Actually, a dynamic container may benefit you more Valve uses dynamic containers all over the place (see CUtlVector). However, I find that static containers are easier to use in SourcePawn. Were I coding this plugin in c++, I would have used std::vector instead. Dynamic arrays, after optimization, can be fast-- with O(1) pushing back and O(log n) popping back. In SourcePawn however, there seems to be an overhead to it, so I always use static containers unless I really need dynamic ones.

Originally Posted by striker07 an invalid edict id would not be a problem in all these stocks becous all possible entities are cached into the array? it would only retrieve a false result?

Because the entire array is initialized to zero (see the 'new' declaration in Pawn), we can be sure that the entire array at the start of the map is initialized to NO_ACTIVATOR (defined as zero). The stocks would then just return false.

Note that all the additions I have made are untested-- I wrote it on my jailbroken Ubuntu tablet

nice :p.

I do get a problem with making the entity, in both cs:s and cs:go.
for createentitybyname, can't i choose my own classname? do i have to choose one from this list?: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/...#Item_entities

This is my error message in console:

"my_entity"

???

[striker07]

Spoiler

changing that to prop_static, prop_detail doesnt work neighter, same errors and changing it to monster_generic crashes the server.(csgo)

If i place the teleportentity command in the block of a succesful spawn then the next line is replaced in the error log,
it said

[SM] Native "SetEntityModel" reported: NULL not allowed

EDIT:
nvm, after some experimenting this finally shows up: Attempting to precache model, but model name is NULL
my model isnt compiled correctly i think

EDIT 2:

Finally fixed the model now, but now it cant spawn becous the entity id created is wrong so i made an extra check to be sure.

[ajr1234]

Prop_static does not have an associated edict; use prop_dynamic instead.

EDIT: Try...

PHP Code:

CreateSomeEntity(Float:Origin[3]) 
{ 
    new entity = CreateEntityByName("prop_dynamic"); 
 
    ...

    // add before dispatchspawn() function
    DispatchKeyValue(entity, "Solid", "6");
    
    // move the following code to after dispatchspawn()
    TeleportEntity(entity, Origin, NULL_VECTOR, NULL_VECTOR); 
    SetEntityModel(entity, "models/props/perk1c/perk1c.mdl"); 
    SetEntityRenderMode(entity, RENDER_TRANSCOLOR); 
    SetEntityRenderFx(entity, RENDERFX_PULSE_SLOW); 
    SetEntityRenderColor(entity, 31, 191, 36, 160);

   ...
   
   // no need to "return" anything (void)
}

prop_dynamic crashes the server for both css and csgo.
changed the code abit again (removed plugin handled) and added a diffrent model but the game also sais its a bad model:

server still crashes, gonna play around some more today try some new diffrent things

[bl4nk]

Can you give us the newest version of the code you're using?

[striker07]

Sure, i have 2 now, but the BETA one keeps giving me problems at compiling when passing a float array using datapack timer. tryed various methods.

[bl4nk]

For the beta version:

PHP Code:

        WritePackFloat(pac, Origin[0]);
        WritePackFloat(pac, Origin[1]);
        WritePackFloat(pac, Origin[2]);
...
    Origin[0] = ReadPackFloat(pac);
    Origin[1] = ReadPackFloat(pac);
    Origin[2] = ReadPackFloat(pac);

Ok, made a third attempt, again it failed :s. really need some help here.

Just tested the BETA version and now aprox 3.5 seconds after a player died the server crashes but shows these logs now:

but the model isnt being shown correctly or teleported correctly not sure it never gets touched neighter.
Also the visual effects are not visible :s.

Why is the entity id in spawnsucces suddenly not valid anymore, what could cause that?
