Feature too enable / disable player spawn points

[Combine900]

Details

If its possible, could we add the startdisabled keyvalue too the players spawn point entities?

Could be useful if you make a map support multiple gamemodes like TTT uses info_player_deathmatch but they are also used on sandbox. So you could disable them on sandbox and use info_player_start somewhere else.

What exactly is wrong with having Sandbox players spawning on TTT spawnpoints?

I am just not sure how you expect it to work regarding what disables the spawnpoints. Existing gamemodes will not respect any features like that that we can add.

You could probably have the spawnpoints named, and have a lua_run Entity just remove specific ones by name depending on gamemode if it's really that important to you. I am not sure there's currently a way for the map to retrieve the gamemode name via other entities. Maybe something to be added to logic_auto or something? An output like on Map Spawn but one that also provides the gamemode name as a parameter?

Its more that the TTT spawnpoints are also used on sandbox, if you want a specific place for the player too spawn on sandbox they also spawn on the info_player_deathmatch spawnpoints.
