How do I server command every time a player respawns??

walabulu4 · **Author**

I am making a team fortress 2 server with custom weapons. I want to give every player that respawns the new weapon by running the server command for giveitem on them. I was wondering if there was a way to go about doing this? I know a liiitle bit of sourcepawn (I did the tutorial) so thats an option for me if it is necisarry

use https://sm.alliedmods.net/new-api/events/HookEvent on player_spawn (does this exist in tf2?)
then use https://sm.alliedmods.net/new-api/console/ServerCommand in callback

So I can put something like

PHP Code:


			
    HookEvent ("player_spawn",myFunction());

in my OnPluginStart? myFunction() would run the serverCommand function.

You may want to look into the post_inventory_application event, which is fired every time the game refreshes a player's loadout.
