnWaveTime");
        
        SetVariantFloat(GetConVarFloat(g_hRed));
        AcceptEntityInput(g_iGameRules, "SetRedTeamRespawnWaveTime");
    }
}

My plugin

public SetRespawnTime()
{
    if (TF2GameRulesEntity != -1)
    {
        new Float:RespawnTimeRedValue = GetConVarFloat(RespawnTimeRed)
        if (RespawnTimeRedValue >= 6.0) //Added this check for servers setting spawn time to 6 seconds. The -6.0 below would cause instant spawn.
        {
            SetVariantFloat(RespawnTimeRedValue - 6.0) //I subtract 6 to help with getting an exact spawn time since valve adds on time to the spawn wave
        }
        else
        {
            SetVariantFloat(RespawnTimeRedValue)
        }
        AcceptEntityInput(TF2GameRulesEntity, "SetRedTeamRespawnWaveTime", -1, -1, 0)
        
        new Float:RespawnTimeBlueValue = GetConVarFloat(RespawnTimeBlue)
        if (RespawnTimeBlueValue >= 6.0)
        {
            SetVariantFloat(RespawnTimeBlueValue - 6.0) //I subtract 6 to help with getting an exact spawn time since valve adds on time to the spawn wave
        }
        else
        {
            SetVariantFloat(RespawnTimeBlueValue)
        }
        AcceptEntityInput(TF2GameRulesEntity, "SetBlueTeamRespawnWaveTime", -1, -1, 0)
    }
}

Both plugins do the same exact thing except mine will give the player the ability to insta spawn correctly or extend the spawn time. It also has the ability to override the ingame spawn system so you are guarantee to spawn at that exact value.

Also in your thread you do say that your plugin does have this problem. Here is the post.

It would display respawning in 5 secs half the time, and others it would say respawning in 10 secs. Map used for testing was dustbowl. I would love to use this plugin because it uses the respawn timer built into the game. Any help would be appreciated. Your post doesn't really make sense If you want to use this plugin because it uses Valve's timer, then you would know how Valve's timer works. As I noted in the first post, the value has to be half of what you want the maximum respawn time to be (the same is true for mp_respawnwavetime, if you were using that). So if you want it to be around 5 seconds, set it to 2 or 3. Then, depending on when the next respawn wave is, you'll respawn between say 3 to 5 or 5 to 7 seconds after the death cam.

this stop working aswell after todays update
