• That one kid told me his clan leader was afraid of ghosters in spec mode but still wanted admins to be able to go into spec mode. So this plugin does just that. If an admin has the right flag, set by CVAR, he can join the spec team. Anyone else will be forced onto the least-populated team upon attempting to join the spec team.

CVAR:

• spec_admin - cvar sets what flag (from users.ini) that the admin needs to join spec.
  • any number of flags allowed (example: "abcd")
  • Default: "a"

Interesting. What if people want to demo a hacker or something?

[GHW_Chronic]

then they can't unless they die and spec. if you allow people to do that and that is your concern and you have no other plugin to deal with reporting hackers, then dont use this.

Works good, was looking for this =]

Chronic:

Not necessarily a much more efficient way to detect if someone has the appropriate admin flags but it is much cleaner and will allow people using your plugin to specify as many admin flags as they'd like.

Instead of this:

public team_select(id)
{
    new flag
    new cvarstring[1]
    get_pcvar_string(pcvar,cvarstring,1)
    switch(cvarstring[0])
    {
        case 'a': flag = 1
        case 'b': flag = 2
        case 'c': flag = 4
        case 'd': flag = 8
        case 'e': flag = 16
        case 'f': flag = 32
        case 'g': flag = 64
        case 'h': flag = 128
        case 'i': flag = 256
        case 'j': flag = 512
        case 'k': flag = 1024
        case 'l': flag = 2048
        case 'm': flag = 4096
        case 'n': flag = 8192
        case 'o': flag = 16384
        case 'p': flag = 32768
        case 'q': flag = 65536
        case 'r': flag = 131072
        case 's': flag = 262144
        case 't': flag = 524288
        case 'u': flag = 1048576
        case 'y': flag = 16777216
        case 'z': flag = 33554432
    }
    if(get_user_flags(id) & flag)
    {
        if(task_exists(id)) remove_task(id)
    }
    else if(!task_exists(id))
    {
        set_task(2.0,"check_team",id,"",0,"b")
    }
}

You can do this:

public team_select(id)
{
    new adminFlags[32];
    get_pcvar_string(pcvar, adminFlags, 31);
    
    if (get_user_flags(id) & read_flags(adminFlags))
    {
        if(task_exists(id)) remove_task(id)
    }
    else if(!task_exists(id))
    {
        set_task(2.0,"check_team",id,"",0,"b")
    }
}

Does this work for amx-bans too? I don't have my admins in the users.ini, i manage them via the amx-bans websystem.

[GHW_Chronic]

@brad: never thought about that. ill add the code when I get home.

[Mordekay]

That sounds like "karma up" when it is done ;)

[Brad]

Yes, this works with AMXBans too.

Brad, maybe you want to approve this as well as it was posted a long time before this and is very ready to be approved:
