I made the code pretty now. I still use functions to relay the command registers into give_powerup() but in a smarter way. I think I did everything right. It tests just fine: everything is as it should be... so I'm done unless there are corrections or optimizations I can add in.

Off-topic: I tried a few things, but this idea didn't work.
Ripent is your best bet for fixing maps with team or class problems.

Any other suggestions for this code?

P.S:This is TFC plugin and SGs/Disps/Teles are from TFC too

Give them one info_tfgoal entity with the quad/invul/invis values
set to 1 second. This should override their current state setting.

There is a reason why I only made the map powerups maximum
duration 30 seconds: its way too easy to abuse, imagine a solder
with quad rockets, insta-gibbing players or a flagrunner on Dustbowl
with invulnerability..

It gets old really fast.

I agree, the balance is justified and fair. This plugin is intended for skill/fun maps where things are either out of control or broken to begin with. (Specifically, I'm trying to make automatic-quad-damage [only quad] weekends for players to get back at foxbots, and possibly a way to turn some conc maps into caltrop jumpable maps)

There are 3 strings used to detail notifications of acts in this code, making it kind of ugly. Does anyone have better process logic for the show_activity() and client_print() notifications?

I implemented removal commands. I should have tried a value of 1 in my testing. Thank you SpannerSpammer. I really enjoy NeoTF and it's features! Great work!!!

how about making a cvar to turn off the glow and to turn it on again

[jRaven]

Re: glow toggle
When I try to turn off the glow, it doesn't go off.
I guess TFC keeps it on(?). Even "say glow off" for my glow plugin doesn't turn it off.
