can't block use l4d

Hi, I'm trying to block a call but nothing works for me, I tried to block on other cards, everything goes well. All that comes out is to kill the essence
https://yadi.sk/i/NWcO7KLF8gxMDA

PHP Code:


		
			
    int entity = -1;

        while ((entity = FindEntityByClassname(entity, "func_button")) != -1)

        {

            AcceptEntityInput(entity, "Lock");

        //    if(IsGameLockUse(entity))    

        //        AcceptEntityInput(entity, "Lock");

}

Re: can't block use l4d

Works for me:

PHP Code:


		
			
#include <sdktools>



public void OnPluginStart()

{

    RegAdminCmd("sm_lock", sm_lock, ADMFLAG_ROOT);

}



public Action sm_lock(int client, int args)

{

    int entity = -1;

    char sName[32];



    while( (entity = FindEntityByClassname(entity, "func_button")) != INVALID_ENT_REFERENCE )

    {

        GetEntPropString(entity, Prop_Data, "m_iName", sName, sizeof(sName));

        if( strcmp(sName, "washer_lift_button2") == 0 )

        {

            PrintToServer("LOCKED");

            AcceptEntityInput(entity, "Lock");

        }

    }



    return Plugin_Handled;

}

Re: can't block use l4d

This happens because game already has another one entity that unlocks this button.

For further reference to understand what's going on on the map use Input Hooks by SilverShot.

As a walkaround, I opened hammer -> Map Entity Report -> func_button -> search for that button, open its properties (Alt + Enter), see "Inputs", see who apply "Unlock". It's "math_counter" entity. So, you can lock it instead. Desired button is already locked when map starts, so you don't need lock it again.

PHP Code:


		
			
public void OnPluginStart()
{
    HookEventEx("round_freeze_end",        Event_RoundStartFreezeEnd,        EventHookMode_PostNoCopy);
}

public void Event_RoundStartFreezeEnd(Event event, const char[] name, bool dontBroadcast)
{
    char sName[64];
    int entity = -1;
    
    while ((entity = FindEntityByClassname(entity, "math_counter")) != -1) 
    {
        GetEntPropString(entity, Prop_Data, "m_iName", sName, sizeof(sName));
        
        if( strcmp(sName, "washer_lift_button_counter") == 0 )
        {
            AcceptEntityInput(entity, "Disable");
        }
    }  
}

        }
    }

    return Plugin_Handled;
}

This does not work in Left 4 Dead. I've already tried it like this.

        }

    }  

}

Is it too early during the game, can I temporarily block the call?

Works for me. I don't understand your question.

I tested this in both L4D1 and L4D2, it worked. So either you're doing something wrong or have something already manipulating that entity breaking it.

I never use this event, what's wrong with using "round_start"? That shouldn't be too early.

I tried your code and it doesn't work either :D

Alex, surely it will not work. Did you even read what I wrote to you?

Re: can't block use l4d

Maybe something else is "unlocking" the button, usually a "trigger_multiple"

But I bet that you guys tested in the same place from the screenshot, so I don't know.

Well, my advice for other maps.

I usually remove that unlocks/locks by stripper but you can make it through plugin too.

The stripper way I can explain, would be something like that:

Spoiler

The easiest way to found how the entity is being un/locked, is finding first the entity's targetname from the func_button, I do that with Silvers Dev Cmds Plugin, by typing !ent while aiming to the button.

After that I look through the stripper_dump file generated, where is "planeswitch_button" referenced.

Sometimes to lock you have to change the spawnflags too, depending on the entity classname.

All times are GMT -4. The time now is 02:14.
