Here's some code snips I found for detecting spawn spam in Crusade's various mods:

function RecordFireThrow (Pawn P, Weapon W)
{
	local ThrowWeapon DisableGren;

	if (!LegalWeaponAction(P,W))
	{
		AGP_Weapon(W).ClientTempLowerWeapon(False);
		doWarning("Pawn Killing", P);
  	}
	
	if ( (SpamProtectTime <= 0) || (Level.Game.TimeLimit * 60 - Level.GRI.RemainingTime >= SpamProtectTime) )
  	{
    		return;
  	}

  	foreach Level.DynamicActors(Class'ThrowWeapon',DisableGren)
  	{
    		if ( (DisableGren.Instigator == None) || (DisableGren.Instigator.PlayerReplicationInfo == None) ||  !DisableGren._bLostSpoon || (DisableGren._fDamage == 0) )
    		{
      			continue;
    		} 
		else 
		{
      			DisableGren._bLostSpoon = False;
      			DisableGren._fDamage = 0.0;
      			DisableGren._fEffectDuration = 0.0;
       	 		DoWarning("Grenade Thrown at spawn", p);
    		}
  	}
}

Then in the .ini for this (this was in an early version of HackHunter) is this:
SpamProtectTime=15

Hack hunter was a great tool back in the day

I can see similar code in ExploitEnder.
The above code is definite for Grenades, are 203's treated as grenades in AA?

This might be a function that might be used to detect Early 203(or GP).

Code: [Select]

Function Spamprotect()
	{
		local Projectile DisableProj;

		foreach Level.DynamicActors(Class'Projectile',DisableProj)
		{
				if ( (DisableProj.Instigator == None) || (DisableProj.Instigator.PlayerReplicationInfo == None) || (DisableProj.Damage == 0) )
				{
					continue;
				} 
				else 
				{
					DisableProj.Damaage = 0.0;
					DoWarning("203 Shot at spawn", p);
				}
		}
	}

Not tested the code, but I think it might work without much change.
Might have to check class of the projectile to be accurate. But if we merge the two, we should be able to add an optional(Server Owner) spawn protection.

So question is if we should add it, and what punishment, at the moment it just makes the projectile and grenade to cause no injury.

I say make the protection for all nades except smoke. Maybe even gunfire too (if possible), each one configurable to a different time would be nice.

Grenades, incendiaries and 203s aren't needed for a while but in smaller maps, guns and smokes can be used pretty quickly. Same for RPG/BDM, especially on breachable maps.

As far as punishing, maybe just a warning to the user and a console message and disabling of the item. Global admin messages for all users shouldn't be used, it distracts from gameplay.

I think a nice slap would work

There's maps like Bridge where a lot of people spam bullets much sooner than it's possible to see enemy. Each map would have to be configured but that could be a server owner's option. Let the owner choose the spam time.
