Sorry, but that doesn't work because of the ordering of ProcessUserCmds and when my event function gets called and when m_nButtons is updated.

So let me put it out there.

m_nButtons updated from client
ProcessUserCmds done
Event function in SM called.
Repeat

So thus any changes I make to m_nButtons are ignored, because an update is received from the client.

Perhaps just change the player to their knife or something when they try to plant?

bomb_begindefuse? If the user is not allowed to defuse then
bomb_abortdefuse in events

An event is only a notification.

What if they only have their knife?

Anyhow, it appears that bomb defusing is funky in simply blocking all other things like that. Basically I would force said player to switch but nothing would come of it, the defusing would go on uninterrupted.

I don't know if this has ever been solved, but its possible by poking around in the m_fFlags of the client.

m_flDefuseCountDown of the planted_C4 entity seems to store the point in GameTime, when the player started to defuse. It it is 0 after planting, and it is 0 again if the CT aborts the defusal.
Setting m_flDefuseCountDown of the planted_C4 entity to *doesnt matter what* defuses the bomb instantly. WTF??
m_flDefuseLength is obvious, but changes to it have no effect to the bomb or the defusing process whatsoever.

So it seems we are left with this:

PHP Code:

public bomb_begindefuse(Handle:event, const String:name[], bool:dontBroadcast)
{
    new client = GetClientOfUserId(GetEventInt(event, "userid"));
    if(!May_defuse)
    {
        SetEntProp(client, Prop_Send, "m_fFlags", 8);
        PrintHintText(client, "You are not fulfilling the requirements to defusing");
    }
    else
    {
        SetEntProp(client, Prop_Send, "m_fFlags", 1);
    }
} 


However this introduces a stupid looking and sounding glitch. The defusal is started and stopped until the player let go of the use key.
There doesn't seem to be any other way.

(Setting the Flags to 1 when he may defuse is important, otherwise the player must jump one time before another try will succeed)

Wow, unexpected but nice to see someone is still interested in finding a way to stop the bomb defusing.

I wonder if I can find the plugin I was developing for this.

Meh, maybe I'll have to start from scratch but that's OK. I'll probably include this into the next version of KAC if it works and is agreeable.

You thought of something like this?

PHP Code:

public bomb_planted(Handle:event, const String:name[], bool:dontBroadcast)
{
    BombLocation[0] = 0.0; BombLocation[1] = 0.0; BombLocation[2] = 0.0;
    new bombent = FindEntityByClassname(-1,"planted_c4");
    if (bombent != -1)
        GetEntPropVector(bombent, Prop_Send, "m_vecOrigin", BombLocation);
    if((BombLocation[0]+BombLocation[1]+BombLocation[2]) == 0.0)
        LogError("[C4_defusefix] - Error locating C4!");
}

public bomb_begindefuse(Handle:event, const String:name[], bool:dontBroadcast)
{
    new client = GetClientOfUserId(GetEventInt(event, "userid")), Float:Lookat[3], Float:fDiff[4];
    Trace(client);
    TR_GetEndPosition(Lookat, INVALID_HANDLE);
    for(new I = 0; I < 3;I++)
    {
        if(Lookat[i] > BombLocation[i])
            fDiff[i] = Lookat[i] - BombLocation[i];
        else
            fDiff[i] = BombLocation[i] - Lookat[i];
    }
    fDiff[3] = fDiff[0] + fDiff[1] + fDiff[2];
    if(fDiff[3] > 10.0)
    {
        SetEntProp(client, Prop_Send, "m_fFlags", 8);
        PrintHintText(client, "You must see the C4 to defuse it");
    }
    else
    {
        SetEntProp(client, Prop_Send, "m_fFlags", 1);
    }
} 


I tried to let the trace hit the planted_C4 directly, but for some reason or another, the ray goes through the C4 and always hits the world entity.

[Kigen]

Yup. Basically to fix that. I had all the code written down to detect if the bomb is visible to the player. Just wasn't able to stop the defusing.

I did have a easier way to detect if there was something in the way. I do remember that because it wasn't complex to detect if there was something in the way.

I hoped for an easier way because the problem with the method I posted is, that it only works in a 2D-fashion. If you look at the bomb from the side (given that it is on height of your eyes), the ray will go through and hit the world a mile away. So it only works if you are looking at it top down.
