[Any] Allow Admins to spectate the other team
 
I've been looking for a way to do this and I haven't found one yet...

I'm using Simple Spectate to give my Admins moderating options when they're dead or if they want to spectate and punish players who break the rules.

My problem is that I have mp_forcecam 1 selected in my server.cfg, I don't want players to be able to spectate the other team for obvious gameplay reasons. However, I DO want my Admins to spectate the other team for obvious moderating reasons.

I've found this plugin for AMX Mod but haven't found anything similar for Sourcemod... Can anyone please offer some assistance?

Anyone? It doesn't seem to be extremely difficult...

Re: [Any] Allow Admins to spectate the other team
 
Have you tried that other plugin?
I kinda think he switches every dead admin to spectator until the round begins again or am I wrong there?

The "other plugin" is an AMX Mod plugin, I use Sourcemod naturally.

Why is that a fail post? I just tried it (I saw it before the edit) and my Admin said he could spectate the other team! Tell me your secrets, oh Dreamy one!

EDIT: Yeah I just figured by reading it, normal players will fade to black when they die right? Damn. If you could offer something else I'll be really grateful, you seem awfully helpful around here.

Re: [Any] Allow Admins to spectate the other team
 
ye no fail post afterall xD thought u can still see the radar after the fade, which apparently is NOT the case ;)

here it is:
PHP Code:
#include <sourcemod>

#define FFADE_OUT           0x0002  
#define FFADE_STAYOUT       0x0008
#define FFADE_PURGE         0x0010

public Plugin:myinfo = 
{
    name = "FadeForce",
    author = "Dreamy",
    description = "mp_forcecam done via screen fade",
    version = "1.0",
    url = "SourceMod.net"
}

public OnPluginStart()
{
    ServerCommand("mp_forcecamera 0");
    ServerCommand("mp_fadetoblack 0");
    HookEvent("player_spawn", Event_Spawn);
    HookEvent("player_death", Event_Death);
}

public Event_Spawn(Handle:event, const String:name[], bool:dontBroadcast)
{    
    new client = GetClientOfUserId(GetEventInt(event, "userid"));
    if (GetClientTeam(client) < 2)
        FadeToBlack(client);
}

public Event_Death(Handle:event, const String:name[], bool:dontBroadcast)
    FadeToBlack(GetClientOfUserId(GetEventInt(event, "userid")));

FadeToBlack(client) 
{
    if (GetUserAdmin(client) != INVALID_ADMIN_ID)
        return;
    
    new Handle:hFadeClient = StartMessageOne("Fade",client);
    BfWriteShort(hFadeClient, 0);
    BfWriteShort(hFadeClient, 0);
    BfWriteShort(hFadeClient, (FFADE_OUT|FFADE_PURGE|FFADE_STAYOUT));
    BfWriteByte(hFadeClient, 0);
    BfWriteByte(hFadeClient, 0);
    BfWriteByte(hFadeClient, 0);    
    BfWriteByte(hFadeClient, 255);
    EndMessage();
} 
what else do u want?

I appreciate the coding effort but your system isn't working well. From what I can tell it does allow my admin to spectate the other team but normal players have a black screen every time they die...

I just want my admins to be able to spectate everyone with nothing else changing.

EDIT: upon further inspection all your plugin does is change mp_forcecamera to 0 (which I can do in my server.cfg but of course players will be able to spectate the other team) and then cause non-admins to get a black screen. Any other ideas?

Re: [Any] Allow Admins to spectate the other team
 
If it works it's some workaround I guess, but maybe we can work from there? Instead of creating a timer, would it be possible to deny the command entirely (but silently) and instead supply the user with his next target manually?

Dreamy 03-14-2012 12:19
Re: [Any] Allow Admins to spectate the other team
 
nah there was a reason why I created a timer.. :P

but its actually quite simple with sdkhooks:
PHP Code:
#include <sourcemod>
#include <sdkhooks>

public OnPluginStart()
    HookEvent("player_death", Event_Death);

public Event_Death(Handle:event, const String:name[], bool:dontBroadcast)
{
    new client = GetClientOfUserId(GetEventInt(event, "userid"));
    if (GetUserAdmin(client) == INVALID_ADMIN_ID)
        SDKHook(client, SDKHook_PostThink, CheckObserver);
}

public Action:CheckObserver(client)
{
    new team = GetClientTeam(client);
    new ent = GetEntPropEnt(client, Prop_Send, "m_hObserverTarget");
    if (team != GetClientTeam(ent))
    {
        for (new i = 1; i < MaxClients+1; i++)
        {
            if (IsClientInGame(i))
            {
                if (IsPlayerAlive(i) && (team == GetClientTeam(i)))
                {
                    SetEntPropEnt(client, Prop_Send, "m_hObserverTarget", i);
                    return Plugin_Handled;
                }
            }
        }
    }
    return Plugin_Handled;

this is just to see if its working or not (so dont complain about OnClientCommand), I can make a plugin out of it if everything is alright.

Doesn't work, because admin can spec only 1 random player without possibility to change him.

Re: [Any] Allow Admins to spectate the other team
 
You can do this easily with a hook :P here is a quick example

Example

Gamedata


The example requires DHooks

All the example does is even with mp_forcecamera 1 it still allows everybody to spec anybody (I was too lazy to add anything else to it). But if someone wants to use it they are free to use this method if they want. Note that I only provided the gamedata for cstrike. But if someone wants the offset for another game feel free to ask and ill try to get them.

