Description
- Hooks game's internal function to block entity input "Kill" and "KillHierarchy" from being in effect on human players. Theoretically, all plugin inputs or vscript inputs should be blocked.

Requirements
- DHooks.

Notice
- Inputkill problem is heard to occur on few circumstances.

1. In c2m5, when stage setup completed, players that is outside the stadium will be 'killed'.
2. In c6m3, playing on a modded server where it hold up to 8+ players will possibly be 'killed'.
3. Intentionally being 'killed' by some plugins or vscript when they accept input 'kill' on a player.

- Haven't tested myself since this problem is rarely and randomly seen, any report is welcome.

On my Windows server, getting a crash from this plugin every time I try to start a server at the point the map is loaded and firing inputs to entities.
Though I have a large amount of plugins, so it might just be me.

Any error log or stack trace from accelerator?

It is possibly not caused by this plugin.
I have checked the dump, The stack trace has not even called CBaseEntity::InputKill:

Right here, not so long then crashed.

And it tells me that this input was called from plugin amb.smx by the following codes:

PHP Code:

public void OnEntityCreated(int ent, const char[] clsName) {
    Echo(2, "OnEntityCreated: %d %s", ent, clsName);

    if (clsName[0] == 'f') {
        bool gClip = !StrEqual(clsName, "func_playerghostinfected_clip", false);
        bool iClip = !StrEqual(clsName, "func_playerinfected_clip", false);

        if (!(gClip && iClip)) {
            CreateTimer(2.0, KillEntTimer, EntIndexToEntRef(ent));
        }
    }

    else if (clsName[0] == 's' && StrEqual(clsName, "survivor_bot")) {
        SDKHook(ent, SDKHook_SpawnPost, AutoModel);
    }
}

public Action KillEntTimer(Handle timer, any ref) {
    Echo(2, "KillEntTimer: %d", ref);

    int ent = EntRefToEntIndex(ref);
    if (ent != INVALID_ENT_REFERENCE || IsEntityValid(ent)) {
        AcceptEntityInput(ent, "kill");
    }

    return Plugin_Stop;
} 


Honestly I am not entirely sure about killing an entity when they have created, because at this time the entity has not spawn. Even it has a timer to delay to kill it.
I also installed these two plugins on my server and everything is fine (Linux). This crash could be possibly caused by amb itself or any other plugin, or just windows itself. The reason is not clear.

My suggestion is: the problem of this plugin to solve is very rare and should not be able to happen in common gameplays. If remove this plugin will stop the crash, then just remove it.
