PersistentOverwatch

A simple plugin that makes the Overwatch role persist on round restarts. No configuration required.

it interferes with the natural spawning order, let me know if this is a problem for anyone

(by "interferes" i mean that Overwatch players still get handled by the base spawning system, their role simply gets overridden)

[vague oar]

Set players to overwatch in OnRoundStarting

Or OnRoundStarted, not sure if that works

[cold zealot]

that's what it does already

i don't think that prevents the players from being handled by the spawn system

oh nevermind, it does

the order stays the same

[vague oar]

It should, yeah

[cold zealot]

nice, that's not an issue then

Why not just set Overwatch when a player joins

That's what I do

Store a file with the UserIDs, restore the file at WaitingForPlayers, check players against the UserID list when they join

feels janky and doesn't let you hear the lobby

anyway the issue has been resolved, read below lol

[indigo kiln]

It's not about that issue

[indigo kiln]

It's what I do, I just added a few lines of code to let them hear the pre-game lobby

Doesn't even require a patch

The problem with only doing it when round starts is it won't persist for things like late joins
