LULZ: OK finally ! Valve fixed it, this plugin is NO LONGER NEEDED (I hope)

CRITICAL!:
Using this will prevent objects being built that WILL crash the clients looking at the building.

Overview:
When a building (Dispenser, Sentry or Teleporter) is created the plugin checks to see how it was created if it was created "illegally" then the object is killed
With this installed players can only build: 1 dispenser, 1 exit, 1 entrance and 1 sentry.

About the Exploit:
The parameters to build an object are: build <object type> <object mode>
Currently any number can be put in for <object mode> the plugin only allows 0 for sentries & dispensers, and 0 or 1 for teleporters. Any other values are marked as an exploit.

Valid Parameters:
build 0 0 : builds a dispenser
build 1 0 : builds teleporter entrance
build 1 1 : builds teleporter exit
build 2 0 : builds sentry

Note:
I did it this way(hooked: event Player_BuiltObject) so that it is less code and if someone tries to exploit then their metal gets used up as well

This plugin does NOT ban players but instead displays the following message to chat and the server's log: "<Player name> (<Player's SteamID>) attempted building exploit."

Updates:
(4/30/2010 - 8:22PM) Users can now only build objects with modes between 0 and 2. This prevents the negative exploiting. Make sure to update!

Nice. Id rather have one that penalizes them with metal than banning them.

[Jamster]

Nice work dude, very solid.

[Seather]

of the 3 i think yours is prob the best.

i've attached a modification that both announces to everyone if someone does it and logs it.

LogAction(client, -1, "\"%L\" attempted building exploit.", client);
PrintToChatAll("\"%L\" attempted building exploit.", client);

(removed attachment now that its in first post)

Thanks for the input. I added Seather's suggestion and fixed a bug.

Works much better.

Had to patch it to return properly so hlstats wouldn't see the construction, though, but otherwise great.

will this still work after todays update? i know the format of the command changed a bit...

Umm, it was just posted today for the exploit...

This plugin is actually the only fully working one. And yes its still needed, the last update did not fix it. Im guessing we will see another update tomorrow from valve for it.....

its possible to still create multiple teleporters with this. like im able to create more than 1 exit. kinda weird though, none of the teleporters became active. which is nice since it seemed to always be the teleporters that caused clients to time out.

I do believe this may have broken the building of teleporters completely.

If you build an exit or and entrance, no matter which ... you can't build the corresponding entrance/exit, making teleporters unbuildable.
