Remove any entities at startup

1 Attachment(s)

Add the cvars below to the configs/amxx.cfg:

ent_remove_class <classname>
ent_remove_model <model> (this has to be full path)

Or, you can put this in configs/maps/*MAPNAME*.cfg for individual maps!
This will remove anything you want on startup.

Change this:

Code:

for(new i = 0;i < entity_count();i++)

to this:

Code:

new iEnts = entity_count();
for(new i = 0;i < iEnts;i++)

Or similiar.

What's the point of that? It's the same thing, and I tested it. Unless of course you meant to set entity_count() when the map loads, and dont get it again over and over?

This plays off a similar principle from before: cache results. The compiler will actually recompute your string length on each iteration of the loop. This will have even worse effects if your string changes mid-loop. A more sensible method is:

Code:

new string[256] = "something long"
new len = strlen(string)
for (new i=0; i<len; i++)
   //...code

I'm not using a string :) But I'll do this anyways.
Edit: Done

Your plugin wouldn't work all the time as intended because of possible "holes" between entities, i.e. empity entity slots.
You have to use get_global_int(GL_maxEntities) if you want complete plugin in similar way.
Also you can done that plugin with fakemeta module

Code:

engfunc(EngFunc_FindEntityByString, StartSearchAfterEntid, "classnameORmodel", "search_for_string")

notice the is_valid_ent() :p

VEN	03-20-2006 04:16

No, you didn't get it.

Lets say:
maxents == 5
entcount == 4
Entlist: 1, 2, 3, 5
4 is empty slot.

Now if you would use loop, you'll get:

From 1 to 4, i.e 1, 2, 3, 4.

Yes, your script would pass 1, 2, 3 and detect that 4 is invalid BUT script wouldn't detect 5.
Why? Yes, because of that "hole".
And look what if maxents instead of entcount is used?
Yes, no such problem.

You won't be able to remove hostage_entity with that it'll cause the server to crash.

There are plugins similar to, and more powerful than, this one.
