Is there a way to hook on map start for TF2? I have tried server_spawn, game_init, game_newmap and game_start to no avail. When I use teamplay_round_start on multi section maps, it will hook on each round start (so 3 times on some maps). Any ideas?

You could just use SourceMod's OnMapStart or OnConfigsExecuted. I recommend the latter as that's after all configuration files have been processed.

I tried OnConfigsExecuted and my plugin loads, but I think it loads before it can add/edit stuff on the map? OnMapStart Didn't work at all.

You can use teamplay_round_start in conjunction with OnMapStart. Set a boolean to true on map start, then on teamplay_round_start, if the boolean is false, terminate the function with a return value. Then after that check, do your remaining code in there, and set the boolean to false.

That way if it fires again it will not run your code again, effectively running only once on the map load.

I guess the question is... what exactly are you trying to do?

When OnMapStart and OnConfigsExecuted run, the map is loaded, but no players are currently in the game (they have to rejoin after map changes).

if you want to create, edit or remove some entities, you need to do it every round.

This is what I needed to know, I guess I will just stick with teamplay_round_start then.
