dont get ingame menus with MRecipientFilter working!

[Fix]

i made it after this tutorial: http://www.sourcewiki.org/wiki/index.php/Creating_an_in-game_menu_for_server_plugins#Creating_an_in-game_menu_for_server_plugins

but if i insert

if ( FStrEq( pcmd, "a_menu" ) )
{
IPlayerInfo *playerInfo = playerinfomanager->GetPlayerInfo(pEntity);
MRecipientFilter filter;
filter.AddRecipient(getIndexFromUserID(player Info->GetUserID()));
bf_write *pBuffer = engine->UserMessageBegin( &filter, 9 );
pBuffer->WriteShort( 7 ); //Sets how many options the menu has
pBuffer->WriteChar( -1 ); //Sets how long the menu stays open -1 for stay until option selected
pBuffer->WriteByte( false );
pBuffer->WriteString( "1.Assault Rifle\n2.AWP\n3.Exit" ); //The text shown on the menu
engine->MessageEnd();
return PLUGIN_STOP;
}

i cant compile anymore!

Compile bitbuf.cpp from the sdk and link with it :D

If you are on MSVC IDE (the error messages suggest that), just add the file to the project.

[Fix]

thx it works now to compile, but the console says


] a_menu
SV_BroadcastMessage: Recipient Filter for message type 23 (reliable: no, init: no) with bogus client index (-1) in list of 1 clients

[sslice]

Instead of using IPlayerInfo and converting UserID to entity index, just get the index straight from pEntity with engine->IndexOfEdict(pEntity);

[Fix]

MRecipientFilter filter;
filter.AddRecipient(engine->IndexOfEdict(pEntity));
bf_write *pBuffer = engine->UserMessageBegin( &filter, 9 );
pBuffer->WriteShort( 7 );
pBuffer->WriteChar( -1 );
pBuffer->WriteByte( false );
pBuffer->WriteString( "1.Assault Rifle\n2.AWP\n3.Exit" );
engine->MessageEnd();
return PLUGIN_STOP;
}
else if ( FStrEq( pcmd, "menuselect" ) )
{
const char *parameter = engine->Cmd_Argv(1);
if ( FStrEq( parameter, "1" ) )
{
engine->ClientCommand (pEntity, "buy m4a1;buy ak47;buy primammo;buy vesthelm;buy deagle;buy secammo;buy flashbang;buy hegrenade;buy flashbang");
}
else if ( FStrEq( parameter, "2" ) )
{
engine->ClientCommand (pEntity, "buy awp;buy primammo;buy vesthelm;buy deagle;buy secammo;buy flashbang;buy hegrenade;buy flashbang");
}
else if ( FStrEq( parameter, "3" ) )
{
engine->ClientPrintf(pEntity, "Menu Exited");
}
return PLUGIN_STOP;
}

return PLUGIN_CONTINUE;
}

if i now type a_menu nothing happens, no error, no menu :(

If you are running this in CS:S, you need to use UserMessage 10 instead of 9.

Example:

Use
bf_write *pBuffer = engine->UserMessageBegin( &filter, 10 );
Instead of...
bf_write *pBuffer = engine->UserMessageBegin( &filter, 9 );

[Fix]

hey ty you guys rule :D

but from where do you know such things?

and do you also know how to change the font's color?

and do you maybe know how to interpret command with variables? for example menu "string"

[Fix]

else if(FStrEq( pcmd, "msg" ))
{
char * msg;
Q_snprintf( msg, sizeof(msg), "%s \n", engine->Cmd_Args() );

mrf.AddAllPlayers( g_EmptyServerPlugin.myNumPlayers );
pWrite = engine->UserMessageBegin(&mrf,5); // 4 for HL2
pWrite->WriteByte( 4 ); // Centered TextMsg
pWrite->WriteString(msg); // Message
engine->MessageEnd();
}

but the ingame menu works andthe name of the plugin is EmptyServerPlugin!

Don't forget to declare your variables. :wink:

else if(FStrEq( pcmd, "msg" ))
{
char msg[255];
Q_snprintf( msg, sizeof(msg), "%s \n", engine->Cmd_Args() );
MRecipientFilter mrf;
mrf.AddAllPlayers( g_EmptyServerPlugin.myNumPlayers );
bf_write *pWrite = engine->UserMessageBegin(&mrf,5); // 4 for HL2
pWrite->WriteByte( 4 ); // Centered TextMsg
pWrite->WriteString(msg); // Message
engine->MessageEnd();
}

he doesnt know g_EmptyServer plugin!
but
//
// The plugin is a static singleton that is exported as an interface
//
CEmptyServerPlugin g_EmtpyServerPlugin;

What about g_EmptyServerPlugin?

[Fix]

why doesnt he compile?
look the quote

[Fix]

nobody knows anything?
