[CS] Player Models API 1.2

[CS] Player Models API

http://i.imgur.com/5Lu1j.jpg

This is basically an API intended to replace <cstrike> player model changing natives, based off my previous tutorial ([TUT-CS] Changing player models and lowering svc_bad). I did this mainly for scripters that don't really care about the specifics, and just want something that works out of the box.

Details:

Allows easily setting and restoring custom player models in CS and CZ (models last until player disconnects or are manually reset)
Built-in SVC_BAD prevention
Support for custom hitboxes (model index offset setting)
You still need to precache player models in your plugin!

Natives:

Code:

/**
 * Sets a custom player model.
 *
 * @param id            Player index.
 * @param model   Custom model's short name.
 */
native cs_set_player_model(id, const model[])

/**
 * Restores CS default model for player.
 *
 * @param id        Player index.
 */
native cs_reset_player_model(id)

Usage:

Download files below into your scripting folder, then do: #include <cs_player_models_api> in your plugin to be able to use the natives.

Cool. I just made this for the svc_bad problems mostly, so this can be used in like a generic zombie mod plugin to change all player models at once and it will take care of delays and everything automatically.

Re: [CS] Player Models API 1.0

AFAIK you don't need delay or I've missed something. In CS, there is no delay. The plugins linked above exist to solve the svc_bad problem and to replace the cstrike native (someone should propose a patch to rewrite the native so it will easier for all). It uses the CS way.
I don't have looked really at your code, so my point is : what is really the difference between the existing API/plugin and yours ?

You mean VALVe patched CS to prevent svc_bad? :lol: Well I did my testing back in 2008, on a 32 slots server which was constantly full, and changing all player models instantly after round start would give svc_bad kicks like 90% of the time. Also, this only happened online, testing locally with bots wouldn't cause any kicks.

Code is pretty much the same as Connor's, except for the delays to change models.

Using the cs_set_user_model native, right ? If you don't use that, you don't need delay.

No, it was using the SetClientKeyValue block method and set_user_info() to change models.

Re: [CS] Player Models API 1.1

wonderful work, thanks for that.

Still, can you tell me how forcing an update at roundstart when you hook already SetClientKeyValue is useful ?
