Hi, i tried to convert this SM extension into amxx module but my cpp skill are not so good. I just copy and paste a fun module as basis.

At this moment module compiled and can be run on windows server, but this chatter bot make hlds micro stutter about 0.2~0.3 second each time bot do reply function.

PHP Code:


		
			
    /*

     *        Loop for the specified waiting period, generating and evaluating

     *        replies

     */

    max_surprise=(float)-1.0;

    count=0;

    basetime=time(NULL);

/*     progress("Generating reply", 0, 1);  */

    do {

    replywords=reply(model, keywords);

    surprise=evaluate_reply(model, keywords, replywords);

    ++count;

    if((surprise>max_surprise)&&(dissimilar(words, replywords)==TRUE)) {

        max_surprise=surprise;

        output=make_output(replywords);

    }

/*      progress(NULL, (time(NULL)-basetime),timeout); */

    } while((time(NULL)-basetime)<timeout);

"Loop for the specified waiting period"

That's the issue. It seems it forces the loop to run until 1 second elapsed to simulated a waiting time?
You can't do that in HLDS, it's single-threaded, it's going to block everything else.
Remove the do/while, and if you need the waiting, use a task system.

I see, thanks for your help, i've removed this do/while and it works.
