Summary0001502: Force Player to Spectator after self-death when sv_norespawn is true. (Duel)
DescriptionWhen player dies by his own hands (rather the hands of the opponent), then "fraglimit 1" has no effect to determine a winner of the match.

When sv_norespawn is true, can we force the player to spectator when player kills himself? Perhaps check for event "player dies" and check "does player have -1 frags" ?

Steps To ReproduceStart a Duel server, add a bot, and put yourself on god mode.

Let bot walk up close to you; bot fires rocket launcher at you enough times it will damage itself, eventually killing itself.

Bot stays dead. Does not go to spectator, and rejoin.
Additional InformationI noticed that even though "sv_losefrag" is false, the player still gets -1 frags from killing itself. So, it seems "sv_losefrag" only applies to when you die by the hands of your opponent.

I noticed in the Skulltag code, some instances where the programming is such: "if (player->ulLivesLeft == 0) { PLAYER_SetSpectator( player, false, true ); ... ... }"

If that same logic is being used in cases (with Frags?) like this (Duel + Self kill), could you maybe change it to be: "if (player->ulLivesLeft <= 0) { ... }" so that "<=" it catches a player's frag count of -1 and forces them to spectator?

I can't even do ACS for this functionality, because PLAYER_SetSpectator() is not defined in ACS, even though I see PLAYER_SetSpectator() being used in Skulltag's code. See screenshot:'http://d.pr/i/apqR [^]'

Okay, I found a work around for this.

script 3 DEATH
{
    if (PlayerFrags() == -1) {
        delay(175); // Delay 5 seconds.
        KickFromGame(PlayerNumber(), "DEAD.");
    }
}

Not ideal, but works. I'd prefer to use PLAYER_SetSpectator, or at least prefer instead that the Zandronum engine does it itself by default.

There's something I'm adding in the future that may address this
