Notice 7/13/2015: I have stepped away from TF2 & SM and no longer support these plugins.
If you would like to take over on a plugin, feel free to contact me.


What does this plugin do?
It allows map makers in Hammer to place triggers that can be used to execute server commands. This is not the same thing as a point_servercommand, this allows commands to be run on the activator, it will grab the client's name, steamid or userid, making it much more flexible than the standard point_servercommand.

Who is it for?
Mapmakers, or people running maps that have been made with this plugin.

How do I use it?

To create a constant trigger (trigger that executes every x amount of seconds) 1. Open any hammer map. 2. Create a trigger_multiple. 3. In the Name field, place the words run constant followed by any server command. 4. Set the Delay Before Reset field to have the trigger to execute every x amount of seconds. Example: run constant sm_csay %activator% has made it to the end of the tunnel! To create a lifetime trigger (trigger that executes once per life) 1. Open any hammer map. 2. Create a trigger_multiple. 3. In the Name field, place the words run lifetime followed by a number from 0 to 128, followed by any server command. The number you put in specifies an ID so the server can keep up with any triggers the player touches during his lifetime. You can specify the same ID for multiple triggers, this lets the player touch any one of the triggers and disable all triggers of that ID. Example: run lifetime 0 sm_slap %activator% has made it to the end of the tunnel!

Valid placeholders:
%activator% - This is replaced by the player's name.
%activatorsteamid% - This is replaced by the player's Steam ID.
%activatorclientid% - This is replaced by the player's client ID on the server.

What can I do with it?
You can do many things with this plugin..
Create a room with only rapid fire if combined with EHG's rapid fire plugin (http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=1635409)
Create a melee only room if combined with a melee plugin, if combined with pheadxdll's melee only plugin (https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=1241921)
Create a reward area or room that gives a player an item, if combined with FlaminSarge's give weapon plugin (http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=1337899)
Make an announcement server-wide with a player's actual name in the announcement.
Make an area that rolls RTD (or forces it) on a player, if combined with pheadxdll's RTD plugin (https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=75561).
Pretty much anything that you put your mind to...

ConVars:
sm_enhancedtriggers (default: 1) - Enables or disables enhanced server triggers.
sm_enhancedtriggerslogging (default: 0) - Enables or disables server output.
Example: Enhanced Triggers (Aderic, STEAM_0:1:58235383) triggered command: sm_giveweapon Aderic 357

Changelog:
2.0 (7/25/2013)
Uploaded a test map containing some examples for other map makers to dissect.
Added triggers that only trigger once per life. (Lifetime triggers)
Added the functionality to get the client ID.
Changed the placeholders to a more sensible familiar layout. [target] is now %activator% and so on...

1.0 (7/25/2013)
Initial release.

Installation:
Download enhancedservertriggers.smx and place it in your .../tf/addons/sourcemod/plugins folder.

BSP and VMF map.zip
This is for map makers, it consists of a map showing the functionality of this plugin. From renaming a player to kicking them from the game for going in a certain zone, to even changing the map.

Just a personal view: You should probably create a system where the map enables the plugin, rather than the plugin being enabled by default. That way a server owner wouldn't have the plugin going through every trigger_multiple on maps not using the plugin.

You can use map configs to enable/disable the plugin. So it doesn't run on every map.

Well, I like the idea but I already found a problem that I would like to bring to your attention.

I run a trading server and as such I have a room made for spycrab bets. I would like to use sm_setclass to force anyone that enters the trigger area to be a spy. I set the delay to 0 as to continuously change anyone that enters the area.

The problem I am having is a constant console spam on how the player is actively being changed into a spy. The added problem to this is that because it is continuously changing them, it forces them to their primary weapon, making the whole idea of spy crabbing impossible.

So is there anyway to make it trigger once per player and then trigger no more unless they die and reenter the area? I would not like to make a higher delay timer for obvious reasons.

I'm in the process of making triggers that trigger once per lifetime. Thanks for the suggestion.

Edit: I've updated the plugin. This can now be done.

Couldn't this be done pretty easily with filters?

I am not sure. I am still new to hammer. PM me a link to a tutorial if so. Will be greatly appreciated.

just use a point_clientcommand with trigger_multiple onstarttouch to change class instead and time to 0.01
