Declined Spawn protection

I think many of us are really annoyed over the fact you cant change the class on orange without committing suicide.
Earlier today, I played on another orange server (just for fun) and noticed that you didn't die when you changed your class. I also noticed that they were using spawn protection.

Maybe its the final solution? I mean, it's a great way to stop spawn campers too and having godmode for 3 seconds after spawning isn't bad either.
I don't really know if thats why you didn't die when you changed your class, but maybe its worth a try? Would be awesome if someone could actually see if the spawn protection solves the problem.

Thanks.

 

Yes please... +1!

 

That means that you were playing on the map orange_fix

 

I dont think so, but I cant really remember if it was the fixed version of it.
But still? There must be some way to stop the damn suiciding, without switching to another map.

 

There is a way, I could always look up how, and edit that.

But spawn protection? It was already declined.

 

The main reason I suggested spawn protection was for the suiciding. But since I know it's not because of it, it's out of the question.

 

To be able to switch classes and not suicide (as far as i know), the map should have a spawn room area designated. If it doesn't have this, you'll have to suicide to change class. Ask @xXSamPlummerXx, he knows stuff about hammer.

 

+1 Please do that instead.

 

Yes please

 

I like the idea, btw what happened to the Orange_x3_fix map etc..

Anyways not getting killed every time you change class would be much appreciated.

 

The suicide after you change class is an option in the advanced menu if turned off you will spawn as the other class after you have been killed by the enemy.
also the suggestions that are made require a map switch since "we" can't edit the map.

 

Here is one I quickly did, but the func_respawnroom disallows engineer's ability to build buildings.

Could just make it only hit the head rather than the floor too - wouldn't affect engies then right?

 

Will try it out right now, thanks!

Edit: It works!

 

Do it please.
