m_iCompTeammateColor
 

Can someone please explain why.

I use the command "sm_dump_netprops" and can see the values listed that I've used below.



SetEntProp(client, Prop_Send, "m_iCompTeammateColor", 2);

gives: Exception reported: Property "m_iCompTeammateColor" not found

Whereas I can use:

SetEntProp(client, Prop_Send, "m_iCoachingTeam", 3);
And it's fine.

What should I be using for the "m_iCompTeammateColor" and how do I differentiate how to use the values?

Many thanks.

Try something like this. Command is sm_setcompcolor

Thanks Franc1sco, but I've already seen https://github.com/b3none/compcolour.../compcolour.sp that does it the same way as yours.

Unfortunately that removes colours when people join the server and they have to set them again.


I'm more interested in what is wrong with:
SetEntProp(client, Prop_Send, "m_iCompTeammateColor", 2);

So I can understand for the future.

It looks like it is part of the Player Resource, so setting it on the client most likely wouldn't work.
From the compcolour plugin:
The other reason it might be giving a property not found is because it might be a Prop_Data. Although modifying properties that are managed by the player resource entity usually either has no actual effect, or is reset on next frame.

Thanks Balimbanana that gave me enough of a clue to sort it.

In both the examples, SetEntDataArray(entity, offset, player_colours, MAXPLAYERS + 1, _, true);
doesn't need to be continuously set. Once will suffice.