Re: [Any] Allow Admins to spectate the other team
 
haha really thought about taking your awesome extension (did it with sdkhooks b4 but hooking playerthink kinda felt wrong)..
+i didnt know how to get those offsets..

dammit its only in alpha, but I already love it :D

http://wiki.alliedmods.net/Finding_Virtual_Offsets Thats a tutorial on how to get them.

Also, its only in pre alpha since I didnt test it fully (I didnt test all the possible combinations of params/returns which if something is wrong can cause a crash) and Im still adding param types/other things. But its safe to use (as long as you test the hook) and wont change much in terms of what is there already.

As for your pm for the offsets for TF2
Gamedata


If it dosnt work let me know. Linux should be right, but windows might not.

Edit:
Also just realized you can get them from here http://www.sourcemodplugins.org/inde...=vtableoffsets Select the game and search for "IsValidObserverTarget"

Re: [Any] Allow Admins to spectate the other team
 
So should I wait for a DHooks-based plugin or does one of the above succeed? I already crashed my Arena server several times (my fault, obviously) by doing this so I'd rather have something at least semi-stable to test.

Which one is crashing? The DHooks one? If so it'd need to be looked into. I know in CS:S it works.

FudgePoly 03-16-2012 20:04
Re: [Any] Allow Admins to spectate the other team
 
Nah, Dreamy and some of the earlier ones crashed it because something was incomplete (he said it worked in CS:S but TF2 was having troubles). I haven't checked out your example since I don't have DHooks installed, I want to know if we have a working WIP to test so that installing it won't go to waste.

Re: [Any] Allow Admins to spectate the other team
 
using the code Dr!fter posted and putting in a check for admin works, however, if you have mp_forcecamera 1, then even if you're allowed to spec as an admin, the radar doesn't work, but it definitely is a WIP project for me. :)

You could simple switch the logic and have mp_forcecamera 0. Then just check if they arent admin and that the target isnt on their team. If they arent change the return to false and done. Or if you want a challenge find what gets called to update the radar or not hook that and return true :P although it might not exist.

Edit:

After some thinking the above idea might not work. Since you might not want them to show up on radar, plus you have to check Observer Mode (you could hook the observer mode and block them changing it). As for the radar im pretty sure there is a snippet on how to remove them somewhere iirc (or how to add them). In tf2 however you dont have to worry about the radar :P

Re: [Any] Allow Admins to spectate the other team
 
I'm only using TF2 so I really do not care for CS:S elements... but if we're gonna help the community I guess we should have it fully working right?

Dr!fter 03-21-2012 15:17
Re: [Any] Allow Admins to spectate the other team
 
So for cs:s i had a look if i could fake the radar (I couldn't fake the spectator one). I also had a look if there was something that changed how data was passed to the client (couldn't see anything specific). So i came up with the idea of hiding the radar from non admins, leaving mp_forcecamera to 0, and blocking non admins from spec other team. So you could give that a try :P I will look into it further though see if i can find anything for the radar.

Re: [Any] Allow Admins to spectate the other team
 
first of all fudgepoly should investigate the problem of his server crashing when using dhooks...
wrote him this a couple of days ago:

PHP Code:
#include <sourcemod>

new Handle:hIsValidTarget;

public OnPluginStart()
{
    new Handle:temp = LoadGameConfigFile("allow-spec.games");
    if(!temp)
        SetFailState("Y U NO has gamedata? (3o_O)3");
    
    new offset = GameConfGetOffset(temp, "IsValidObserverTarget");
    hIsValidTarget = DHookCreate(offset, HookType_Entity, ReturnType_Bool, ThisPointer_CBaseEntity, IsValidTarget);
    DHookAddParam(hIsValidTarget, HookParamType_CBaseEntity);
    CloseHandle(temp);

    AddCommandListener(cmd_mode, "spec_mode");
}

public OnClientPostAdminCheck(client)
{
    if ((GetUserAdmin(client) == INVALID_ADMIN_ID) && !IsFakeClient(client))
        DHookEntity(hIsValidTarget, true, client, RemoveCB);
}

public Action:cmd_mode(client, const String:command[], args)
{
    return (GetUserAdmin(client) == INVALID_ADMIN_ID)?Plugin_Handled:Plugin_Continue;
}

public MRESReturn:IsValidTarget(this, Handle:hReturn, Handle:hParams)
{
    new team = GetClientTeam(this);
    new target = DHookGetParam(hParams, 1);
    if (team > 1 && target > 0 && target <= MaxClients)
    {    
        if(team != GetClientTeam(target))
        {

            return MRES_Override;
        }
    }
    return MRES_Ignored;
}

Re: [Any] Allow Admins to spectate the other team
 
Like I said Dreamy it only crashed once and for some reason it didn't after the auto-restart... but spectating treated me (admin with every single flag) as a normal player as far as spectation goes (could only spectate my own team).

*I tested with bots so maybe it does work with normal players? I dunno. Not like it's much different for TF2...

I tested with bots on tf2 and got it to work fine. Ill have a look tomorrow at the actual plugin.

Got what to work fine? DHooks was operational after the crash, the problem was with the plugin that Dreamy made (but that could be related to CVARs etc. so I'd appreciate someone else having a look).
