Could someone help me in getting and setting the player class id for the game Fortress Forever?

stock int GetPlayerClass(int client)
{
    if(!IsPlayer(client))
        return 0;
    
    if (GetEngineVersion() == Engine_DarkMessiah)
        return GetEntProp(client, Prop_Send, "m_iPlayerClass");
    
    return GetEntProp(client, Prop_Send, "m_iClass");
}

stock int SetPlayerClass(int client, int class, bool persistant=false)
{
    if(!IsPlayer(client))
        return 0;
    
    if (GetEngineVersion() == Engine_DarkMessiah)
        SetEntProp(client, Prop_Send, "m_iPlayerClass", class);
    else
        SetEntProp(client, Prop_Send, "m_iClass", class);
    
    if(persistent)
        SetEntProp(client, Prop_Send, "m_iDesiredPlayerClass", class);
    
    return 1;
}

I tried to print the player class when typing console command classname but it throwed an error so I guess that something might be wrong on the stock maybe?
I got the netprops and it seems that FF indded contains the m_iClass prop.

Thanks !

The error I'm getting : L 11/26/2017 - 12:53:50: [SM] Exception reported: Property "m_iClass" not found (entity 1/player)

I can conrifm that the property m_iClass exists on FF.

You will want to use "m_iClassStatus". But that won't work to set the class, so read all to the end.

GetClassSlot

PHP Code:

GetClassSlot(iClient)
{
    return (GetEntProp(iClient, Prop_Send, "m_iClassStatus") & 0x0000000F);
} 


SetClassForClient

PHP Code:

SetClassForClient(iClient, iSlot)
{
    SetEntProp(iClient, Prop_Send, "m_iClassStatus", iSlot & 0x0000000F);
} 


However, because "m_iNextClass" is not changed the server will put you back to your original class. The variable "m_iNextClass" is what ultimately decides what class you will be when you respawn. The problem is "m_iNextClass" is not accessible through netprops or datamaps. The easiest solution in your case would be to simply force the player to call the "ChangeClass" function. We do this by force using the "class" console command.

Here is a simple plugin I whipped up so you can see how to change a client's class in Fortress-Forever.

PHP Code:

#include <sourcemod>
#include <sdktools_functions>

#pragma semicolon 1

new const String:PLUGIN_NAME[] = "Testing";
new const String:PLUGIN_VERSION[] = "1.0";

new const String:g_szClasses[][] =
{
    "none",
    "scout",
    "sniper",
    "soldier",
    "demoman",
    "medic",

    "pyro",
    "spy",
    "engineer",
    "civilian"
};


public OnPluginStart()
{
    RegConsoleCmd("sm_class", OnClass);
}

public Action:OnClass(iClient, iArgs)
{
    if(!iClient)
        return;
    
    if(!iArgs)
    {
        ReplyToCommand(iClient, "Enter a class number 1-10.");
        return;
    }
    
    decl String:szClass[3];
    GetCmdArg(1, szClass, sizeof(szClass));
    
    new iClass = StringToInt(szClass);
    if(iClass < 1 || iClass > 10)
    {
        ReplyToCommand(iClient, "Enter a class number 1-10.");
        return;
    }
    
    ReplyToCommand(iClient, "Current class: %s. New class: %s", g_szClasses[GetClassSlot(iClient)], g_szClasses[iClass]);
    ForceChangeClass(iClient, iClass);
}

GetClassSlot(iClient)
{
    return (GetEntProp(iClient, Prop_Send, "m_iClassStatus") & 0x0000000F);
}

// It would be nice if we could simply use SetClassForClient, but we must use ForceChangeClass instead.
// This is here just for an example.
stock SetClassForClient(iClient, iSlot)
{
    SetEntProp(iClient, Prop_Send, "m_iClassStatus", iSlot & 0x0000000F);
}

ForceChangeClass(iClient, iClass)
{
    // Make sure the team's class limits don't override the class we are trying to force to.
    decl iOriginalClassLimit;
    new iTeamManager = GetTeamManager(GetEntProp(iClient, Prop_Data, "m_iTeamNum"));
    if(iTeamManager)
    {
        iOriginalClassLimit = GetEntProp(iTeamManager, Prop_Send, "m_iClasses", _, iClass);
        SetEntProp(iTeamManager, Prop_Send, "m_iClasses", 99, _, iClass);
    }
    
    // Force the client to change their class and instantly respawn them on the next frame.
    FakeClientCommand(iClient, "class %s", g_szClasses[iClass]);
    
    // Put the team's class limits back to normal.
    if(iTeamManager)
        SetEntProp(iTeamManager, Prop_Send, "m_iClasses", iOriginalClassLimit, _, iClass);
}

GetTeamManager(iTeam)
{
    static iTeamManagers[6], bool:bHasManagers;
    
    if(iTeam >= sizeof(iTeamManagers))
        return 0;
    
    if(!bHasManagers)
    {
        decl iTeamNum;
        new iEnt = -1;
        while((iEnt = FindEntityByClassname(iEnt, "ff_team_manager")) != -1)
        {
            iTeamNum = GetEntProp(iEnt, Prop_Send, "m_iTeamNum");
            if(iTeamNum >= sizeof(iTeamManagers))
                continue;
            
            iTeamManagers[iTeamNum] = iEnt;
        }
        
        bHasManagers = true;
    }
    
    return iTeamManagers[iTeam];
}

Unfortunately, it still doesn't change my class, but now there are no errors.
I also tested the GetClassSlot and that seems to work fine.

When trying to spawn as a civilian, it says

#FF_ERROR_NOLONGERAVAILABLE.

What map was that on? Try removing RequestFrame() and putting DispatchSpawn() in its place.

Also change this line:

PHP Code:

SetEntProp(iTeamManager, Prop_Send, "m_iClasses", 0, _, i); 


To this:

PHP Code:

SetEntProp(iTeamManager, Prop_Send, "m_iClasses", 99, _, i);

Also instead of doing "GetEngineVersion()" within your stock you can just save it in a static variable or use HasEntProp()

I went ahead and updated the ForceChangeClass function in my example plugin above. Although I would still like to know which map was giving you that message in console.

It was ff_monkey.
