[REQ] Help learning to make plugins.

captaindeterprimary · **Author**

I just want to learn how to make plugins I have tried and failed... hard. So I have come here to request some tips and pointers, you know like you do when you need it. So any help would be great.

Is it possible to get this moved to the correct thread dir, I derped and did not look where I was or was going. Sorry, noob mistake.

It's better to learn it first and control it then it's easier to do plugins.

Well it was a basic mix between ResizePlayers and flaming's GiveWeapon. Basicly what I aimed to do was resize the weapons only.
I am at work right now but when I get home I will fire up my backup NAS and see if I still have the .sp's.

Edit: Sorry I was processing a loan at the time and did not read you comment completely, my plugin was to attach a custom effect to players, so I drew some from Noodleboy's donor plugin (or what little code of it I could find), and the some of Flaming's Model Manger. The plugin would show the models in list but it would not equip/alot 1) Model, 2) Effect 3) allow player to stay in server

What? Is this Naruto?
I know its easier to learn then try, then try fail and give in, at the time I was working with some friends of mine that know some about plugin coding.

Since you're asking about SourceMod Plugins and not AMXX plugins... you might want to start with the Introduction to SourcePawn and Introduction to SourceMod Plugins wiki pages.

Or are you trying to port these to a GoldSrc game?

No I did not know about SourcePawn. Thanks, I will take a look at lunch.

Thanks for the move.

BTW I took a look at SourcePawn wiki... read it and my brain went to mush. How ever the SourceMod Intro was seems simple enough... I guess I figured most of the stuff like that out just playing with other's plugins. In truth I have not attempted to make a new one in about 3 months. I may try my hand at it and post it latter. If that's okay

I didn't move it, but I did flag it suggesting that it be moved.

If you have any problems or questions (or even want someone else to take a look at the code), the SourceMod Scripting board is a good place to post about it. Just make sure you use [code] or [php] tags when posting code (if you don't just attach the .sp file itself).
