Prevent Entities Being Spawned and moved into spawn?
« on: August 18, 2007, 11:41:28 AM »
To put it simply, is there any way you could prevent entities being spawned and moved into spawn by finding all info_player_start 's and creating a box around them of any size. so when entities and spawned inside this box, or moved into this box, the entity get's removed.

Thanks

Thanks for the quick response, it isn't actually my idea though.

Could cause problems if a player drives his contraption into the spawn area.

Maybe applying a force to make it go away )

On top of a 'force field' or 'pusher field', also use a timer.
If someone drives into the area, it doesn't move them until 5 or 10 seconds has passed.
Give a warning to player in spawn area warning of such, etc.
