Description:

Adds ability to respawn player:

• from admin menu
• from console
• from 3-rd party plugins using native

without losing statistics.

This is fork, improved version based on v1.9.5 from this topic. See changelog below.

Features:

• Allow respawning even a spectator (with team selection)
• Ability to spawn in crouch pose (like inside the transport / duct with limited height of space)
• Very accurate positioning at crosshair preventing the collision
• Lot of customization in respawn position (see ConVars and l4d_sm_respawn.inc)
• Allow to switch the team (e.g. using sm_respawnex command)

Commands:

sm_respawn - Opens menu to select players for respawning.
sm_respawn <target> - Respawn a player at your crosshair.
sm_respawnex - Extended respawn options. Alternative to SM_Respawn() native. See the "Natives" section.

Settings (ConVars):

Examples:
Note: see the full plugin sample in the source file: /examples/l4d_native_usage_sample.sp

SM_Respawn() Native:

PHP Code:

// Example 1: Respawning at spawn point
SM_Respawn(target, _, SPAWN_POSITION_SAFEROOM);

// Example 2: Respawning target at client's crosshair
SM_Respawn(target, client, SPAWN_POSITION_CROSSHAIR);

// Example 3: Respawning yourself at specified coordinates
SM_Respawn(target, client, SPAWN_POSITION_VECTOR, SPAWN_IN_TEAM_DEFAULT, vec);

// Example 4: Respawning player at infected team next to you
SM_Respawn(target, client, SPAWN_POSITION_ORIGIN, SPAWN_IN_TEAM_INFECTED); 


Using sm_respawnex command, that is an alternative to native:

PHP Code:

// Example 1: Respawning at spawn point
sm_respawnex @me 0 8

// Example 2: Respawning target at client's crosshair
sm_respawnex TargetName @me 1

// Example 3: Respawning yourself at specified coordinates
sm_respawnex @me 0 4 -1 "33.0 1200.5 970.6"

// Example 4: Respawning player at infected team next to you
sm_respawnex TargetName @me 2 3 


Installation

- Just unpack /l4d_sm_respawn/ and copy to server.
- If you update from the original 1.x version, perhaps you may want to remove "Respawn Survivor" entry from "configs/adminmenu_custom.txt" file (not required anymore, unless you are using adminmenu_sorting.txt feature).
- If you want to use custom admin. menu items sorting (like, to make "Respawn Player" item to be the first in the list), here are required correct settings:

(optionally) adminmenu_custom.txt

PHP Code:

"Commands"
{
    "PlayerCommands"
    {
        "Respawn Player" // admin menu item name (you can use UTF8 as well)
        {
            "cmd"            "sm_respawn"
            "admin"            "sm_voteban"
        }
    }
} 


(optionally) adminmenu_sorting.txt

PHP Code:

"Menu"
{
    "PlayerCommands"
    {
        "item"        "Respawn Player" // admin. menu item name (should match with same in adminmenu_custom.txt file)
        "item"        "sm_noclip"
        "item"        "sm_slay"
        "item"        "sm_kick"
        "item"        "sm_ban"
        "item"        "sm_slap"
        "item"        "sm_gag"
        "item"        "sm_burn"        
        "item"        "sm_beacon"
        "item"        "sm_freeze"
        "item"        "sm_timebomb"
        "item"        "sm_firebomb"
        "item"        "sm_freezebomb"
    }

... e.t.c. 


P.S. You don't need l4d_native_usage_sample.sp file. It is an example for developers, how to use natives.

- Added ConVar "l4d_sm_respawn_accessflag" - Admin flag required to use the respawn command.

- Added a new sub-menu to select the team you want to respawn the spectator in.
- Native "SM_Respawn" is appended with the new fields:

Note for users:
- "l4d_sm_respawn_position" ConVar old values meaning is changed. See the new description in the first post.
- it is recommended to change your ConVar values according to new default values for the best experience (see the 1st forum post).
- if you want to change position of "Respawn Player" item in admin menu items list, 1st forum post is updated with related configs for you.

Note for devs: v3.x breaks "SM_Respawn()" native compatibility!
- Please, update your plugins if you used 3rd argument (vector) of the previous version of this native.
