[HELP] Writing a module hooking CBasePlayer::SetAnimation
 

Hello.
After a lot of trying with orpheu in this topic: https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=2282651 I've decided to write a new module to hook the CBasePlayer::SetAnimation, because it's the last thing I can do in that case. The problem is, that I've never written a module. I've got basic knowledge in C++ though. So:
1. Is there any tutorial or something written to help me learn module coding? I've been trying to search the forum but I didn't find it. Or maybe is there some basic code I can use to learn on (I don't need much, that will do).
2. How to hook the CBasePlayer::SetAnimation event in my module? In amxx it was (almost) all about byte signature in orpheu. How to make it with a module only?
3. How to make an AMXX Forward based on the functions I want to hook? If I "hook" this function, I think that I should make a hookable forward with AMXX and then supercede it (that's what I need to do, unfortunately). If you have any other ideas, can you tell me?

Thanks in advance and sorry for a problem. I just need to hook this function finally.

Are you sure you need it?

Yes, I'm pretty sure.
Check the link I've provided in the first post. HLDS has been updated and It's much harder to hook it now.

Alright, an update.
I've managed to open the example module (dod_mm) and find a tutorial.
It seems to make sense ;)
Now how to hook the SetAnimation functions?

Maybe look at how orpheu or okapi does that ? It may help, idk.

I was trying to understand how Arkshine did it in the AdminFreeLook module ( https://github.com/Arkshine/AdminFre.../master/module ), but I don't understand shit. I think I have to wait until he explains something.
By the way, Orpheu is much more complicated, especially that it hooks functions registered in signatures and used in plugins. I just cant get to read that thing in the code and I dont know what is what in the Orpheu source.

Try that.

Unzip setanimation-files in /dlls (1.8.2) or /modules (1.8.3-dev)

In your plugin use the OnSetAnimation forward:


EDIT: I guess I could add a native later.

It's just impossible not to love Arkshine! Thank you master, I'll give it a try tommorow.
For now, do you know what's the animations limit per 1 model? I remember that it was somewhere in SDK but I cant find it now :/

Re: [HELP] Writing a module hooking CBasePlayer::SetAnimation
 

Please define "animation limit per 1 model" ; I have no idea what it means.

I mean how many animations can one mdl file contain. (Player models have something like 117 animations if I remember well).
