TF2 - Problems forcing players to be a certain class

uNCLEsAM098 · 08-31-2008, 04:47 PM

I'm making a map that requires all players to be demomen. Currently it isn't a problem when I load the map. The player spawns, being pushed through with trigger_push through another trigger that changes the players class to demoman instantly when touched.

However, when I upload my map to official servers, the trigger doesn't work and the player can remain whatever class they chose.

Everything else of the triggers work just fine: The trigger push, the teleports, the info_text, everything. Just not the class change triggers.

I think it's something I'm doing wrong, because I have played on maps that force players into being a sniper from online servers, and I looked at the map through Hammer, trying to learn how they did it, but obviously I didn't do it all correctly.

Personally I think forcing classes should be left to a server mod, not the map.

Why does your map require all players to be demoman, if it's just a jump map, none of the other classes (apart from solider) will be able to get anywhere anyway.

It's not meant to be for soldiers either. Trust me. It's been in development for over a year, and it's not like it can't be done, so I just need to find out what I'm doing wrong.
