^^ that will execute the command for 6 rounds.

PHP Code:

public Event_RoundStart(Handle:event, const String:name[], bool:dontBroadcast)
{
    if (++Rounds <= 5)
        ServerCommand("exec my_config.cfg");
}

The game is counter-strike source.

I tried mixing yours and some other code and I got the plugin to compile:

PHP Code:

public Plugin:myinfo = 
{
    name = "Exec cfg/round_start.cfg file every round",
    description = "Execute config file every round start"
}

public OnPluginStart()
{
    HookEvent("round_start", round_start, EventHookMode_PostNoCopy);
}

new Rounds = 0;

public round_start(Handle:event, const String:name[], bool:dontBroadcast)
{
    if (Rounds > 5) return Plugin_Continue;
    {
    Rounds = Rounds + 1;
    }
    if(FileExists("/cfg/round_start.cfg", false))
    {
        ServerCommand("exec hs.cfg");
    }
} 


However, it just runs the hs.cfg 6 times (not 5) straight, then stops. To elaborate, I have a custom vote system setup to as the majority of the server if they want a headshot only round. If the server votes yes, I want my hs.cfg to be ran at the start of the next 5 rounds, then quit until the population votes for it again.

Also if rounds is just an integer, can u explain how the plugin is read. Like how does it know that rounds means actual rounds. If I set it as bananas, then the server still reads bananas as rounds? I just want to understand, Thanks.

Whoops, forgot the =, my bad. Fixed my OP.

we are hooking the ingame event "round_start" which is fired.. wait for it.. once per round ;O
in the callback of that hook we add 1 to a global variable with the name "Rounds".

I just tested this myself to make sure, this will work for you.

PHP Code:

#include <sourcemod>

new Rounds;

public OnPluginStart() HookEvent("round_start", Event_RoundStart);
public OnMapStart() Rounds = 0;
public Event_RoundStart(Handle:event, const String:name[], bool:dontBroadcast) if(++Rounds <= 5) ServerCommand("exec my_config.cfg");

So when the script uses the hook at the start, anything below that line is tied to that hook? Where can I read more about hooks?

And what does "(Handle:event, const String:name[], bool:dontBroadcast)" all that actually mean?

Also thanks everyone for the help, I am really trying hard to understand sourcepawn. I just started scripting in AutoIt, and now I am moving up to SourcePawn.

And thanks Tyler I will try it now.

Oh tyler, so after this script is ran, will it unload itself? Because my voting system works by loading the script each time.

You can read more about sourcepawn here: http://wiki.alliedmods.net/Category:SourceMod_Scripting
(Look at Events, for this case)

HookEvent is a sourcemod function which requires at least the event name(must be exact, look here:http://wiki.alliedmods.net/Game_Events_(Source)) and a callback(which can be named whatever you want)

For example:

PHP Code:

HookEvent("player_death", Iamaneventcallbackname_lololol); 


The plugin will look for the callback named Iamaneventcallbackname_lololol and execute it, regardless of where it is.



The generic event info is the (Handle:event, const String:name[], bool:dontBroadcast).

The Handle:event is the handle that the event is stored into when hooking, so that information can be taken from it if neccesary(For example, if you wanted to get who died in the player_death event)

The name String is just the name of the event for if you want to use it in chat, or logging, etc

The dontBroadcast boolean just keeps the event message from being sent to clients(It won't prevent the event from being fired). Generally only used when creating an event yourself, not from hooked ones.

In this case:

PHP Code:

HookEvent("player_death", Iamaneventcallbackname_lololol);
Iamaneventcallbackname_lololol(Handle:event, const String:name[], bool:dontBroadcast)
{
     //Dostuff
} 


I'll check back later if you have more questions. For now, I really need some sleep X_X

Have fun.

For some reason it is using the servercommand(exec hs.cfg) everytime someone in the server dies. After 5 deaths it stops.

Whoops, I changed it to player_death while I was testing it, just change it back to round_start. Ill go back and fix my post. Sorry, I'm really tired >.<
