what module of asss core handles a players respawn? it would have the call back for mykill() and then a timer to wait for time_respawn_after_kill or w.e. that cfg item is called.

None of them. That's handled by continuum.

The client spawns the player, and doesn't even notify the server that the player has been respawned, IIRC. I WISH it did.

you can force the player to spawn in a small box in the corner of the map and then warp him to where he's supposed to start, the player will barely notice the difference and you can respond to player spawn events as well as have alternate spawn locations based on some condition (I think Desert Storm used something similar for their multiple spawn point bot).

I used to do the whole spawn-in-a-box trick. You can be a bit smarter with asss though.

Set a flag when they die, and listen for the next position packet with an actual position. When you find it, trigger your respawn event. hscore_spawner has all the gory details.

You could always turn it into a nice module that registered a CB_SPAWN. That would be the ideal solution, I'd think.
