I've recently gotten back into sourcemod coding, and my first real plugin is going to be an event plugin.

However, I've hitten a stump where I need to wait for a player to respawn. I've found other threads about using CreateTimer(). I checked the sourcemod api for syntax, and it says that I have to call another function.
Is there any way I can not call another function, and just have the plugin continue running after the timer? I've heard of using CloseHandle(), but I'm not sure if that will do what I'm looking for, and even then I'm getting a "Number of arguments does not match definition error".
If someone could help me out with this, it would be very much appreciated.

I'm having trouble understanding what the event plugin entails. Could you explain the underlying problem that you're having?

If you want to hook a player respawn, you can use the following:

public void OnPluginStart() {
    HookEvent("player_spawn", OnPlayerSpawn);
}

public void OnPlayerSpawn(Event event, const char[] name, bool dontBroadcast) {
    int client = GetClientOfUserId(event.GetInt("userid"));
    
    if (client) {
        // spawn timer, etc.
    }
}

For Timers and the like, you do have to provide a callback function that gets called when the timer interval has elapsed.

In hindsight, event plugin might have been a bit confusing actually. When I said event plugin, I meant as a spy crab event or something of the sort.

public void OnPluginStart()
{
	RegAdminCmd("sm_startevent", Command_StartEvent, ADMFLAG_GENERIC,"Starts the event");
	RegAdminCmd("sm_stopevent", Command_StopEvent, ADMFLAG_GENERIC, "Closes the joining time for the event");
	RegAdminCmd("sm_eventlocation", Command_EventLocation, ADMFLAG_GENERIC, "Set's the location where players will teleport to");
	RegConsoleCmd("sm_joinevent", Command_JoinEvent, "When an event is started, use this to join it!");
}
int eLocationSet = 0;
int eventStart = 0;
new Float:eLocation[3];


public Action Command_StartEvent(int client, int args)
{
	if (eventStart == 0 && eLocationSet == 1) {
		eventStart = 1;
		PrintToChatAll("\x04[Event]The spycrab event has been started, do !JoinEvent to join!");
		return Plugin_Handled;
	}
	else {
		PrintToChat(client, "\x04[Event]There's already an event running!")	
		return Plugin_Handled;
	}
}

public Action Command_StopEvent(int client, int args) {
	if ( eventStart == 1) {
		PrintToChatAll("\x04[Event]The event joining time is over.");
		eventStart = 0;
		return Plugin_Handled;
	}
	else {
		PrintToChat(client, "\x04[Event]There is no event to stop.");
		return Plugin_Handled;
	}
	
}

public Action Command_EventLocation(int client, int args) {
	GetClientAbsOrigin(client, eLocation);
	eLocationSet = 1;
	PrintToChat(client, "\x04[Event] Location has been set.");
	return Plugin_Handled;
}
//This is the part where I'm having trouble

public Action Command_JoinEvent(int client, int args) {
	if (eventStart == 1) {
		TF2_ChangeClientTeam(client, TFTeam_Blue);
		TF2_SetPlayerClass(client, TFClass_Spy);
		TF2_RespawnPlayer(client);
		return Plugin_Handled;
	}
	else {
		PrintToChat(client, "\x04[Event]There is no event currently going");
		return Plugin_Handled;
	}
}

I don't recall any issues with teleporting a player immediately after respawning.

Just add a TeleportEntity right after it and make sure you have the appropriate files included (#include <tf2_stocks> has everything necessary). Here's a copy with the stuff added in.

I also tested it out and it seems to work fine.

I got rid of the teleport entity line because it wasn't working and expected to make another function for the timer.

But for some odd reason, your version instantly respawned the player and the teleport then worked.
Thanks for the help

Edit: Hold on I think it stopped working again
It teleports me to the set location and changes my team/class, but then I die.
This means that players on the red team have to type the command twice
