Hi guys,

So I was running a plugin that modifies respawntimes without adding the required tags (respawntimes, norespawntime) and VALVE didn't like this, because they want tags to be added mehmeh. Anyhow, how would I make a plugin add this by it's own?

I pulled this from DarthNinja's TF2 Stats plugin.

PHP Code:

TagsCheck(const String:tag[])
{
    new Handle:hTags = FindConVar("sv_tags");
    decl String:tags[255];
    GetConVarString(hTags, tags, sizeof(tags));

    if (!(StrContains(tags, tag, false)>-1))
    {
        decl String:newTags[255];
        Format(newTags, sizeof(newTags), "%s,%s", tags, tag);
        SetConVarString(hTags, newTags);
        GetConVarString(hTags, tags, sizeof(tags));
    }
    CloseHandle(hTags);
}

PHP Code:

new Handle:hTags = FindConVar("sv_tags");
CloseHandle(hTags); 


Hm, this must be CloseHandle?
If 'yes', new question: If any function returned Handle, he always must be closed (CloseHandle)?

not always

You don't have to close it in this case, since it's just a cloned handle from the actual convar's handle. In most other cases, you will have to close a handle (especially if it's recreated multiple times), otherwise you'll have a leak.

Thanks, i realized

If they blocked it, then why are you still trying to get around it? Its not fair on players joining the servers believing a server to be something else. Valve are actively cracking down on mods if you have read of their comments on the Mailing List.

Just offering my 2 cents, there is nothing to stop Valve creating a TF2 or similar update, which renders this useuless.

I'm pretty sure he's asking how he can modify the plugin to add the respawntimes tag.
