Hello to you all. I just started learning how to write a plugin for my server, since I could not seem to find anything that met my needs. It's in its very early stages, and I don't have that much experience with the SourcePawn language, but seeing as it's very similar in structure to C++/Java, I have been not having
too much issue. I'm going to post a link to what I have so far, since it's a little lengthy:

Here's my mental map for what Infractions is supposed to accomplish:
- Allow admins to stack "infractions" on players who break rules (and print a warning message to them in chat)
- Also allow admins to possibly add a "reason" with an infraction, so others know why the player has infractions
- Upon reaching certain amounts of infractions, a defined action is taken against the player, such as kicking or banning
- Possibly, allow infractions to slowly decrease over time
- Hook into certain commands like sm_kick, sm_ban, etc, to increment infractions
- A sm_infractions.cfg file (name subject to change) that is created and populated with players and their SteamIDs or other sources of identification as they have infractions stacked against them
I have some basic functionality in place, namely that the plugin
does hook into the commands I specified in the code, as all it does now is print a message in console that something was "done". I also successfully registered all the cvars I've deemed necessary so far.
However, at this point I seem to be suffering from a combination of writer's block and confusion, and have a few questions that may help guide me:
- How do I process arguments for a command like sm_kick or sm_ban?
- Branching off the previous question, can I process the target of one command and use them as the target for another?
- How do I create a structured file like I described above?
- Are there any features you'd like to see implemented other than the aforementioned?
Thanks all for your wonderful help!
Edit: Apparently, I can't bother to pay attention, and I posted this in the AMX section instead of the Sourcemod section. Disregard, I guess >.< I'm not sure how to delete this post :/
