My goal is spawning boomer only in versus, which means players are only allowed to spawn as boomers. I can change the current infected to a boomer when player is in ghost spawning mode, but i dont know when to trigger this. There is no such event for me to hook like "player_enter_ghost_spawning_mode". So how am I going to implement my method? I tried using event ghost_spawn_time and set a timer to execute the change infected class function. But it doesn't work, or in other words, i dont know how to use this event. Please help me to execute my function whenever a player is entering the spawning mode as a ghost.

I know that there are plugins which have similar functions. I was constantly looking for plugins like 3v3 hunter mode or 3v3 chargervs melee mode but i failed. If you have the links to any mode like these two, plz post them to me! Thanks !

Well, Seems like u dont undersstand my question.

These cvars i have already set all to 0 except for boomers, they are for the bots, but the game mode is versus, that means these convars will not restrict the spawning type of a client zombie and i have already tested that things are not that simple. As I said, i just want to trigger my function whenever a player is entering ghost spawning mode(after the countdown of spawn after N seconds) There is a similiar one for respawning(the event name:"respawning"), but what I want is not respawn. Thanks if you can look for such a way for me to trigger the function

They work just fine for all of us, matter of fact they even work in left 4 dead 1, you are not using them correctly, be reminded you need to do the same with the coop versions of those convars. Also, it is not just for bots, it applies for the versus game and all its players.

Again, you do not need a plugin to control what type of infected are allowed, because the plugin that exists and it does exactly the same thing i just posted, it changed the convars for you. Confogl did the same actually, just changed cvars in the plugin.

So, just learn to use your cfgs.

Pretty sure I understand your goal, very clearly and effectively.

PHP Code:

SetConVarInt(FindConVar("z_jockey_limit"),0,true);
SetConVarInt(FindConVar("z_charger_limit"),0,true);
SetConVarInt(FindConVar("z_hunter_limit"),0,true);
SetConVarInt(FindConVar("z_spitter_limit"),0,true);
SetConVarInt(FindConVar("z_smoker_limit"),0,true);
SetConVarInt(FindConVar("z_boomer_limit"),99,true); 


I have already set all convars to maximize boomers, but as I said, these convars are only for BOTS Player, if you are playing as a human player and join infected, you are still able to spawn as a charger, smoker or other infected. I have tested this out and I can still spawn as a charger or hunter. Inform me if I have any mistake in the code, or write a code for me thanks.

Assuming this is all of it, the reason its not working is...
A. Really do not need a plugin for this, just use the cfgs.
B. You forget the Versus variables.
C. 99 Boomers is a bad idea. Use something reasonable.

I tested this on my server, works fine, I can even make a video and show you that versus with boomers or any type of infected in any combination or order works fine.

Those are the wrong convars by the way.

z_versus_boomer_limit
z_versus_charger_limit
z_versus_hunter_limit
z_versus_jockey_limit
z_versus_smoker_limit
z_versus_spitter_limit

Those will do what you want.

Thanks dude, how careless am I. I can still implement it using another way, but your method is the best and easiest way though, I tried to use ghost spawn time event to set up a timer then execute my function:

PHP Code:

HookEvent("ghost_spawn_time",event_ghost_spawn_time,EventHookMode_Post); 


PHP Code:

public event_ghost_spawn_time(Handle:event, const String:name[], bool:dontBroadcast)
{
    
    new client = GetClientOfUserId(GetEventInt(event,"userid"));
    new Float:spawntime = GetEventFloat(event,"spawntime");
    if (IsClientConnected(client) && GetClientTeam(client)==3 )
    {
        CreateTimer(spawntime+1.0,ChangeToBoomer,client); //Delay one second to ensure that player is in ghost mode
    }
} 


PHP Code:

public Action:ChangeToBoomer(Handle:timer, any:client)
{
    if(IsClientConnected(client) && GetClientTeam(client)==3 )
    {
        if(!IsPlayerGhost(client)){PrintToServer("CTB triggered! But client is not a ghost!"); return;}
        new WeaponIndex;
        while ((WeaponIndex = GetPlayerWeaponSlot(client, 0)) != -1)
        {
            RemovePlayerItem(client, WeaponIndex);
            RemoveEdict(WeaponIndex);
        }

        SDKCall(g_hSetClass, client, 2);
        AcceptEntityInput(MakeCompatEntRef(GetEntProp(client, Prop_Send, "m_customAbility")), "Kill");
        SetEntProp(client, Prop_Send, "m_customAbility", GetEntData(SDKCall(g_hCreateAbility, client), g_oAbility));
        SetEntProp(client,Prop_Send,"m_zombieClass",2);
    }

} 


Anyway, Thanks Marcus101RR and JackieChan for telling me the mistake

[super_leaf]

now I have another problem:
This is the server log:

ConVarRef z_hunter_limit doesn't point to an existing ConVar
ConVarRef z_smoker_limit doesn't point to an existing ConVar

If you read this post your problem would have been fixed 5 posts ago:

As for that, are you using l4d1 or l4d2? L4d1 uses Gas and Exploding rather than than boomer/smoker. Or you made a mistake in your code.
