Could you please explain how to do it a bit more? If I hook a client he is not able to move/shoot at all. Or there is a way to hook clients nickname?

Okay... It seems like there is no way to make player's name invisible excepth setting it in steam settings. Ive tried Sdkhooks settransmit, NULL_STRING for player's name and a bunch of other ideas.
Anyways, Ill finish plans written on the main thread and it will be over for development

You dont need to change the players name, SDKHooks blocks the players model completely, youre just doing it wrong.

Well Ill show you what Ive tried to do with SDKhooks:

PHP Code:


		
			
SDKHook(client, SDKHook_SetTransmit, Hook_SetTransmit);

public Action:Hook_SetTransmit(client, entity)
{
    return Plugin_Handled;
}

This made invisible player to stuck. He wasnt able to move, shoot or do whatsoever

Try this:

PHP Code:


		
			
SDKHook(client, SDKHook_SetTransmit, Hook_SetTransmit);

public Action:Hook_SetTransmit(client, entity)
{
    if( client == entity )
        return Plugin_Continue;
    return Plugin_Handled;
}

Could You please explain me this code a little bit? Isnt client allways an entity? Than it would have no effect

You SetTransmit hook on an entity, usually a prop_dynamic or something. The transmit callback is fired for that prop_dynamic entity (or in this case the client) and fires every frame for all clients. You can then decide who should see that entity by return Plugin_Continue or not allowed to see that entity with return Plugin_Handled.

Because the entity you hooked is a client, all you have to do is check the entity and client are the same and allow that person to see themselves (so they can move etc), while they are blocked to everyone else.
