I've just been trying around finding a good way to kill a player that's
in the spawnarea when suddenly the idea came to my mind:

When do players always die, no matter in spawn or not??
- if they switch team!

And that's what I'm actually doing:
- Switch player to the opposite team
- Players dies
- Block the "X joined team Y" message
- Block the class selection menu
and then:
- Switch player back to his old team
- Block the "X joined team Y" message
- Block the class selection menu
that way the player is on his old class again when he respawns.

The player will not notice a difference to commiting suicide "the normal way"!

Tested and working!

See attached sample plugin and test it yourself with the command
"testsafekill"

Hi FeuerSturm! Another great work of yours.

I wanted to ask you if there is a possibility to enable players to enter the losing team spawn area when a team wins the round.

Should be possible by removing the invisible walls that prevent the
other team from entering different areas.

I'll take a look at that for sure, BUT where's the connection to this snippet?

Thanks FeuerSturm

Remove entity with classname func_teamblocker and func_team_wall

The connection is the Spawn! XDD
I just wanted to post here since you were already online at the time.
Sorry if I did it wrong. Next time I will post another thread

I just thought that this feature would be a nice addition to Team Manager Source as well. What do you think?

You say you block the class selection menu, but does it really not show? The closest I've gotten was where you see it for a split second.

It's not even flickering on the screen, it's like it's not being
opened at all.

I'm using that method since early version of DoD TMS for the TeamSwap
feature and never heard that it was showing for a split second from
anyone, neither did I ever notice it.

So the only way to find out if your eyes work like a high-speed-cam
is to try it yourself, that's why I included a selftest command

Can you block the class select menu with that same method? I see your only hiding it when you kill them and change their team, but I am trying to figure out how to do it so when they first join, after they select a team, they dont get the class select screen.

I'm pretty sure that if you manage to block the class selection
(you could hook the cmd "jointeam" and block the class selection if
player's team is "Unassigned" = 0 on calling it)
the player would not spawn unless you'd add a
FakeClientCommand(client, "cls_*")
while cls_* should be the class that you want to give him
(i.e. cls_random)

(I couldn't get to set a players class yet, it just displays on the scoreboard when I
change it through "m_iPlayerClass", but once a player respawns,
it's changed to the class the player selected before.)

To be honest, I didn't do any research on that then as I didn't need to use it yet.

I hope that post makes any sense to you, just got out of the bed and have to go to work now

Yeah thats fine, I already have my server set up so it spawns them as a soldier no matter what class they choose. I basically just want to get rid of the class chooser menu. Theres a native for TF2 that lets you set the players class though so its easy for me. No clue for DoDs.
