CreateEntityByName

I get this error on my plugin, when I call CreateEntityByName native. How can I check, if the map is running or not?

PHP Code:


		
			
[SM] Exception reported: Cannot create new entity when no map is running

Re: CreateEntityByName

Simple, dont try create any entity before map load like OnMapStart, OnPluginStart...

Re: CreateEntityByName

You generally create enitities during the round_start event.

Re: CreateEntityByName

I use

PHP Code:


		
			
HookEvent("round_start_post_nav", eRoundStartPostNav);



public eRoundStartPostNav(Handle:hEvent, const String:sName[], bool:bDontBroadcast)

{



}

Never got issues from using that, if you still get issues try a 1sec timer or check if any one is alive ingame.

Entities were being removed/created after the round start event, but that didn't do the trick. I added a 3 second timer and that fixed the issue for me.

Re: CreateEntityByName

HookEvent( "round_start", Hook_RoundStartPost, EventHookMode_Post );

That's how I did it and works for me.

Re: CreateEntityByName

I think this is an exclusive event to L4D series, if you have this problem in another game, probably would use a different event or the other tips provided above.

Re: CreateEntityByName

"round_start" event has a problem in CS: S, CS:GO and probably in other Source games. Sometimes it is fired before entities are clean-up, thus all entities created in the post hook may be deleted right away. It is enough to add a timer with 1 frame delay to avoid this problem.

All times are GMT -4. The time now is 00:45.
