that would work.

a better solution, if possible,
any chance that you can rig it so that it DOESNT spawn you in the first place if you're on a limited race already taken?
1- you join the server,
2- you pick a race (if u;re smart),
3- u want to join (say) CT, so u press "2",
4- then it takes u to that submenu asking for what player model to use.

THATS WHERE YOU COME IN:
Any chance that at THAT time, you make a check to see if the restricted race they're hopping on is taken? because at that time, u ARE part of the team, so the restrictions apply on you, but u still havent spawned yet. perfect time to do ur mojo.

5- u could either ask them to change race to something that works, after 10 seconds, it just spawns them then with a random starter race.?
6- they play their chosen race, or forced race for round 1 and change shit. but this will also avoid ppl exploiting countdown races like eye rae etc...

teh difference between this and your solution above is that this way we can avoid people being forced to play round 1 on a race they dnt like (say low level undead) just because soemone jacked their race. then again smart people check teams first before picking a race and compensate first round... ur call.
