I think we need a way to do this right after the player enter the sever, like in the Valve's servers. The team menu is disable and right after the screen with the "OK" button appears you are putted in the right team... Like said before, there's a way, but or the buy menu can't be used or the round won't get a winner when a whole team is dead... I think that there is more things than just "ChangeClientTeam(client, team);" to define if a player is in a team or not, because using "ChangeClientTeam(client, team);" when the player was never in any team yet, the round won't get a winner. Maybe a value of an EntProp...

If i'm not wrong, the eBot plugin and the Faceit plugin do that, like the Servers' Valve.

Did you try using a joingame command listener? I've had no issues with calling CS_SwitchTeam inside that. (and there's m_iTeamNum fyi)

My only issue with forcing proper teams has been handling halftime periods.

About the "jointeam", I'm already using that, but I was thinking about setting the player team without the change team menu...

Exc4libor, if you already did what you was doing, don't forget to post it

That's why I'm telling you to use joingame which happens before the teamjoin menu has a chance to appear.

There's a "joingame" command? I searched about it and I couldn't find anything... I can't test it right now, but I will.

Btw, what does this command? I have never used it...

It gets automatically triggered when the client joins. Add a command listener for it and try it.

Good to know, will try as soon as possible

Hey guys, I know it's been a long time, but I found a fancy solution, I got to hook when the Team Menu VGUI appears when you join the server. It doesn't need a timer and bypasses all the bugs related to it. Here's it:

PHP Code:

public void OnPluginStart()
{
    HookUserMessage(GetUserMessageId("VGUIMenu"), TeamMenuHook, true);
}

public Action TeamMenuHook(UserMsg msg_id, Protobuf msg, const int[] players, int playersNum, bool reliable, bool init)
{
    char buffermsg[64];
    
    PbReadString(msg, "name", buffermsg, sizeof(buffermsg));
    
    if (StrEqual(buffermsg, "team", true))
    {
        int client = players[0];
        
        //Do stuff here
        //You can acess the client's int as I defined it in "int client = players[0];"
        
        //Edit: Be warned that if you change the client's team here, it might throw a fatal error and crash the server.
        //      To prevent it, create a timer here (0.1 seconds seems to do the trick) and pass the client index through it.
    }
    
    return Plugin_Continue;
} 


Conclusion: only do ChangeClientTeam on player connect using this Hook, don't use "HookEvent("player_connect_full", ..., EventHookMode_Pre);" for this. You can use it for other stuff, tho. This way you will achieve the exact same way Valve does on their Match Making servers.

Hm, interesting... thanks for posting an update!

You are welcome. I didn't test it with the team menu disabled using that command to completely disable it, idk if it will work or not, maybe it will because i think the "team" VGUI always happens but its "show" bool must be false when that cvar is on. I will do some more tests tomorrow (or if you are up to test it...). If it works it will be amazing.
