So, it's something like MvM mode in TF2?

Any reason you don't use get_players ?

Also as there is a 1.0 looping task, i don't think that setting the same task to 1.0 on clcmd_spectate and on client_disconnect is worth.

Thanks for the hint.

It's a different task, I'm trying to minimise CPU load. I wanted the looping task to be a single task, set when a bot changes team (log event), but it didn't work out.

I could merge the two tasks I guess, into the looping one. CPU load would probably still be low enough.

My bad about tasks

[pizzahut]

4.1 Changes:
- Replaced looping bot check task in "plugin_init" with single task in "logevent".
- Removing existing bot check tasks prior to setting up a new one.
- Using "get_players".
- Check bots again later if at least one of the bots is in the wrong team or hasn't picked a class (is_something_wrong).

Is there like in cs, vgui and old menu to select teams ?
If it's the case, jointeam command may only be sent from vgui menu (and when typed in player console).

[pizzahut]

The old menu is gone since the year 2000 IIRC. There is no choice which kind of menu to use, so it's VGUI or console.

[ConnorMcLeod]

Last thing, i think instead of client_cmd (which is delayed by latency and which gonna call again the plugin callback),
it would be better to use engclient_cmd (in that case you have to send each argument separately as strings) that directly sends the command to the game dll.
In that case, you could even send task_adjust_bot_count function without delaying it by 1.0, but anyway this task is ok.

Can you put this plugin to old / unapproved, I think it needs some more work but I don't know when I come around to finish it.
