a plugin-based solution would be to check if the player has hit the buttons (or has hit a button x amount of times for maps like klanana etc where they count number of hits rather than unique buttons) before passing through a point (resets check on failing the jump) but that's a lot of extra work (per-map basis) to stop a few bad egg gamers from being bad gamers

what about maps where the button disappears (xhappy, pagoda?, others prob i cant think of rn) as other players hit it, or even when buttons have lights that display a hit so a player knows they actually hit it (like duey)

a plugin may not work on these maps, or be annoying at least

stop the buttons from disappearing and give HUD feedback on when a button was hit

even if we make a plugin work, the admins would have to go thru a ton of demos and remove times where "button cheaters" were utilized.

i like what superchuck proposed, where its a map-by-map basis and buttons that are commonly buttoncheated are removed anyways

but like he mentioned, there is a gray zone that emerges
