+Use for TF2, hooked to secondary fire?

I'm trying to get a few plugins together that will make playing garrys mod maps in tf2 smooth.

One of the features that garry's mod has that TF2 doesn't is an abundance of +use functions. (Doors, levers etc.)

I know it's possible to hook into player actions to have it do alternate things. I'm wondering how to make a plugin that whenever you press your alt fire (right click) it also does +use.
This bind is called "+attack2"

Alternatively, it might work for this to be bound to whenever someone calls for medic. As in... look at a door, call medic... door opens.

Re: +Use for TF2, hooked to secondary fire?

you might be able to (Fake)ClientCommand +use

Re: +Use for TF2, hooked to secondary fire?

Thanks chdata for the response. I tried using FakeClientCommandEx() to send the command but I got a "Unknown command: +use" error message.

This is my code:

PHP Code:


		
			
public Action:OnPlayerRunCmd(client, &buttons, &impulse, Float:vel[3], Float:angles[3], &weapon)

{

    // Check if the player is secondary attacking (+attack2)

    if ((buttons & IN_ATTACK2) == IN_ATTACK2)

    {

        // If so, add the button to use (+use)

        FakeClientCommandEx(client, "+use");

    }

    return Plugin_Continue;

}

Re: +Use for TF2, hooked to secondary fire?

PHP Code:


		
			
public Action:OnPlayerRunCmd(client, &buttons){

    if ((buttons & IN_ATTACK2)){

        buttons &= IN_USE;

    }

    return Plugin_Changed;

}

Plugin_Changed should alter the buttons variable.

Re: +Use for TF2, hooked to secondary fire?

You might want to have you plugin verify that tf_allow_player_use is set to 1 so that the game server doesn't ignore +use.

Re: +Use for TF2, hooked to secondary fire?

Thanks guys for your help and support. The following is my working code for the simple plugin:

Turns out I needed a '+=' instead of the '&='

PHP Code:


		
			
public void OnPluginStart()
{
       //enable +use server side
    decl String:enableuse[255];
    enableuse="tf_allow_player_use 1";
    ServerCommand("%s", enableuse);      
}

public Action:OnPlayerRunCmd(client, &buttons)
{ 
    // Check if the player is secondary attacking (+attack2) 
    if ((buttons & IN_ATTACK2))
    { 
        // If so, add the button to use (+use)
        buttons += IN_USE; 
    } 
    return Plugin_Changed; 
}

Powerlord, does the modifications I made on the plugin start do what you suggested?

Sort of, but it can easily be done with one line of code instead of declaring strings for no reason. ServerCommand("tf_allow_player_use 1");

Re: +Use for TF2, hooked to secondary fire?

Or you can use:

PHP Code:


		
			
SetConVarInt(FindConVar("tf_allow_player_use"), 1);

(Assuming that's a cvar.)

It is a cvar, yes.

Re: +Use for TF2, hooked to secondary fire?

Ok, so I just spent the night putting new things into this plugin. I've also changed it so it doesn't need a string.
I want it to be eventually released to the public. Very open to suggestions/advice.

I've added 3 new features to this plugin.

1) It now modifies your speed and jump height to approximately match a Garry's mod character.
----> This requires TF2 Attributes
2) It uses the the [ANY] Resize Players plugin to re-size players to approximately match a Garry's mod character.
3) It now has a cvar to enable/disable. <-- this only works if it's set BEFORE the map loads... best way to do this is through map.cfg settings

What do you guys think?

PHP Code:


		
			
#include <tf2>
#include <tf2attributes>

#define GMAPTF2_VERSION "0.5"

new Handle:gmaptf2_enabled;
new oldjoin;
new Float:oldscale;

};

public void OnPluginStart()//When Plugin loads initialize the enable cvar
{
    gmaptf2_enabled = CreateConVar("gmaptf2_enabled", "1", "Enable or disable gmaptf2; 0 - disabled, 1 - enabled");
}

public OnAutoConfigsBuffered()//After the server.cfg has loaded
{    
    //First save the values of what resizeme has
    oldjoin=GetConVarInt(FindConVar("sm_resize_onjoin"));
    oldscale=GetConVarFloat(FindConVar("sm_resize_defaultresize"));
    
    //Then, if the plugin is enabled change the resizeme values    
    if(GetConVarInt(gmaptf2_enabled) == 1)
    {
        SetConVarInt(FindConVar("tf_allow_player_use"), 1); 
        SetConVarFloat(FindConVar("sm_resize_defaultresize"), 0.84);
        SetConVarInt(FindConVar("sm_resize_onjoin"), 2);    
    }
}

public void OnMapEnd()//On map end
{
    //Change resizeme variables back to what they were.
    SetConVarFloat(FindConVar("sm_resize_defaultresize"), oldscale);
    SetConVarInt(FindConVar("sm_resize_onjoin"), oldjoin);
}

public OnClientPostAdminCheck(client) // When player joins
{
    AlterSpeedandJump(client, 1); //Alter their jump and speed    
}

public Action AlterSpeedandJump(client, args)
{
    if(GetConVarInt(gmaptf2_enabled) == 1) // Check if gmaptf2 is enabled
    {
        new Float:value=0.84;

            TF2Attrib_SetByName(client, "major increased jump height", value);
            TF2Attrib_SetByName(client, "major move speed bonus", value);
        }            
    }    
    return Plugin_Handled;
}

public Action:OnPlayerRunCmd(client, &buttons)
{ 
    if(GetConVarInt(gmaptf2_enabled) == 1)
    {        
        // Check if the player is secondary attacking (+attack2) 
        if ((buttons & IN_ATTACK2))
        { 
            // If so, add the button to use (+use)
            buttons += IN_USE;    
        } 
        return Plugin_Changed;     
    }
    return Plugin_Continue
