I think if you had a dev on your side it would be possible, but I'm going to doubt that currently there is a bit of code to get the steam ID of a person.

Possible sometime, yes.

Possible now, I doubt it.

I don't know anything about administering a server but when you ban someone doesn't it use their Steam ID as the unique identifier? If that's the case then could someone make a simple mod to map those Steam ID's on to a spectator list instead of a ban list? I'm sure your right by saying it's not possible now but I'm sure a simple mod could, no? This is all theory as I've never ran a server except when testing maps, which doesn't count...

yeah I'm sure someone could pull it off with SM or something.

Ask the guys at Allied Moderators if they can do it.

"if player is "steam id" then force spectate"


thats what i want

Send a message via AIM to squeek.
Code:
local steamid = player:GetSteamID()
ConsoleToAll( "SteamID: "..steamid )
See what it comes out with and go from there.

I'm just copying/pasting here so I'm sure this isn't correct but maybe something like this:

Code:
function trigger_ff_script:spawn() 
	
     if IsPlayer( trigger_entity ) then
          local player = CastToPlayer( trigger_entity )
          
          //making up these lines
          for ( var i=0; i < listOfSteamIds.length; i++) {
               if (player.steamid == listOfSteamIds[i]) {
                    //no clue if these are right, just copy/paste/replaced with false
                    redspawn = { validspawn = false }
                    bluespawn = { validspawn = false }
                    greenspawn = { validspawn = false }
                    yellowspawn = { validspawn = false }
               end
          end
end
Will not automatically have them join Spectator but considering they can't or won't be able to spawn, nothing else really. I don't know if that's the method call to disable spawning, I just quickly browsed the LUA files and saw spawn

i didnt want to turn this into a flame fest, but yes that is the reason.

this is for the beta maps mainly, i cant see doing this for finals, thats something you cant undo once done ya know.

why does it matter what my reason is? if you know how to get it to work then tell me how, i shouldnt have to explain my reasoning behind something in order to get the LUA team ppl to help me.

Yeah any server admin could adjust the lua to remove said restrictions, or restrict other players for their own purposes.

what if i only run the map on my server? and dont let ppl download the LUA?? then they can ONLY play it on my server.

i can be a real dick about this, but im not, i havent gone into detail as to why i want this, mainly because its none of your damn business to be completely honest. if you know how to do it please tell me.




i was not being mean in this post

Code:
if player:GetSteamID() == 1234 then
     switchteam( player, player:GetTeamId(), Team.kSpectator )
end
I saw the switchteam function in the quad LUA, but I don't know if this is how it can be used, worth a shot. Also, I would put this in the player_spawn function so it switches them each time they try to choose a team.

EDIT: I don't think the steamid checks will work I just tried this in a LAN:
Code:
if steamid == STEAM_ID_LAN then
	player:AddAmmo( Ammo.kGren1, 4 )
end
And no grenades were added(starting with 0 as a spy).
And steamid is being declared using squeek's code above.
