I always wondered why the sourcemod menus sometimes seem to "bug out" and I am forced to select an option twice?
This thing makes it hard to use plugins such as Quick defuse for example.
When I start planting the bomb, the wire selection menu pops up. As you all know, the bomb planting animation/process takes 4 seconds to be completed. If I choose a wire from the menu, and it bugs out, the bomb is planted before the menu appears again and I can make my selection.
Is this a wanted feature, some sort of safety thing (to avoid people selecting an option by mistake maybe?)
I would actually like to disable it, honestly..
I couldn't find anything on Google about this. I can't be the only one who has this issue.

The only real fix that i'm aware of is to send the menu more frequently, the issue seems to be a bug where the clients game gets confused at what menu is up and thinks it's a radio cmd menu. Which then executes a clientside command for a radio to the server instead of the slot1 - slot10 choices which the server uses to decide which menu option you select. That menu vanishes and the radio command goes out but the server isn't notified so it doesn't send a new menu. If the menu is updated more frequently then when this bug happens you'd see the menu pop up again and ready to be reselected.

Yeah, sometimes I press my choice on a map vote and a radio command is triggered instead, so annoying.
How would I go about sending the sourcemod menu more frequently?
It's kinda surprising that this hasn't been officially addressed after all this time tho (I remember having the same issue on CS:S years ago)

Create a file called "common.games.txt" in "gamedata/core.games/custom/" (you'll need to create it), with the following contents:

"Games"
{
	"#default"
	{		
		"Keys"
		{
			"RadioMenuTimeout"		"4"
		}
	}
}

Adjust timeout (lower) as desired.

This is the first time I have ever seen it reported.

Really? In my experience, it's been happening in Team Fortress 2 ever since SourceMod added support for it.

If you open a game radio menu immediately before a SourceMod radio menu appears, whichever button you hit will be sent to the game radio menu despite it no longer being displayed.

Thanks, done and let's see if it helps.

I actually feel like the bug appears itself even if I haven't called the radio menu before the vote/other menu appears. Idk, it's like, 9 times out of 10 the menu has the bug.

Is there anyway to send a client command to close a radio menu?

Yes I believe all you have to do is send the usermessage for the menu except leave it all blink so there's no options and set the timeout time really low.

So maybe sending such at the same time as a SM menu will patch the bug.

I've been watching this bug for two or three years now.
