[Request] ULX Maul TTT Does not set player to spectator :(

[aaronhatton]

Hello,

I considered editing my servers code but i came to realize i'm just gonna update and loose all my work so here is a suggestion...

So once the player is killed just run this...

If GetConVarNumber( " ulx_ttt_gamemode " ) == 1 then
 
         ply:SetTeam(TEAM_SPEC)
end

would help me alot!

this is not going to get added as maul does not need to do this nor should you use maul in a ttt server  as it can be worthless on some maps. ( NO NAV MAP DERP)

Nathan, thanks, but let us speak for us.

Aaron, thanks for the input.
Though we probably wouldn't add it just for maul, and especially not just for one gamemode, I could see us adding it as a code improvement for any of our death commands that use the spectate function after death. (which, for all I remember, might only be maul at this time)
Something more along the lines of the following would probably be better.
(NOT 100% lua of course)
if gamemode ~= Sandbox and <some ply:team|gamemode check to verify TEAM_SPEC would fit> then <use team_spec> else <normal method> end

My only concern that I won't research atm is this...if you die in TTT, does it place you in spectator view?
I could see some team game modes where it wouldn't WANT you in a spectator mode, which may be why TTT is overriding it now

thanks jamminR for clearing up my speed post > : D
if you do want to add this and not worry about it geting changed isnt there a way to redefine the command elsewhere ?
im not sure if bad things happen then
Ps:you could also do a cheesy way to automatically id the body instead of sending some one to spec
make sure you use the person who used  the command to id the body or use a random person if the previous did not work because this could cause errors in ttt (as ttt might not have a back up for IDing bodys)
pss: above method because we dont want to edit ttt code
