Does anyone know of a [not-hardcoded-coordinates] way to check whether or not a player is in the spawn room or not?

You could try to calculate a set of bounding boxs that correspond to func_respawnroom.

How are these brush entities calculated as being internal vs external? Good question.


Alternatively, if we believe bl4nk and pheadxdll, then around September of last year there was a CFuncRespawnRoom :: PointIsWithin(Vector const&) function which could be used to test if a point were within a given func_respawnroom entity.

The signature for it given in http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=102731 may no longer be valid and is not part of that extension so it was likely not maintained.

Better yet, came across this static function while creating the buildings extension:

PointInRespawnRoom(CBaseEntity *, Vector const&)

It loops through all the respawn rooms and checks them. But it's probably easier to just write that code, instead of having to lookup and maintain a signature to call.

I'm going to try to write a stock for this, but do you know what the CBaseEntity * parameter is for? I'm assuming Vector const& is the point we want to see is in the spawn room or not.

I'm aware this is a huge necropost, but I'm also trying to write something which checks for players in respawn rooms. I can't say I have a huge amount of experience writing SourcePawn (I learn mostly by reading examples of others' work) so if someone could please explain how I'd use "PointInRespawnRoom(CBaseEntity *, Vector const&)" I'd be very grateful.
