Hello,

I've written a simple plugin that balances teams for size at every round start. Let's say CT have 5 players and T 6. Most of the players know that i've installed this plugin and join spec at the end of the round, when they are CT and at the beginning one player switches from T to CT and after round start they join back to CT. I hope this problem is clear so far.

So i would like to have a plugin which blocks spawning after round start when joining from spec. I tried to block the joinclass command but i don't understand how this works in detail. Maybe someone can help me.

This is what i tried but it doesn't work.

PHP Code:

public OnPluginStart()
{
    RegConsoleCmd("joinclass", Command_JoinClass);
}

public Action:Command_JoinClass(client, args)
{
    decl String:teamString[3];
    GetCmdArg(1, teamString, sizeof(teamString));
    new team = StringToInt(teamString);
    new curTeam = GetClientTeam(client);
    
    if (curTeam == 1 && team >= 2)
    {
        return Plugin_Handled;
    }

    return Plugin_Continue;
}

Ok, once I saw your script, blocking player "joinclass" command, it first look okey.
- Problem is, player would stay as dead state in team, because it not have valid player class chosen.
Player need then repeat process...

I also tested, with SDKHook, to block player spawn.
- This work but it also break... player entity hierarchy. Player will turn dead, invisible ghost or something.


In these few days, I have tried practising to look game through IDA Disassembler and from "source" files, to understand how get right signatures or offsets.

I'm 99% sure, I managed to find solution, to block player spawn in Counter-Strike: Source (for now only).
The function which I hooked is

PHP Code:

    bool CCSGameRules::FPlayerCanRespawn( CBasePlayer *pBasePlayer ) 


Thanks to @Drifter321 and @peace-maker, maintaining DHOOKS extension. It's very powerful when you know what to do.

Required!
DHOOKS2
https://github.com/peace-maker/DHooks2/releases
Or regular DHOOKS, I have not tested.

What this plugin do:
- When ever player in spectator team (1), switch to team CT or T, can not spawn in current round, even there is mp_freezetime + 20 seconds grace time.
- Plugin will start block when there at least two players in both team (include switching spectator in count as well)

You may experience server crash:
- Maybe offset value is wrong. I have tested only in Windows.
- Future game update can change offset value and again, crash server or stop working.

wow, thanks so much! I thought that this was just a small thing to do but this complete Plugin does exactly what it should! Perfect job!
