[CSS] Block Control
 

[Create reason]
This plugin was made for my friend's server. There are other no-block plugins for CSS, but none of'em gathers all these features in one, without issues like:

• hanged nades inside teammates,
• no breaking glass,
• decrease performance.
  

[Features]

• It is efficient and does not burden the server (checking only on collision event),
  
• No collisions between teammates (collide with other things e.g. opposite players) [Update 19.05.2019],
  
• No collisions between players and hostages (no problem with blocking players by hostages),
• Enable collision on duck - crouch to give sb a leg-up (after stand + 3 sec collisions disabled - "noblock on") [Update 19.05.2019]
  
• Nades:
  • they are not hanging inside players (they fly by teammates),
    
  • they collide with other entities (e.g. break glass, hurt opposite team players, hurt hostages).
    

[Requirements]

• CollisionHook - still works after 3 years,
• sv_turbophysics = 1 - ConVar not needed anymore, works fine without or with it too [Update 19.05.2019]

[Problems]

• There might be a collide with plugin [CSS & CSGO] Throwing Knives (can crash server randomly, without reason and any information's in logs).
• After update 12 May 2016 entities float on the maps it is Valve fault

Update 25.07.2016
Update 19.05.2019

• Simplified code,
• Simplified functionality: you will be able to jump on another person without any triggering (e.g: !nb in chat) its works automatically on collision detection, like in CSGO
• Nades behavior will be still the same, but with one different: threw from the same position of teammate (inside of the body) will collide with another teammate.
• Removed nonused convars - please reset (remove for regeneration) your plugin config.

Is this only for CSS?

Re: Block Control
 

Basically yes, but fill free to do changes :)

Re: Block Control
 

A note to be careful because CollisionHook is now unsupported by the original developer. If something happens to require a gamedata update, this plugin will break.

Re: Block Control
 

You are right, but:

• SdkHooks not support collisions between two entities and this is main point,
• I use this plugin lot of time some around 7 months and nothing change, CSS is abandoned game.

Re: Block Control
 

There is no need to use Collision Hook or detect collisions at all to:
- enable collisions "on duck"
- disable collisions for teammates, hostages
- probably for nades too, but this part is useless for me
I don't think it really is. On big servers many collisions happen every second.

Re: Block Control
 

Did you test all plugins with noblock, I did and this plugin solve all my problems with collisions in game.

Second is not millisecond and especially is not a tick, I didn't study statistic but believe me or not is "optimized" and works very well.
Your choose.

hey i cant download the blockcontrol.smx

Re: Block Control
 

The extension crashes L4D2 (Windows) as the gamedata is super outdated. If anyone has the latest update, please share it with others.

Re: Block Control
 

New version (v.1.1) added.

Yes, coz you need to compile from source (blockcontrol.sp) on your server side with all of extensions and includes.
