Changing the forwards' order?
 

I have 2 plugins:
A.smx
B.smx

A.smx is a plugin that reads buttons from OnPlayerRunCmd.
B.smx is a plugin that modifies the buttons in OnPlayerRunCmd.

A.smx sees the pre-modify value (which is 0 for me).
To make A.smx see the value B.smx modifies, I need to reload A.smx.

Is there anything I can do to accomplish the bold scenario without reloading the plugins or without changing A.smx's name to be alphabetically after B.smx?

Re: Changing the forwards' order?
 

It all depends on the order plugins were loaded in as the internal forward system for global forwards adds functions to forwards after the plugin is either compiled (before OnPluginStart) or after fully loaded (after OnPluginStart), not only that, there is no concrete order plugins are loaded in, it's undefined what the order will be.

Could call a forward from B.smx after buttons modified like OnPlayerRunCmdPost or something, and read in A.smx from there.

Eh.. that seems overkill :/ guess I'll make a native to update the buttons instead then.

You could try GetClientButtons on PostThink

merge A and B into one thing.

What if set dependence for plugin A from B. Will it do loading A only after B?
Also you can check in plugin A plugin loading order with plugin iterator and force A to reload if it loaded before B.

No, that kills my purpose.

That makes me wonder how many other function hooks SourceMod has where there is just a pre forward and no post forward.
