detecting when a player spawns

Anthraxnz · **Author**

how do i check for if a player has spawned yet?
theres client_spawn but that doesnt seem to work.

Code:

register_event("ResetHUD", "yourfunction", "be")  
//calls a function, yourfunction, whenever you respawn

Use that.

be aware that event can be called other ways. It is a good idea to have a check in place to make sure the player actually died first or the round ended.

There is a better way: (VEN invented it if I remember correct)

Code:

register_event("HLTV", "event_new_round", "a", "1=0", "2=0")

Mind that it is global.

thats every new round though, not when a player spawns

And you should always make a delayed function. Here's a brief example:

Code:

#include <amxmodx>

public plugin_init()
{
  register_plugin("test" , "0.1" , "v3x");
  register_event("ResetHUD" , "event_ResetHUD" , "b");
}

public event_ResetHUD(id)
  set_task(0.1 , "delayed_ResetHUD" , id);

public delayed_ResetHUD(id)
{
  if(is_user_alive(id)) // you don't need to check if the person is alive if you're just setting variables though
  {
    //
  }
}

v3x: yes that is a good idea since there are lots of things where if they are done DURING resethud cause problems.

I learned my lesson on that a while ago

#include <CSX>

and 'client_spawn' will work xD

Note that ResetHUD happens twice most of the time(atleast with the specialists mod)
