No, using OPU for a spawn protection is purely stupid, we have OnPlayerGiveDamage and OnPlayerWeaponShot and a couple more callbacks to manipulate P2P damage, what would be the point on doing thousands of checks when one might not even get hit in that protection timer?

Timers have another purpose, it's not for doing checks and preventing players from doing something but to allow certain code to execute after a given time.

if you want to prevent a player to do something for a certain amount of time, you need to use a timestamp or tickcount to do that, but if you want something to happen after a certain time, you need a timer (I.E allowing player to report once a minute? timestamp, robbing store when a player stays in certain checkpoint for a minute? timer)


About the second question, #if checks are done compile time, even if what you wrote was allowed by pawn (which isn't) what would be the point? vehicles are created at runtime, think logically, during compile time there is obviously no vehicle so GetVehiclePoolSize() would be 0.
