hi guys, here i decide to learn scripting in amxx, i am REALLY new on this

i try to create a lightmap plugin, something like this http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=32508

is a easy plugin (but not for me haha)

i can write only this without see the code of the amx_lights plugin... =(

PHP Code:

/* Script generated by Pawn Studio */

#include <amxmodx>
#include <amxmisc>

#define PLUGIN    "light map"
#define AUTHOR    "Alucard"
#define VERSION    "1.0"

#define    FCVAR_SERVER

public plugin_init()
{
    register_plugin(PLUGIN, VERSION, AUTHOR)
    register_concmd("nv_lightmap", "set_lights", ADMIN_SLAY, "<a-z> ")
}

public set_lights(id, level, cid)
{
       if (!cmd_access(id, level, cid, 2))
           return PLUGIN_HANDLED
    
    return PLUGIN_HANDLED    
} 


yea i know, this is only a part of the plugin, but, THIS PART.. is correct? , if is not, why not?

and, what i need to finish the plugin...

thx

pd: sry for my bad english

Yup. That's correct.

PHP Code:

/* Script generated by Pawn Studio */

#include <amxmodx>
#include <amxmisc>
#include <fakemeta>

#define PLUGIN    "light map"
#define AUTHOR    "Alucard"
#define VERSION    "1.0"

#define fm_set_lights(%1) engfunc(EngFunc_LightStyle, 0, "%1")

public plugin_init()
{
    register_plugin(PLUGIN, VERSION, AUTHOR)
    register_concmd("nv_lightmap", "set_lights", ADMIN_SLAY, "<a-z> ")
}

public set_lights(id, level, cid)
{
    if (!cmd_access(id, level, cid, 2))
        return PLUGIN_HANDLED

    new style[4]
    read_argv(1, style, 3)

    fm_set_lights(style)
    
    return PLUGIN_HANDLED    
}

oh, really thx v3x,

i dont understand 2 parts of this code:

1 - can u explain me what happen in this part? i think this is to put the default set_lights? or something like this?

PHP Code:

#define fm_set_lights(%1) engfunc(EngFunc_LightStyle, 0, "%1") 


2- i have mistakes on this... yea, u crate a "new style", but, why the string are [4]? why not 5? what mean this strings and what mean style (style of what? of light?)?

PHP Code:

    new style[4]
    read_argv(1, style, 3)

    fm_set_lights(style) 


thx a lot of v3x

[v3x]

1. Nobody uses Engine anymore. It's all about FakeMeta, baby
2. You can make it as long as you want. That was just an example. Oh and yes, it's the style of the light.

1. aa ok , but i did search with fm_set_lights and i didnt find nothing, i think becouse use the some function but with fm_ , right?
and.. what u recommend me to learn more about fakemeta?

2. yeah, now i understand the code of this, but that i dont understand are the styles, what styles of lights? becouse, i think when u call set_lights, this function have A to Z (a-z) , or u have to create this? (that in this case are the "styles")

thx

PD: oh, other question, the "style" is an example too? or is a some function or something like this?

edit: oh, here i have some help to learn fakemeta http://www.amxmodx.org/funcwiki.php?go=module&id=16
but if u have another good link, great too =p

I got one question, this has been asked here

engfunc(EngFunc_LightStyle, <thisthing>, flags)

What does "<thisthing>" do ?

[Alucard^]

with this:

PHP Code:

/* Script generated by Pawn Studio */

#include <amxmodx>
#include <amxmisc>
#include <fakemeta>

#define PLUGIN    "light map"
#define AUTHOR    "Alucard"
#define VERSION    "1.0"

#define fm_set_lights(%1) engfunc(EngFunc_LightStyle, 0, "%1")

public plugin_init()
{
    register_plugin(PLUGIN, VERSION, AUTHOR)
    register_concmd("nv_lightmap", "set_lights", ADMIN_SLAY, "<a-z> ")
}

public set_lights(id, level, cid)
{
    if (!cmd_access(id, level, cid, 2))
        return PLUGIN_HANDLED

    new style[4]
    read_argv(1, style, 3)

    fm_set_lights(style)
    
    return PLUGIN_HANDLED    
} 


if i put nv_lightmap 0 for example, the map get light, and if i put nv_lightmap 10, or something like this, not change nothing... and i try to put A-Z but, nothing, i cant put off the lightsmap, and i cant change the value...

what is the code to do that?

[v3x]

Add a debug message. After fm_set_lights(style) put this:

PHP Code:

client_print(id, print_chat, "Lights style: %s", style); 


Let me know what it says, if anything.

[Alucard^]

sry, i am back ...

@ v3x

when i put for example, nv_lightmap a

i get this:

Lights style: a

when i put z:

Lights style: z

etc..

but, a, or b, or c, d, e, f, ......... dont change the light of the map... and i cant put off...
