Problem with ply:Spectate

[Maksimo007]

Hello,
I have a problem with ply:Spectate( 6 ). When a player joins the server he gets the roaming spectator mode, so he has god mode and is flying. Now when he spawns I wrote this code:

ply:Spectate( 0 )
ply:UnSpectate()

It is all okay and he can move correctly, but he is invisible (the other players can only see the weapon) and has still god mode. Also there is no HUD.

Can you help me?

You don't have to set the spectate mode before unspectate. I'm not sure if this is the cause (since they would be called in the same frame).
If that doesn't help, there might be an addon confliction or some part of the gamemode doesn't get triggered correctly when the player is removed from spectating.

Don't use the actual values for the modes, they are [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Enums/OBS_MODE]Enums[/url].

Hmm, it does not work...
Here is a part of my whole code:

function GM:PlayerSpawn( ply )
	if ply:Team() == 1 then
		if #player.GetAll() > 1 then
			if round.Active == false or round.Prepare == true then
				ply:UnSpectate()
				ply:Freeze(false)
				ply:GodDisable()
				ply:SetMaxHealth( 100, true )
				pang = ply:GetAngles()
				ply:SetAngles(Angle(0, pang.y, 0))
	
				GAMEMODE:PlayerLoadout( ply )
				GAMEMODE:PlayerSetModel( ply )
				GAMEMODE:SetPlayerSpeed( ply, 250, 300 )
			end
		end
	elseif ply:Team() == 3 then
		ply:Spectate( OBS_MODE_ROAMING )
	end
end

function GM:PlayerSetModel( ply )
	ply:SetModel( "models/player/leet.mdl" )
end

--Give weapons

function GM:PlayerLoadout( ply )
	ply:Give("weapon_push")
end

function GM:PlayerInitialSpawn( ply )
	ply:SetTeam( 3 )
	if #player.GetAll() > 1 then
		if round.Active == false then
			if round.Prepare == false then
				print("Spawning...")
				round.Preparing()
			else
				GAMEMODE:PlayerSpawn( ply )
			end
		end
	else
		print("Nicht genuegend Spieler zum Starten!")
	end
	--print(round.Prepare)
end

function round.Broadcast(Text)
	for k, v in pairs(player.GetAll()) do
		v:ChatPrint(Text)
	end
end

function round.Preparing()
	round.Prepare = true
	round.Active = false
	print("Preparing...")

	for k, v in pairs(player.GetAll()) do
		if v:Team() == 3 or v:Team() == 2 then
			v:SetTeam( 1 )
			GAMEMODE:PlayerSpawn( v )
		end
	end
	
	round.Broadcast("Preparing! 20 Seconds!")
	timer.Simple(round.PrepareTime, round.Begin)
end

So my problem is that I spawn with Godmode, so I have no HUD.

There's quite a bit wrong... Change GAMEMODE:... calls to hook.Call( "....", GAMEMODE, args ); so hooks can modify behavior.

Don't use PlayerSpawn to spawn players, use v:Spawn( ); in round.Preparing and remove PlayerSpawn from PlayerInitialSpawn ( because PlayerSpawn is always called, even if InitialSpawn is also called the first time the player joins / spawns ).

Example of limiting player spawning when they join the server: [url]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/26074909/tutoring/_systems/spectating_players_system.lua.html[/url]

Hopefully those provide some insight.
