Hello guys,

I am new here and i am going to design my first plugin,it will not be public,it will be for my own clan.

I want to make a plugin which will work like high ping kicker.Of course it will not do what the high ping kicker does.I just want to open an http connection after a specific interval of time and once when the server will start and will shut down.

Is there any function i can use to open a http connection?

Are there any libs for that?Please suggest so and also guide me about calling a function when a server is started and stopped.

You can use the sockets module for the http request and display data in a MOTD window.

no dude, i am trying to make a plugin which will open http connection to the website server of clan. The url will carry the variables using GET method. Then the script on webserver will update data in the database so that it can be viewable on website.

Thats what i am trying to do

I don't think that MOTD window will be helpful for this.

Ok, then:

What does the http request look like, I will put it together for you.

GET /what_does_this_need_to_be HTTP/1.1
Host: www.google.com

I don't know what you mean by get players but I assume get a list of player names?

Use "/info" in chat to show info.

PHP Code:

#include <amxmodx>
#include <amxmisc>

#define PLUGIN "New Plug-In"
#define VERSION "1.0"
#define AUTHOR "bugsy"

new g_pHostname;
new g_iMaxPlayers;

public plugin_init() 
{
    register_plugin(PLUGIN, VERSION, AUTHOR)
    
    register_clcmd( "say /info" , "ShowInfo" );
    
    g_pHostname = get_cvar_pointer( "hostname" );
    g_iMaxPlayers = get_maxplayers();
}

public ShowInfo( id )
{
    static iPlayers[ 32 ] , iNum , szAllPlayers[ 1024 ] , iLen , szName[ 33 ];
    static szMap[ 16 ];
    static szHostname[ 128 ];
    
    //Read map name into szMap var
    get_mapname( szMap , 15 );
    
    //Read hostname from cvar "hostname"
    get_pcvar_string( g_pHostname , szHostname , 127 );
    
    //Get all players currently connected to server
    get_players( iPlayers , iNum );
    
    //Loop through names retrieved with get_players() and get each players name and add it to one
    //large string variable in "name1, name2, name3" format
    iLen = 0;
    for ( new i = 0 ; i < iNum ; i++ )
    {
        get_user_name( iPlayers[ i ] , szName , 32 );
        iLen += formatex( szAllPlayers[ iLen ] , 1024-iLen , "%s, " , szName );
    }
    szAllPlayers[ iLen-2 ] = 0;
    
    //Display to user
    client_print( id , print_chat , "Server name: %s" , szHostname );
    client_print( id , print_chat , "Map name: %s" , szMap );
    client_print( id , print_chat , "Players [%d/%d]: %s" , iNum , g_iMaxPlayers , szAllPlayers );
}
