Hello !

I need help in a plugin that I'm interested in, I was looking for a plugin displaying an overlay when a client is in the game (all the time).
Then I've found this thread : https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=2335800

And I tried the code of Arkarr to do what I want.
This code :

PHP Code:

#include <sourcemod>
#include <sdktools>

#define PLUGIN_AUTHOR "Arkarr (with ReFlexPoison functions)"
#define PLUGIN_VERSION "0.00"

Handle CVAR_Overlay;
char gPath[75];

public Plugin myinfo = 
{
    name = "[TF2 / CS:S / MORE?] Persistant screen overlay",
    author = PLUGIN_AUTHOR,
    description = "Display a persistant screen overlay !",
    version = PLUGIN_VERSION,
    url = "http://www.sourcemod.net"
};

public void OnPluginStart()
{
    CVAR_Overlay = CreateConVar("sm_pso_overlay_path", "path/relative/to/materials/folder.vtf", "The path to the material file for the overlay.");
}

public void OnConfigsExecuted()
{
    GetConVarString(CVAR_Overlay, gPath, sizeof(gPath));
    PrecacheDecal(gPath, true);    
}

public void OnClientConnected(client)
{
    DisplayScreenOverlay(client, gPath);    
}

stock void DisplayScreenOverlay(int client, const char[] sFile)
{
    int iFlags = GetCommandFlags("r_screenoverlay");
    SetCommandFlags("r_screenoverlay", iFlags &~ FCVAR_CHEAT);

    if(IsClientInGame(client))
        ClientCommand(client, "r_screenoverlay \"%s\"", sFile);

    SetCommandFlags("r_screenoverlay", iFlags);
}

stock void ClearScreenOverlay(int client)
{
    int iFlags = GetCommandFlags("r_screenoverlay");
    SetCommandFlags("r_screenoverlay", iFlags &~ FCVAR_CHEAT);

    if(IsClientInGame(client))
        ClientCommand(client, "r_screenoverlay \"\"");

    SetCommandFlags("r_screenoverlay", iFlags);
} 


It doesn't worked, I've written the cvar in sourcemod.cfg like this :

PHP Code:

sm_pso_overlay_path "materials/overlays/custom/megusta.vtf" 


or like that :

PHP Code:

sm_pso_overlay_path "overlays/custom/megusta.vtf" 


Whatever I tried it doesn't worked
PS : megusta.vtf is downloaded by the clients (with a downloader) and is exactly where it is, I've tried with the plugin "Screen Overlays" and it worked perfectly

Anyone can help? >_<

[Walgrim]

Nobody ? >_<'

[Arkarr]

Uh ? It worked for me, at least, that's what I remember.

EDIT: Oh... I never tested it haha.

[Walgrim]

Well I don't know, can you help me because it didn't work for me ><'
How you do the path of this one? (I tried like everything)

[Arkarr]

Tested and worked !

Exemple of CVAR :
sm_pso_overlay_path "overlays\custom\megusta.vtf"

PHP Code:

#include <sourcemod>
#include <sdktools>

#define PLUGIN_AUTHOR     "Arkarr (with ReFlexPoison functions)"
#define PLUGIN_VERSION     "1.00"

Handle CVAR_Overlay;
char gPath[75];

public Plugin myinfo = 
{
    name = "[TF2 / CS:S / MORE?] Persistant screen overlay",
    author = PLUGIN_AUTHOR,
    description = "Display a persistant screen overlay !",
    version = PLUGIN_VERSION,
    url = "http://www.sourcemod.net"
};

public void OnPluginStart()
{
    CVAR_Overlay = CreateConVar("sm_pso_overlay_path", "path/relative/to/materials/folder.vtf", "The path to the material file for the overlay.");
    HookConVarChange(CVAR_Overlay, OverlayChange);
    
    HookEvent("player_spawn", Event_PlayerSpawn);
}

public void OnMapStart()
{
    PrecacheOverlay();
}

public void OverlayChange(Handle convar, const char[] oldValue, const char[] newValue)
{
    PrecacheOverlay();
}

public void PrecacheOverlay()
{
    GetConVarString(CVAR_Overlay, gPath, sizeof(gPath));
    if(FileExists(gPath))
    {
         AddFileToDownloadsTable(gPath);
         PrecacheDecal(gPath, true);   
    }
}

public void Event_PlayerSpawn(Event event, const char[] name, bool dontBroadcast)
{
    int userID = GetEventInt(event, "userid");
    CreateTimer(1.0, TMR_ScreenOverlay, userID);
}

public Action TMR_ScreenOverlay(Handle tmr, any userID)
{
    int client = GetClientOfUserId(userID);
    
    if(client != -1)
             DisplayScreenOverlay(client, gPath);
}

stock void DisplayScreenOverlay(int client, const char[] sFile)
{
    int iFlags = GetCommandFlags("r_screenoverlay");
    SetCommandFlags("r_screenoverlay", iFlags &~ FCVAR_CHEAT);

    if(IsClientInGame(client))
        ClientCommand(client, "r_screenoverlay \"%s\"", sFile);

    SetCommandFlags("r_screenoverlay", iFlags);
}

stock void ClearScreenOverlay(int client)
{
    int iFlags = GetCommandFlags("r_screenoverlay");
    SetCommandFlags("r_screenoverlay", iFlags &~ FCVAR_CHEAT);

    if(IsClientInGame(client))
        ClientCommand(client, "r_screenoverlay \"\"");

    SetCommandFlags("r_screenoverlay", iFlags);
}

Not tested, you tell me But I think it should, yes.

[Walgrim]

Ok thanks a lot, there's just one last thing, it's just spamming 5 times the path of the vtf on the server like this :
overlays\custom\megusta.vtf
overlays\custom\megusta.vtf
overlays\custom\megusta.vtf
overlays\custom\megusta.vtf
overlays\custom\megusta.vtf

Can you fix it? Or I need to leave something?
EDIT : More than 5 times

[Arkarr]

Fixed my code, I forgot to remove a debug line haha.

[Walgrim]

Thanks a llooooottttt ! +1000 rep ;P
EDIT : Works for animated vtf too ;)
