Simple plugin, if something is wrong let me know.
If something is really wrong please fix it yourself.

sm_mvmround: Returns the current and total waves for the current MvM game.

edit: Added a check to see if you are even playing MvM. If you aren't, plugin does nothing.

// 1. I do not know if there is a better way to do this
// 2. I do not care, this works.

There isn't.

Did you make this for players with HUDs that don't show the wave count, though? Cause I've been in a few games where someone asked what wave it was, and I say, "it's wave/maxwaves, why? Is your HUD broken?" "No, I'm using the minimalist HUD."

I made this for some weird niche case. I have an IRC bot that queries my servers and reports back how many people are in the server, and because we started having a "line" for our MvM, we wanted to know how long we'd have to wait for others to finish the current game, and sometimes they just don't respond if you ask them what wave they are on.

I've actually been wondering if those netprops actually worked, as I've been doing some coding in MapChooser Extended that uses them but it's not done yet... have you tried this and made sure it works?

I've been using this plugin for a long while now, and before I submitted I made sure to double/triple check that it still works.

I haven't done any extensive edge testing though, like trying this on a non MvM server for example.

Good, saves me some time having to set up an MvM server just to test it.

I already figured out how to tell if a server is running MvM... either check the tf_gamemode_mvm cvar or GameRules_GetProp("m_bPlayingMannVsMachine")

Yeah, I could put that into my plugin I guess, but this is the only bit of SourcePawn I've written so it would probably take me a bit to even look up the syntax/proper way to check/abort if untrue.

Not that SourcePawn is moon language or anything - but it's not the most fun I've had coding.

I just assumed you'd do this at the top of Command_MVMRound:

PHP Code:

if (!GameRules_GetProp("m_bPlayingMannVsMachine"))
{
    return Plugin_Handled;
} 


That is, assuming Valve doesn't break that netprop at some point.

Although you could just leave your code alone, it should just display 0/0 on a non-MvM server.

Alright, added the check (and tested on my pvp server) to see if you're playing MvM or not. Thanks P-P-P-Powerlord.
