More than one engineer could complete the upgrade before the Y/2 timer goes off.

You could implement http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=133372 and use that.

you could hook the sound fire event from the wrench because there are 2 sound related to a engy hitting a building ;)

Thanks guys. Any real way to block engies from upgrading their turrets is doable. Be it losing their metal in the process, or anything else for that matter.

Will forward this to my server's administator.

But does that tell you who the sound is coming from?

Ok, Bl4nk, I installed your script and we have an issue. I can't exactly place it, but when there are alot of sentries in an area, and something gets destroyed most likely, or maybe someone switches weapons (to gunslinger, ie.), the script disables. You can then upgrade at will.

Try the below code out. It doesn't work how I'd like it to, but it should do what you want just fine:

PHP Code:

#pragma semicolon 1

#include <sourcemod>

public Plugin:myinfo =
{
    name = "Block Sentry Upgrades",
    author = "bl4nk",
    description = "Makes it so sentries cannot be upgraded past level 1",
    version = "1.0.0",
    url = "http://forums.alliedmods.net/"
};

public OnGameFrame() {
    new iEnt = -1;
    while ((iEnt = FindEntityByClassname(iEnt, "obj_sentrygun")) > -1) {
        SetEntProp(iEnt, Prop_Send, "m_iUpgradeMetal", 0);
    }
} 


Engineers should be able to repair their sentries, but any metal towards upgrading their sentry will be lost.

Error upon compiling, states that FindEntityByClassname is an undefined symbol.

Sorry to trouble you with this all :S

Cheers. Will let y'all know if this works as intended.

Thanks.
