Random C4 Timer by SweatyBanana.

I made this plugin from scratch from one in the unapproved section. The one in the unapproved section did not work in an efficient way and I decided to change it up a bit.

This plugin randomly changes the c4 timer at roundstart. There are 2 cvars to limit how long the random timers limits go. There is also a cvar for anouncements.

It is not mod specific restricted by a module needed, but as far as I know, CounterStrike is the only mod with mp_c4timer.

This plugin has been tested and is fully functional.

CVARS:

• rc4_announce [DEFAULT: 4] - You can add the below numbers up.
  • 0: Do not anounce anything.
  • 1: Announce a personal CT message.
  • 2: Announce a personal T message.
  • 4: Announce a general change with value.
  • 8: Announce a general change with no value.

• rc4_mintime [DEFAULT: 20] (minimum random time the c4 can be)
• rc4_maxtime [DEFAULT: 35] (maximum random time the c4 can be)

MODULES:

• FakeMeta

The reason I used fakemeta is because it is one of the only ways that you can really find out if the map is a de_ map..Since there is no way to tell from the name of a map, I used the fakemeta function to find out if there was a bombsite entity.

Installation:

1. Click get plugin.
2. Put RC4.amxx in your addons/amxmodx/plugins/ folder.
3. put rc4dict.txt in the addons/amxmodx/data/lang/ folder.
4. Add a line to addons/amxmodx/configs/plugins.ini like so:

RC4.amxx

yah, nice plugin Sweaty

[Xanimos]

Not being mean but:
1) Why the cvar flags...I don't see why you need them...maybe the unlogged one
2) Why not use pcvars?

[SweatyBanana]

PCVARS added, cvar flags removed except unlogged.

I strongly suggest you change the name of your CVARS.

    maxTime = register_cvar("amx_maxtime","35",FCVAR_UNLOGGED);
    minTime = register_cvar("amx_mintime","15",FCVAR_UNLOGGED);
    anoun = register_cvar("amx_anouncec4","1",FCVAR_UNLOGGED);

Generally speaking, your CVARS should not be prefaced with "amx". They should be prefaced with the short name for your plugin. In your case, I guess that might be "rc4". You might also want to spell "announce" correctly unless you're misspelling it on purpose.

You should also store the original mp_c4timer value and then restore it when your plugin ends. Let me know if I need to explain why.

[Brad]

An additional feature that might be nice is having an option to specify who gets what message. For instance, the terrorists might radio to one another what the specific timer is but not share any info with the CTs.

Thank you for your feedback..

Do you think that if I simply specified another cvar to reset the C4 to, it would be ok?

[Brad]

You mean to optionally reset the C4 timer at the end of the plugin? I would think that it should be hardcoded. Rule of thumb when programming, if you change a global variable make sure to reset it to it's original value when you're done with it. Rationale being that you don't know that the user will have done something to make it reset.
