 * @param szMessage        Message to show on donator connect
 * @return                Nothing
 */
native SetDonatorMessage(iClient, const String:szMessage[]);

Forwards:

PHP Code:

---

/**
 * Forwards when a donator connects.
 *
 * @param iClient        Client
 * @noreturn
 */
forward OnDonatorConnect(iClient);

/**
 * Forwards for everyone (right after OnPostAdminCheck)
 *
 * @param iClient        Client
 * @noreturn
 */
forward OnPostDonatorCheck(iClient);

Usage

For example, if you wanted to make donators immune to the auto team balance in gScramble you can add an IsClientDonator(client) check into the IsValidTarget(...) check to skip a player who is a donator.

Another feature is a centralized menu for plugins to register with which can minimize the amount of commands a player has to remember. This menu can be access by typing whatever CHAT_TRIGGER is set to (defaults !donators).

To register a menu with the core:

PHP Code:

---

public OnAllPluginsLoaded()
{
    DonatorMenu_RegisterItem("MENU TITLE", MenuCallback);
}

See one of the attached plugins for an example of a fully functional example.

Plugins using this interface:

TF2: Donator Recognition

Re: Basic Donator Interface
 

question...
the db that u wrote about setting up named donators, thats to fetch from db all donators so it knows who's a donator in server right?

What if a client on connect is given custom flag o (our donator flag) , would this plugin then see him as a donator?

How to change all instances of your flag to my flag o?
cause I can't figure out what flag you're using.

Re: Basic Donator Interface
 

This reads a database to get who is a donator, it does not currently have anyway of using flags to set donators.

Re: Basic Donator Interface
 

Ah I would use it.. but I realy don't want to create new database and all that... too much.

I rather have plugin check if the user has flag o . Cause we have another plugin that automatically assigns players' flags depending on what usergroup they are in on our vbulletin site.

It basically automatically gives them admin rights depending on their usergroup on our site :)


So yeah... would use it gladly but unfortunetly wont I guess since it doesnt work on checking if person has flag o

Re: Basic Donator Interface
 

That is an interesting setup, but just checking "o" is far too simple for what I'm looking to accomplish with this.

Re: Basic Donator Interface
 

Is it possible to set this up with the following?

Premium / VIP

- VIP Skin
- Immunity to Team Swap
- Immunity to vote kick/ban/mute
- Immunity to high ping kicker
- Free defusal when CT each round
- Free HE, FLASH, SMOKE - Flash disabled for non VIP
- Set $200 at round start

Can you help me set this up? Im not sure about this plugin or how it works. Is the above possible?

Re: Basic Donator Interface
 

Short answer: No.
Long answer: Yes, but that is not within the scope of this plugin since it is a core. You would need to make (or have someone make) a separate plugin which hooks into this one using the forwards and natives.

Re: Basic Donator Interface
 

Ahh ok thanks for your reply anyway. Would it be hard to make these separate plug-ins to do this? I wouldn't know where to start.

Re: Basic Donator Interface
 

I don't code for any other game than TF2, but I don't think it would be hard for someone to make that and hook it into this one.
