It looks like that is normal behavior without the extension: if you build a sentry outside of spawn, pick it up, and walk into a func_respawnroom, it'll destroy the sentry you are carrying. It looks like sentries are only affected.

This was introduced around MvM so I think it's meant to prevent engineers from running into respawn to save their sentry from an incoming sentry buster. This seems more likely than it being a fix to an exploit so I think it'll be safe to patch it.. I'll have a new version soon.

Grab the latest version from the first post. This has the fixes for windows and stops sentries from destructing when you carry then into spawn.

Enjoy!

It really irked me when I first saw this happen and I didn't know why it was happening. It makes sense why Valve did it now that you've explained it. If you're like me, I like building near spawn then moving my things once they are built up. I've just adapted to this behavior now that I know why it happens. I just walk outside the respawn room then pick up the sentry - simple as that.

Updated gamedata to fix the sentry patch on Windows. Get it here or from the first post.

Tonight's update broke this. Grab the latest version from the first post to fix it.

Happy trails!

How about a check for MvM mode so it doesn't affect gameplay on MvM maps while preserving what Valve intended ?

Not possible with a patch. MvM servers are usually dedicated to that mode so if you don't want people bringing buildings into spawn, I suggest not using this extension.

Attached is the latest gamedata for tonight's update. It's only needed if your server runs on Windows. It's included with the latest version on the first post as well.
