Alright, so I'm trying to create some custom targeting filters that target based on the client using the command. For example, "sm_resize @10m .5" or whathaveyou should resize all players within 10 meters of me to half of normal size.

There are three built in filters that do this (@me, @!me, @aim), so I'm guessing that this is possible. I just can't figure it out.

tl;dr, help me create a multitargetfilter that "knows" what client ran the command

PHP Code:

public OnPluginStart()
{
    //other stuff

    AddMultiTargetFilter("@example", t_filter, "example filter", false);

    //other stuff
}

public OnPluginEnd()
{
    //other stuff

    RemoveMultiTargetFilter("@example", t_filter);

    //other stuff
}

public bool:t_filter(const String:pattern[], Handle:clients) {
    new client = //put the client who used the command here
    
    //other stuff that uses "client"
}

It's possible for @me, @!me, and @aim to do it because they're part of ProcessTargetString and aren't a MultiTargetFilter callback.

Okay. I'll have to do my other idea then: to create a variable that holds the client index of the last player to run a command (through OnClientCommand()), and then have the callback reference that variable. I'm fairly certain that OnClientCommand would be called before the actual command's code would be executed. I'm just wondering if this is done consistently.

EDIT: okay, yeah, using OnClientCommand() to store the index of the player should work perfectly

PHP Code:

new OCCclient;

public OnPluginStart()
{
    AddMultiTargetFilter("@example", t_filter, "example filter", false);
}

public OnPluginEnd()
{
    RemoveMultiTargetFilter("@example", t_filter);
}

public Action:OnClientCommand(client, args) {
    OCCclient = client;
}

public bool:t_filter(const String:pattern[], Handle:clients) {
    new client = OCCclient;
    
    //other stuff that uses "client"
    //depending on this code, checking if client == 0 may be necessary
}

Cool, ill add this to my super targeting plugin!
