I'm not using consoleCommand("kill"), I'm just using good old-fashioned scripting and TIDs for that.
I meant for the whole "Force them into Random"

Ah, right.  Well, I posted about it on the Zandronum tracker, and they're gonna cover that use case before they remove ConsoleCommand().

ConsoleCommand is a quick fix. If you plan to spend much more time on this, then you might want to look into recreating all classes without using any playerclasses, only inventory items and Weapon.PreferredSkin. I'm not sure whether or not it will be possible with these classes, but it could be worth a shot.

recreating all classes

Sorry, but fuck that shit.  I don't have the time or patience for something redundant like that.

Well yeah, that's why I said if you were planning on spending much more time on it. I recommended ConsoleCommand as something quick and dirty that works, but it's starting to sound like the "working" part will be a long shot. If it's possible to recreate the classes with inventory items, then that way will be cleaner (the randomizing part, anyway) and more flexible.

Everyone using a random classes having less "variety" than everyone using about 5 different classes goes against basic mathematics.

Uh... what? I was referring to removing certain cheap classes altogether as having less variety than usual. More choices = more variety, right?

Not really. Your options are:
2. ragequit and start your own indie development house like Ijon Tichy did

Believe it or not, that's exactly what I'm doing.  Just released my first game, too.
okay this is extremely off-topic


but that is amazing and I wish you the best
