Update 270 & LR mod

MetaMind

Hi,
I m trying to get my mod (Last Resistance) playble on ns2 v270 but having probs with the "teamswitch when killed"- feature.
In the past I handled it via the player_server.lua:

local function UpdateChangeToSpectator(self)

    if not self:GetIsAlive() and not self:isa("Spectator") then
    
        local time = Shared.GetTime()
        if self.timeOfDeath ~= nil and (time - self.timeOfDeath > kFadeToBlackTime) then
        
            // Destroy the existing player and create a spectator in their place (but only if it has an owner, ie not a body left behind by Phantom use)
            local owner = Server.GetOwner(self)
            if owner then
            
                // Queue up the spectator for respawn.
                local spectator = self:Replace(AlienSpectator.kMapName, kAlienTeamType)
           //     spectator:GetTeam():PutPlayerInRespawnQueue(spectator)
                spectator:GetTeam():ReplaceRespawnPlayer(spectator)   
                TechUnlocker()
            end
            
        end
        
    end
    
end

...but when killed it switches me to alien but I cant respawn... I'm stuck in the respawnqueue or something...apparently the "spectator:GetTeam():ReplaceRespawnPlayer(spectator) " line isnt working... am I right?

Can anyone help me out here plz?
