ACT_* ANIMATION VALUES
Maybe you should take this to a separate optionally connected #include? The way it is done now makes it difficult to browse the available natives and forwards and, in my opinion, is of no importance.

Also, I do not quite understand the purpose of the Animation Activities file, which is in the data folder. I didn't see that it was used in the code in any way, except for parsing on plugin start.

Hey man, thank you. Yeah, I have already installed it and using it, but I find it a little bit confusing.

(OFFTOPIC)

Code:

// Admin Commands (ADMFLAG_KICK):
sm_forcepass <#userid|name> // Force to pass the Tank to target player.
sm_taketank <#userid|name> // Take control of the Tank AI.

1. Is it possible to make the plugin act just like it is with "Tank Swap" plugin without the hustle of adding "#userid|name" to the command? With "Tank Swap", if you are an admin, just "sm_taketank" is enough, and "sm_taketank" was bind to a hotkey on my keyboard, I want to have the same functionality with this new plugin, but not sure how.

2. Also I do not get the formatting for "#userid|name"? "userid" here is Steam ID and "name" is current Steam name?

3. What are the differences between "sm_forcepass" and "sm_taketank"? The latter is for when the tank is controlled by AI, and the former is when it is controlled either by AI or non-admin player?

(END OF OFFTOPIC)

Sorry and thanks in advance

Yeah I'll do this for next update. The main include will include the animation include so no extra <include> required.

UserID as in typing status in console and seeing the persons UserID (not Steam ID). Name as appears in game. You can do "sm_forcepass @me" to target yourself only.

Ah, thanks a lot, this is exactly what I was looking for! Cheers!

silver, I have some problems in l4d1.
Basically, I try to use Plugin_Handled to block m2 deadstop on hunter.

PHP Code:


			
// Called for every single shovable and even some of the unshovable entities in the game
forward Action L4D2_OnEntityShoved(int client, int entity, int weapon, float vecDir[3], bool bIsHighPounce);

In l4d1 windows and linux, Plugin_Handled is working but sometimes not.
When hunter is about to pounce and land straight on your head (see picture below), hunter can get deadstopped.

PHP Code:


			
// L4D2 only uses this on Special Infected. Blocks hunter dead stop
forward Action L4D_OnShovedBySurvivor(int client, int victim, const float vecDir[3]);

In l4d1 windows and linux, Plugin_Handled is not working.
Hunter doesn't play stun animation, but hunter can't move and get stuck for few seconds.

this is part of my code

PHP Code:


			
HookEvent("player_shoved", Event_PlayerShoved);
public void Event_PlayerShoved(Event event, const char[] name, bool dontBroadcast)
{
    int attacker = GetClientOfUserId(GetEventInt(event, "attacker"));
    int victim = GetClientOfUserId(GetEventInt(event, "userid"));
     if (!IsSurvivor(attacker) || !IsHunter(victim) ) return;

     PrintToChatAll("\x01%N Invoked \"Event_PlayerShoved\x01 on \x03%N\x01", attacker, victim);
}

public Action L4D_OnShovedBySurvivor(int shover, int shovee, const float vecDir[3])
{

    if (!IsSurvivor(shover) || !IsHunter(shovee) ) return Plugin_Continue;

    PrintToChatAll("\x01%N Invoked \"L4D_OnShovedBySurvivor\x01 on \x03%N\x01", shover, shovee);

    return Plugin_Handled;
}

public Action L4D2_OnEntityShoved(int client, int entity, int weapon, float vecDir[3], bool bIsHighPounce)
{
     if (!IsSurvivor(client) || !IsHunter(entity))
         return Plugin_Continue;

     PrintToChatAll("\x01%N Invoked \"L4D2_OnEntityShoved\x01 on \x03%N\x01, bIsHighPounce: %d", client, entity, bIsHighPounce);
 
     return Plugin_Handled;
}

// check if client is on survivor team
bool IsSurvivor(int client)
{
    return (client > 0 && client <= MaxClients && IsClientInGame(client) && GetClientTeam(client) == 2);
}

// check if client is on infected team
bool IsInfected(int client)
{
    return (client > 0 && client <= MaxClients && IsClientInGame(client) && GetClientTeam(client) == 3);
}

Hi silvers, Harry informed me of 2 forward issues which is related to clone functions on Linux L4D1:

Code:

L4D_OnShovedBySurvivor
L4D2_OnStagger

I tried to make a solution of L4D_OnShovedBySurvivor like before, and it seems working.
Note that L4D2_OnStagger isn't tested.
Here is the gamedata, might be helpful to you.

Detour setups:

Code:

            "OnStaggered_clone"
            {
                "signature"        "OnStaggered_clone"
                "callconv"        "cdecl"
                "return"        "void"
                "this"            "ignore"
                "arguments"
                {
                    "a1"
                    {
                        "type"    "cbaseentity"
                        "register" "eax"
                    }
                    "a2"
                    {
                        "type"    "cbaseentity"
                        "register" "edx"
                    }
                    "a3"
                    {
                        "type"    "vectorptr"
                    }
                }
            }

            "OnShovedBySurvivor_clone"
            {
                "signature"        "OnShovedBySurvivor_clone"
                "callconv"        "cdecl"
                "return"        "int"
                "this"            "ignore"
                "arguments"
                {
                    "a1"
                    {
                        "type"    "cbaseentity"
                        "register" "eax"
                    }
                    "a2"
                    {
                        "type"    "cbaseentity"
                        "register" "edx"
                    }
                    "a3"
                    {
                        "type"    "vectorptr"
                    }
                }
            }

Signatures:

PHP Code:


			
            /*

             * CTerrorPlayer::OnStaggered(CBaseEntity *, Vector const) [clone]

             */

            "OnStaggered_clone"

            {

                "library"    "server"

                "linux"        "@_ZN13CTerrorPlayer11OnStaggeredEP11CBaseEntityPK6Vector.part.711"

            }

            

            /*

             * CTerrorPlayer::OnShovedBySurvivor(CTerrorPlayer*, Vector const&) [clone]

             */

            "OnShovedBySurvivor_clone"

                "linux"     "@_ZN13CTerrorPlayer18OnShovedBySurvivorEPS_RK6Vector.part.822.constprop.1107"

            }

Btw learned from Dragokas, the signature TryOfferingTankBot_Clone can be replaced with symbol one:

PHP Code:


			
            /*

             * CDirector::TryOfferingTankBot(void) [clone]

             * unique string "Tank offer: Starting the lottery\n"

             * Only using this for Linux.

             */

            "TryOfferingTankBot_Clone"

            {

                "library"    "server"

                "linux"        "@_ZN8Director18TryOfferingTankBotEP11CBaseEntityb.part.203"

            }

Can you add new target filters?

@deads - target dead survivors (all survivors, including bots)
@deadis - target dead infected special (all infected special, including bots)
@deadsp - target dead survivors players (no bots)
@deadisp - target dead survivors players (no bots)
@deadsb - target survivors bots (no players)
@deadisb - target infected special bots (no players)

@sp - target survivors players (no bots)
@isp - target infected special players (no bots)

The problem with these targets is that they don't start with @r (which implies that they would be random targets).
Example:
@risb // Random Incapped Survivor Bot

Also missing their corresponding versions of those target filters to select all the targets within that target filter.
Example:
@isb // Incapped Survivor Only Bots
@isp // Incapped Survivor Only Players
