Hi.
I'm trying to create a plugin which allows somebody to instantly restart a round in L4D1 and L4D2.
By restarting the round, I mean what happens at the end of Versus rounds, or when you lose during a Co-op game.
I can't seem to find an easy way to do this in L4D1, though.

Spoiler

I know L4D2 has the "scenario_end" command, but that doesn't exist in L4D1, and mp_restartgame doesn't work in Co-op, plus mp_restartgame would restart the entire campaign.

I did find this in Left 4 DHooks:

L4D_RestartScenarioFromVote();

But I can't figure out a way to get the current map name for that.


I honestly thought this would be incredibly simple compared to the other things that I've tried to do, but I guess not.

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
TotalChaos.

I keep getting this error "error 022: must be lvalue (non-constant)", and other errors depending on what I do to the code.


I lost so many hours trying that method...and I can't even set it up properly because I couldn't find any examples for it and the L4DHooks thing.
So there's a really good chance that I didn't set it up properly.

Left 4 DHooks:
native int L4D_RestartScenarioFromVote(const char[] map);

Part of my code:
const char map = 'A'; - Removing "const" presents a slew of new errors.

char map1[64]; - I've also tried "decl String:map1[64]", which also presents a slew of new errors.
map = GetCurrentMap(map1, sizeof(map1));

L4D_RestartScenarioFromVote(map);

normally it's not necessary to check the return value of GetCurrentMap.
it just should be

char map1[64];
GetCurrentMap(map1, sizeof(map1));
L4D_RestartScenarioFromVote(map1);

Thank you so much little_froy... This worked perfectly...

I was actually working on a plugin that fixed a long-standing bug in L4D1 and L4D2 where L4D1's game over music gets cut off before playing out fully. And I got stuck trying to restart the round.
This was the final piece of the puzzle.

But, the plugin is still incomplete. It is heavily bloated with extra and unneeded code (including comments).
Not only that, but it was built off of this plugin: https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=1342820
"[L4D, L4D2] No Death Check Until Dead" by "chinagreenelvis"

I really want to release this fix to the public, but considering it was built on top of somebody else's plugin, I'm not sure how I can do that.

Wait, does anybody even care about the game over music being cut off in L4D1/L4D2?
I'm serious.
