I'm having trouble setting a users team in Counter-Strike with fakemeta.

I tried usingthe following to set to terrorist...
set_pev(id, pev_team, 1);

... but that didn't work.

Can someone let me knowhow to do this please?

Take a look at the source code to cs_set_user_team. It appears that there are a few private data offsets that you have to update in the player.

The below line should do that

PHP Code:

set_pdata_int(player_index_here, 114, team_index_here) 


This will not update the scoreboard. You have to send corresponding TeamInfo message to do that.

Thanks that works perfect.

Are there any good threads telling how pdata works? I tried searching but failed to find anything.

I would really like to understand what pdata is, and how it works, and where to get the offsets (whatever they are!).

I needed this to make custom team menus. I blocked the VGUI and text menu and created my own text menu.

Here is a problem though. When someone using VGUI menus tries to select a team, it doesn't set them on a team. If they are using the text menu style, then it works fine. The funny thing is that I made it so when a team was selected it would also print a message. The message prints, but the team doesn't change.

I'm testing this on a linux server, do you think the offset would have something to do with it?

The offset depends on the CPU type if it is a 32 or 64 bit CPU
and the OS...windows and linux have different offsets...
In the pdata natives there is a parameter for the linux offset difference.

#if cellbits == 32
    #define OFFSET_ARMORTYPE 112
#else
    #define OFFSET_ARMORTYPE 137
#endif
#define OFFSET_LINUX 5


....
...
if(!get_pdata_int(id, OFFSET_ARMORTYPE, OFFSET_LINUX)) set_realarmor(id);

....
....

//+++++ Manipulate the user armor ++++++
set_realarmor(id, armor=2)
{
    if(is_module_loaded("cstrike") != -1)
    {
        set_pdata_int(id, OFFSET_ARMORTYPE, armor, OFFSET_LINUX);
        message_begin(MSG_ONE, g_umsgA, {0,0,0}, id);
        write_byte(1);
        message_end();
    }
}

Hope that helps you a bit ;)
