Spawning on squadmates not blocked

[cat24max]

I was told this also happens in TDM, but my experience is coming from Rush:

When the Defenders loose a base, squadmates should not be able to spawn on teammates that are in the new attacker base. They should only be able to spawn on a teammate that is in the defender base or close too it.

This is a massive issue in regards to balance, because this limitation is intended to slow spawnrape.

Steps to reproduce:

1. You need two players, load up Damavand Peak Rush and both join Defenders.
2. Player 1 should move in the direction of attacker spawn.
3. Player 2 should not be able to spawn once Player 1 gets too far away from the base.
4. Player 2 is able to spawn.

Repro in TDM is even faster I guess.

Think #559 is related, will ask you to re-test when the new build is out.

@kiwidoggie I don't think this is solved

I kinda think that it's the AutoTeamEntity which has a DisableAllowedToSpawnOn event. This doesn't get triggered on Conquest but it does in TDM. The problem is that it does nothing. The AutoTeamEntityData has also some properties like .rotateTeamOnNewRound = true which did nothing when I set it to false.
Might be wrong and this is not relevant, but just in case that this could be related, here is my script:

Events:Subscribe('Level:Loaded', function()
	local s_AutoTeamEntityIterator = EntityManager:GetIterator("ServerAutoTeamEntity")
	local s_AutoTeamEntity = s_AutoTeamEntityIterator:Next()
	
	while s_AutoTeamEntity do
		s_AutoTeamEntity = Entity(s_AutoTeamEntity)
		s_AutoTeamEntity:RegisterEventCallback(function(ent, entityEvent)	
			print('AutoTeamEntity: Received entity event of type ' .. entityEvent.type .. ' and id: ' .. tostring(entityEvent.eventId) .. " from entity " ..  tostring(ent.data.instanceGuid))
		end)
		s_AutoTeamEntity = s_AutoTeamEntityIterator:Next()
	end
end)

Or maybe sth is wrong with the (client) player.isAllowedToSpawnOn which isn’t exposed in VU.

The class you posted is irrelevant (as server allows the spawn, not client).

This should work instead: https://docs.veniceunleashed.net/vext/ref/server/type/player/#isallowedtospawn

Also, cannot repro. Ensure that you didn't have deserting enabled.

I did these repro steps.
