[L4D2] Get Ghost Spawntime

Hello all,

I'm new in Sourcemod Scripting so I'm sorry for this noob question.

I'm trying to get the ghost spawntime and excute some code if clients spawntime is under 4 seconds.

Here is my code:

PHP Code:


		
			
#include <sourcemod>



#define TEAM_INFECTED    3



public onPluginStart()

{

    HookEvent("ghost_spawn_time",event_ghost_spawn_time, EventHookMode_Post); 

}



public event_ghost_spawn_time(Handle:event, const String:name[], bool:dontBroadcast)

{

    

    new client = GetClientOfUserId(GetEventInt(event,"userid"));

    new spawntime = GetEventFloat(event,"spawntime");

    if (IsHumanPlayer(client) && IsPlayerGhost && GetClientTeam(client) == 3 && spawntime < 4)

    {

        // DoSomeThing

    }

}

But that isn't working. ;'(

Re: [L4D2] Get Ghost Spawntime

Code:

new spawntime = GetEventFloat(event,"spawntime");

spawntime should be a float.

Code:

if (IsHumanPlayer(client) && IsPlayerGhost && GetClientTeam(client) == 3 && spawntime < 4)

I don't know what IsHumanPlayer does and IsPlayerGhost doesn't look right. Is it a variable or supposed to be a function call? Anyway, here's how I'd write it:

Code:

if (client > 0 && client <= MaxClients && IsClientInGame(client) && !IsFakeClient(client) && GetClientTeam(client) == 3 && spawntime < 4.0)

Re: [L4D2] Get Ghost Spawntime

Thank you,

I tried that:

PHP Code:


		
			
if (client > 0 && client <= MaxClients && IsClientInGame(client) && !IsFakeClient(client) && GetClientTeam(client) == 3 && spawntime < 4.0)

But my Code will not excute :(

I don't know much about how this event works, but maybe it fires only once when the player becomes ghost.

Anyway try like this:

PHP Code:


		
			
#include <sourcemod>

#pragma semicolon 1
#pragma newdecls required

#define TEAM_INFECTED    3

public void OnPluginStart()
{
    HookEvent("ghost_spawn_time", event_ghost_spawn_time);
}

public void event_ghost_spawn_time(Event event, const char[] name, bool dontBroadcast)
{

    int client = GetClientOfUserId(event.GetInt("attacker"));
    int spawntime = event.GetInt("spawntime");

    PrintToChatAll("client %N | time %i", client, spawntime);

    if (1 <= client <= MaxClients && IsClientInGame(client) && !IsFakeClient(client) && GetClientTeam(client) == 3 && spawntime < 4)
    {
        PrintToChatAll("Do Something");
    }
}

If that doesn't fire every second, then you may need to create a timer to make the "countdown"

Re: [L4D2] Get Ghost Spawntime

I went ahead and actually tested it and found another issue. onPluginStart needs to be OnPluginStart or else it won't fire.

Also, as Marttt mentioned, the event only fires once when you become a ghost. So if you spawn in and your spawntime isn't less than 4s it won't work. Testing alone worked for me, because I was getting a 3s respawn time but I know with more people the respawn time will be higher.

This is the full code I tested and it worked:

Code:

#include <sourcemod>



#define TEAM_INFECTED    3



public OnPluginStart()

{

    HookEvent("ghost_spawn_time",event_ghost_spawn_time, EventHookMode_Post); 

}



public event_ghost_spawn_time(Handle:event, const String:name[], bool:dontBroadcast)

{

    

    new client = GetClientOfUserId(GetEventInt(event,"userid"));

    new Float:spawntime = GetEventFloat(event,"spawntime");

    if (client > 0 && client <= MaxClients && IsClientInGame(client) && !IsFakeClient(client) && GetClientTeam(client) == 3 && spawntime < 4.0)

    {

        PrintToChatAll("%i spawned. spawntime %f", client, spawntime);

    }

}

Re: [L4D2] Get Ghost Spawntime

this sounds like an anticheat detection method could you maybe put this in sourcemod anticheat??

Yep, that is working :) Thank you! :up:

Re: [L4D2] Get Ghost Spawntime

@canadianjeff

Probably the help he asked for is not for some kind of anti-cheat, maybe its just a warning to the player that he will spawn in "4" seconds, or do some kick/slay if it doesn't move, for example, if you have issues with this, I recommend opening a new thread in the forum asking for help, instead using this one.
