AUTO-RESPAWN
as made by potatoz

DESCRIPTION
this is the public version of my Auto-Respawn plugin. This plugin is quite basic really, it automatically respawns players during a set amount of time, and if an automatic spawn-killer is detected, it disables.

CVARS
sm_autorespawn_time "85" - Amount of time to keep auto-respawn on before disabling?
sm_autorespawn_spawnkilldetection "1" - Enable spawnkill-detection? 0 = Disable

Duplicated functions and similar code.

Yes, mine is based upon yours, however yours do have a couple issues whereas either the spawnkill-detection would be too easy to trigger and would go off wayyy too early, aswell as you can rejoin the server in order to bypass the autorespawn being disabled. This being most likely because you trigger the ForcePlayerSuicide right away instead of having a timer of about ~0.5s after spawning aswell to more likely ensure the player actually gets slayed after joining and doesn't just bypass it cause sourcemod executes the command to fast.

P.S don't self-advertise saying you got the same before even looking at my code.

If you have improvements to the plugin why not just open a pull request instead of open a new thread? Even you could add your credits in that plugin. But publish plugins with duplicated functions is not allowed that I know.


P.S: you should give me credits since you use my plugin as base.

Should be fixed with the version 1.5 of my plugin (also I added a new feature) -> https://forums.alliedmods.net/showth...83#post2501283

If you have more issues just post it or just open a Pull request.

This plugin is made from scratch, i didn't use your plugin as a base, i got the idea from the issues i personally found it had. In other words this plugin is in totally separate from yours, having plugins that do more or less the same thing in completely different ways and with their own functions doesn't break any rules as far as i know

[potatoz]

Don't get me wrong, Franug. I like your plugin but there are things i personally prefer with my own plugin and adding/changing these features are just a way easier progress when you've made the code yourself and ain't just sitting modifying others shit or sending a request hoping for it to be fixed. I tend to take the issue at hand and solve it without necessarely having to rely on somebody else

Francisco appreciates and accepts pull request really quickly. This just sounds to me like you've never used github before and are afraid to use it. Taking someone else's plugin idea that was already made (and on git) amd rereleasing it without credit while refusing to give any speaks volumes about who you are.

Does this mean i can't have my own plugin with my own features planned and own potential?
Just because this plugin builds on the same idea it doesn't mean they are the same thing, there are multiple bhop-timers, multiple auto-respawns, multiple everything, but they aren't the same which gives server owners the possibility to really pick the plugin that works best on their specific server for their specific needs

I'm all for rewriting plugins that couldve been done better or implemented with better features, but the least you could do is give a shutout to the original. That's all.

It's a respawn plugin. It's nothing unique. It's been done so much, there's no point.
