[comp_noob]

it's my pleasure to help you, as i'm not only helping myself, i will also be helping all the other alien swarm plugin producers out there will be reporting any bugs i find again soon.

EDIT: it's good, Swarm_GetMarine(client), Swarm_GetClientOfMarine(marine), Swarm_GetMarineResFromCommander(client) & Swarm_GetMarineResOfMarine(marine) are working as expected. will be testing out the other commands... by the way, what is the resouce entity index for? and also, is OnGameFrame working for alien swarm? =S i can't get it to work...
will continue the testing tmr, needa catch some sleep first...

[comp_noob]

i created a list of weapon classname for alien swarm, might be useful for future plugins writers.. here it is, psychonic, if u can add it to the sourcemod wiki, it will be best..

next i will be finding out the names of the 3rd equipped slot items as well... but psychonic, do you know the netprop that controls the number of clips a weapon has? i found out that m_iClip1 controls the current amount of ammo, m_iClip2 controls the amount of secondary ammo.. but i didn't seem to be able to find out what controls the number of clips ... and something else, the game keeps logging m_iClip1 changed when i tried changing the ammo... like this:

PHP Code:

is there anyway to stop the game from logging these?

EDIT2: error 1: when i tried to add Swarm_GetMarineWeaponSlot(marine, weaponslot),

PHP Code:

// C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\alien swarm\swarm\addons\sourcemod\scripting\include\swarmtools.inc(90) : error 017: undefined symbol "weaponOffset"
//
// 1 Error. 


EDIT3: ok, i found out what's causing the error, u missed out a s from the name, it should be "weaponsOffset" instead... after i changed that from the swarmtools.inc, everything is good again..
and, i wan to ask something else, is there an event player_disconnect that we can use? because by using OnClientDisconnect, it is called on every map change, but i want a script to be activated only when a client really disconnected and not just disconnected because of mapchange..

It is used to manage the players' marines and share data with the client. Every marine has a marine resource and this is what the plugin uses to lookup the marine/commander relations.

It should be working. Been a while since I messed with AS, but if it hibernates between games like l4d does, no frames are processed during hibernation.

The nice thing about the wiki is that anyone can edit it ;) You can log in with your forum account.

Originally Posted by comp_noob but psychonic, do you know the netprop that controls the number of clips a weapon has?

Player's ammo amount of that type divided by weapon clip size(?)

Originally Posted by comp_noob the game keeps logging m_iClip1 changed when i tried changing the ammo... is there anyway to stop the game from logging these?

What code are you using to change it?

Thanks, I'll fix that when I'm able to post an update later today.

That is normal. When a mapchange happens (in any Source game), clients are disconnected and told to reconnect. Hooking the "player_disconnect" event should let you know when players are actually choosing to disconnect.

well, i was trying to make a plugin that enables infinite ammo for the marines... but it doesn't work when i'm using OnGameFrame() to edit... here's my current infinite ammo script:

PHP Code:

public Action:OnPlayerRunCmd(i_Client, &i_Buttons, &i_Impulse, Float:f_Velocity[3], Float:f_Angles[3], &i_Weapon)
{
    if (IAMMOPLAYER[i_Client])
    {
        if (i_Buttons & IN_ATTACK)
        {
            decl marineid, weaponentid, clippri, clipsec;
            marineid = Swarm_GetMarine(i_Client);
            weaponentid = GetEntPropEnt(marineid, Prop_Send, "m_hActiveWeapon");
            if (weaponentid != -1)
            {
                clippri = GetEntProp(weaponentid, Prop_Send, "m_iClip1");
                clipsec = GetEntProp(weaponentid, Prop_Send, "m_iClip2");
                if (clippri != -1 && clippri < 250)
                {
                    SetEntProp(weaponentid, Prop_Send, "m_iClip1", 250);
                }
                if (clipsec != -1 && clipsec < 2)
                {
                    SetEntProp(weaponentid, Prop_Send, "m_iClip2", 10);
                }
            }
        }
    }
} 


but, the game keeps logging the changes, making my whole console full of the logs... like this:

PHP Code:

Entity 29 (class 'asw_weapon_rifle') reported ENTITY_CHANGE_NONE but 'm_iClip1' changed. 


ok, i realised that when i changed to OnGameFrame(), it still produces a log of the entity prop change.... anyway to remove that annoying log though? anyways, all the functions in the swarmtools.inc and swarmtools.smx are working, fully working! good job

[psychonic]

Originally Posted by comp_noob anyway to remove that annoying log though?

With SetEntProp, the entity is not marked as changed.

Try this:

// Globals
new clip1offset, clip2offset;

// in OnPluginStart
// lookup the offsets of the clip vars from CBaseCombatWeapon, a class all of the weapons inherit from
clip1offset = FindSendPropInfo("CBaseCombatWeapon", "m_iClip1");
clip2offset = FindSendPropInfo("CBaseCombatWeapon", "m_iClip2");

// to set clip
// SetEntData(entity, offset, any:value, size=4, bool:changeState=false);
// we'll use size=1 since 8 bits==1 bytes
//  -Member: m_iClip1 (offset 1272) (type integer) (bits 8)
//  -Member: m_iClip2 (offset 1276) (type integer) (bits 8)
SetEntData(weapon, clip1offset, amount, 1, true);
SetEntData(weapon, clip2offset, amount, 1, true);

ok, will try it later.. but anyway, on one of your post, u said that you know of a way to make a menu like panel or something, are you able to redo it? because alien swarm is missing the vgui for doing both menus and panels, and without them it's hard to do some stuff... like weapon spawner and such...

EDIT: wow, you really hit the spot! using setentdata really stops the logs! cool~

EDIT 2: another problem again -.- why is ongameframe active event when the game has not started and is in the preparations screen? this happens when i complete a mission and goes on to the next... i understand that all the commands can be entered when in the preparations screen, but, ongameframe is trying to set the clips even when there are no marines created yet, resulting in heavy lag and lots of errors spewing in the console, like these:

PHP Code:

is there any way to prevent ongameframe from processing when the game in preparations stage and no marines are spawned yet?

You'll probably just have to get by with commands for now. I don't currently have time to work on it.

There may be some event you can hook for marines existing and being destroyed; I haven't looked much at the events yet.

Regardless, you should be checking that the return of Swarm_GetMarine isn't -1. Per the docs, "Marine entity index or -1 for none or not found".

On a side note, I have posted the SwarmTools plugin in the New Plugins section and also added even more natives to give marine versions of client-only functions in sdktools, such as slap, slay, eye angles, equip weapon, drop weapon. I also added functions for triggering and curing infestation.

SetEntProp provides extra safety, still using it is good.
Still needs the manual lookups in advance though, in order to avoid resending the entire edict across the network.

Originally Posted by asherkin Still needs the manual lookups in advance though, in order to avoid resending the entire edict across the network.

That's why I just used SetEntData. It saves two native calls (per clip, 4 total per frame in this case) and also saves from SM having to lookup the offset again (direct or from cache).
