Arnold was a man with a problem. He was using EventScripts to send messages to players when certain events occurred. To remedy that, I created EventInfo.

EventInfo hooks game events and chat messages to send messages to players. It allows you to send it through a Hint message (Thanks to _pRED ), Chat Message, or a Menu (Technically, a Panel). The complete documentation of how to configure the plugin events are inside the cfg file.

Installation:

• With .rar or .zip
  • Download package, and extract to your mod directory (cstrike, dod, etc)
• With .smx and .cfg
  • Download the .smx by clicking the "Get Plugin" link below, and download the .cfg. Place the .smx in your addons/sourcemod/plugins folder, and the .cfg in your addons/sourcemod/configs folder.

Credit:

• [Arnold], for requesting it, and helping me with how it should work
• _pRED, for the Hint Text stocks. Much <3
• #sourcemod, for correcting my mistakes, big and small, challenging and stupid
• Insomnia, for keeping me from going to sleep. Well, maybe it was the Mountain Dew...

To Do:

• Multiple types for each event
  • I believe I'll just use StrContains for each type, after putting the Key into a string.
• Console commands to add and remove events
• GUI for those console commands
• Hook all commands, not just "say" and "say_team"
• Titles, colors, and spacers for type 2 (Menu/Panel)
  • If anyone has any ideas on how I should go about parsing the Key to determine what to do with that line, don't hesitate to inform me!
• Fix the menu so that you can press any number and it clears the menu

Changelog:

• 1.0.0
  • Initial release.
  • Three types of messages
• 1.1.0
  • Added delaying to send messages x seconds after an event or chat trigger.

Screenshots:

This one's type 0 (Hint Text):


Here is type 1 (Chat Text):


Lastly, here's type 2 (Menu/Panel):

Great work, much appreciated.

I haven't gotten to test it yet, but fabulous plugin! Is it also able to hook the events listed in /cstrike/resource/modevents.res, such as "hostage_killed"?

[theY4Kman]

It is possible to hook every single event that exists, on any mod, at any time.

[API]

I reapproved, no cvar changed?

How do you set the config for chat commands?

Are you still working on the plugin or the upper to-do-list? Would be really great to have at least the "Multiple types for each event" and "Hook all commands, not just "say" and "say_team" features. Menus and the possibility to add events via console aren't that important IMHO. Thanks in advance.

yeah I'd like to know too.

Would this work?

 Example (To display a menu 3 seconds after a player joins):
       "player_chat hello"
     {
       "type" "2"
       "time" "10"
       "delay" "3"   
       "message" "Welcome to %h, %u\n--------------\nHave fun!"      
     }

Can you please modify the plugin, so that for a single event multiple messages can be defined?
The script should choose from a numer of specified message texts randomly.

I wonder if it could be possible to merge this plugin with SaySound for example to play a sound when some event occurs...
