Hello,

I'm working on an extension to my plugin that allows admins to teleport to any info_target, by way of "sm_teleloc adminRoom" if adminRoom was the name of the info_target.

I am rather new to sourcemod coding, and have gotten a knack for it so far. But I'm still clueless with entity controlling commands.

public Action:Command_GotoLoc(client, args)
{
    new index = -1;
    while ((index = FindEntityByClassname(index, "info_target")) != -1)
    {
    }
    return Plugin_Handled;
}

I get that the command in there will cycle through every info_target, i just need to have it check its name against the arg1 value, and if true, teleport (I know how to do the argument checking and teleporting, mainly i need the ability to find a name off of an entity index)

Thanks!

Try this inside your while loop:

decl String:strName[50];
GetEntPropString(index, Prop_Data, "m_iName", strName, sizeof(strName));

if(strcmp(strName, "adminRoom") == 0)
{
     // Do teleport code
     break;
}

Thanks much. the m_iName was alluding me

I'm thinking of a similar situation, only I'm going through func_brushes so as to be able to enable and disable (show and hide) them. Only trouble is, every time I try, the first func_brush it finds, the call terminates abnormally, claiming the "m_iName" property doesn't exist. I suspect this is because not all the func_brushes on the map have names. Is there a way to run through such a list without an abnormal termination in the event you have nameless entities?

xf117: classname != name

Thanks for the tip (at the bottom). That actually worked.
