works as intended. I was needin' this bad.

Uploaded a new version that fixes not storing timer handles.

[For A Fistful Of Brain]

When Im in Spec-Mode how do I come back? I have set the Plugin so that you won't be kicked when in Specmode but unless you have set a higher value for vs_max_team_switches, you won't be coming back, right?

[Matthias Vance]

That is correct (if you already changed a team before). I am currently adding a !team command that let's you change teams regardless of that CVAR.

Could it be possible to add a chat message when someone is kicked/moved to spectate? So people know who's afk and who was kicked.

Yup, I'll add that today!

Oops! I don't check for bots, my mistake! I'll also fix that today.
On a sidenote: Bots shouldn't be AFK at all!

[Edit]
I uploaded a new version that fixes those two issues.

Thanks. Now I'm only missing a count down message displayed too the player if he is standing still for x seconds. Like: You will be forced to spectate in x seconds" Could you add this too?

This won't be included in the current version. Perhaps after the plugin has been finished and delivered as ordered.
