Votemelee won't turn melee off.

Also an admin in an attempt to turn off melee only typed sm_melee in console and it crashed the server. We don't run any other melee plugins so can anyone else try this and let me know if it's this plugin?

Other than that this is the best melee plugin we've used. Thanks!

Somebody test this out. Melee vote toggles melee mode, not just turns it on.
melee_class accepts sniper scout demo engy spy heavy medic soldier pyro, or just ""
melee_classmode accepts 0 for don't force class, 1 for force on sudden death, 2 for force whenever melee is on

I have not tested this, I don't know if I did it right, so... blah.
Good luck.

Nice FlaminSarge, would it be possible to have it choose a class at random that everyone will spawn as?

Alright, big update, I improved the efficiency of the plugin so I would recommend that everyone update.

Changelog for 0.2.6:

• Added the ability to force a class during melee sudden death, new convar is melee_suddendeath_class.
• Improved efficiency during melee mode.
• Changed melee vote to toggle instead of being one-way.
• Fixed a bug with the spy's sapper slot being skipped during melee mode in other mods (randomizer).
• Changed some of the wording in player messages.

I tried to hit on some of the suggestions. Let me know if you have any problems, this update was fairly big.

This is already really good.
But can you also make it possible to force people to a class outside of melee suddendeath?

Someone check something for me: can you still use your minigun if melee mode is enabled while it's spinning?

Just tried and it didn't reset the weapon. Thanks for finding this, I'll try and fix it.

Thank the jerk on my server who exploited this XD

EDIT: When you do fix it, could you post the relevant changes here? I'm running a fairly modified version of your plugin with a few map-specific changes.

Finally fixed that glitch, Valve does things in strange ways. The only way to switch the weapon is to change the m_iWeaponState of the minigun. I didn't touch melee.txt so that can stay the same. Find any other glitches let me know.

I added Natives in this next version. I removed the sudden death code and moved it to its own plugin. Whiplash, check out that plugin and see if you can use those natives so you don't have to continue to edit my plugin. If it's not possible, can you suggest some changes I could make so it is possible?

Changelog for 0.2.7:

• Added natives in melee.inc: SetMeleeMode and GetMeleeMode.
• Removed sudden death code and moved it to a seperate plugin.
• Fixed a glitch dealing only with the minigun.

Your fix works! By the way, if you were wondering, the thing I modified was I added a simple position check to the SetActiveWeapon() function:

SetActiveWeapon(client, weapon)
{
    if(InBounds(client)) {
        new iWeapon = GetActiveWeapon(client);
        new iSlot3 = GetPlayerWeaponSlot(client, 2);
        
        decl String:strClass[40];
        GetEdictClassname(iWeapon, strClass, sizeof(strClass));
        
        if((strcmp(strClass, "tf_weapon_minigun") == 0)&(InBounds(client)))
        {
            ResetMinigun(iWeapon, 0);
            TF2_RemoveCondition(client, TFCond_Slowed);
        }
        SDKCall(g_hWeaponSwitch, client, weapon, 0);
    }
}

InBounds(client){//custom, added by whiplash
    decl Float:pos[3];
    GetClientAbsOrigin(client, pos);
    if(((pos[0]<maxX)&(pos[1]<maxY)&(pos[2]<maxZ))&((pos[0]>minX)&(pos[1]>minY)&(pos[2]>minZ))) return true;
    else return false;
}

The bounds are hard-coded as #defines since I only intend to run one specific map on my trade server. I also forced all ubers to 0%, blocked madmilk/jarate/crit-a-cola/bonk/buff banner/batallion's backup (set bAllow to false for each), and gave anyone outside the bounds buddha mode and access to all weapons. But thanks for doing the hard work for me!
