Removing clientside mutes against admins

So I'm trying to hack something together that's able to remove clientside mutes towards admins, in case they need to communicate to everyone - but I've had little luck getting it working as a novice to this.

Code:

public Action unmuteMeV(client, args) {



        char attArg[65];

        GetCmdArg(1, attArg, sizeof(attArg));

        

        int target = FindTarget(client, attArg, false, false);

        

        PrintToChat(client, "[DEBUG] GetListenOverride(%N, %N): %d", target, client, GetListenOverride(target, client));

        SetListenOverride(target, client, Listen_Yes);

        SetClientListening(target, client, true);

        PrintToChat(client, "[DEBUG] GetListenOverride(%N, %N): %d", target, client, GetListenOverride(target, client));

        PrintToChat(client, "[SM] You can now be heard by %N", target);

        

        return Plugin_Handled;



}

That's the main function I'm using - but GetListenOveride always ends up reporting 1, whereas 2 is the correct number, I believe, for unmuted.

Ideally I'd have it loop through every player and have them unmute the issuing admin, but right now I'm just trying to get it working at all.

Depicted is me running a mute-check, attempting to unmute "cringe patrol", then checking again.

I doubt you can. I would say its done client side which you cant "hack".

My reason for suspecting it is possible is the existence of this plugin which alleges to be able to enact clientside mutes. There are also plugins that are able to list the players who have enacted them against you.

Re: Removing clientside mutes against admins

The selfmute doesnt allege to change client side mutes, it simply replaces them as apparently having less steps.

Mutecheck, after checking the API can only get the mute status between two players.

I stick to my original reply.

There is a reason that the documentation says GetClientListening and SetClientListening are deprecated. Without testing, your code may just work if you remove the SetClientListening call.
