[TF2] Spawn Stickybomb Removal
Version 1.0.0

Description:

Removes stickybombs if they are placed within a (default: 150 units) radius of the other team's spawn door.

The sticky-camping player will also be shown a hint message asking them to stop.

Cvars:

• spawn_sticky_removal
  • Plugin Version
• sticky_break_distance
  
  • Stickybombs closer to a spawn then this value will be removed.
  • Default: 150
  • These stickies are aprox 150-200 units from the spawn.

Install Instructions:

1. Place NoStickySpawn.smx into your addons/sourcemod/plugins/ folder.

Notes:

This plugin uses the func_respawnroomvisualizer entity to detect locations.
If your map does not have visualizers on the spawn doors, this plugin will not work.
(Also you should stop running shitty maps).

ToDo:

• Cache spawn room entity indexes to optimize looping

Version History:

• V1.0.0
  
  • Initial Release

Great idea! Installing now...would be funny if they changed to the enemy colur (like when a pyro blows them back) when placed so that the nasty demo hurts his own...if they are about.

I take it this is just active on the enemies spawn door area? Be gear to extend it to sentries too.

Will this remove any sticky placed in the radius or only stickies from the enemy team?

only enemy team's stickybomb removal.

For a map like Dustbowl and I'm sure lots of other maps, RED sets up during the setup round and part of the defense is laying stickies at the gate (1st Stage). I don't plan to use this as I think spawn camping is a valid tactic on most maps, but, perhaps a cvar to disallow a specific team from doing it?

Maybe sticky_blu_enable 0/1 sticky_red_enable 0/1

does it break stickybombs flying through team barrier? (no check for m_bTouched?)

also
any chance you add a cvar to set timer interval?

I didn't really intend this to be used on maps like dustbowl where one team attacks and one defends. But I'll see about adding those cvars at some point.

The plugin does not care about the value of m_bTouched (I'm not sure why it should.)
I'm not going to add a cvar for the timer because a higher value would look shitty, and a lower value would increase the possibility of lagging the server (currently it's tested to run fine with 32*8 stickies in play).

I'm surprised that DarthNinja didn't already point this out, but...

Gates that remain open don't use respawnroomvisualizers, so won't be affected by this.

You can tell what has a respawnroomvisualizer because the other team will see the "No" symbol when they get close enough to it.

No, the areas I can see that will cause a problem are spawn rooms that are not currently active on maps where spawnrooms move, 5CP maps in particular since they never change ownership.

Hey DN, I installed this on my 24/7 harvest server and it caused unplayable low fps lag. Pings were fine but it was very jumpy. I just left it at the default setting it comes with and there were only 8 people on the server at the time. Also no one was even a demoman. I see you guys already talked about lag issues possibly Im just adding my experience.

Edit from my above post. I do apologize. Turns out the lag was caused by weapon_limits plugin. Ouch, I jumped the gun on that one. Your plugin is installed again and no issues.
