Preventing teammates re-entering spawn room

Hi all!

For my next project I'm looking for a way to prevent teammates from re-entering their own spawn room. At the moment, I solved this problem with a spawn room door which can be opened via a trigger_multiple on just one side of the door (the spawn room side). Off course, this works like a charm. But, players can still re-enter the spawn room when the door is opened by another player in the spawn room. Is there any way I could block players with an invisible one-way wall?

Thanks in advance!

I cheap solution would be a trigger_push set to a value high enough that the player can't fight against it to get through.

Don't set it too high though or people will notice/abuse it somewhow.

If you make it a drop down with a one-way door, it should be virtually impossible to get back up.

The very quick and dirty way to make a 1-way door.
Works regardless of team affiliation.

Edit #1 :: Its a teleporter.

Edit #2 :: For completeness, you should add a func_respawnroomvisualizer entity between the teleporter and the destination. Then set its filter so both teams will be blocked from entering.

Yeah, it requires tricks. Vertical drops, sneaky teleports, precise triggers, push entities, etc.

I don't advocate using tricks really. Players shouldn't have a reason to want to go back through one way spawn exits.

Displacements will work, but only if you make sure the player goes the whole way through and doesn't decide to chicken out halfway.

Thank you all for those suggestions. I really appreciate it, but none of them will really work in my map. I'll find another solution...

(kinda strange that there's no standard one-way wall entity in the game)
