Hello again! I'm trying to bend the new Flamethrower mechanics to my will and there's something I'm trying to figure out. "CTFFlameManager::InitializePoint(tf_point_t* , int)" Both Flame Manager and tf_point_t are brand new to this update.

I'm trying to work out how to get that tf_point_t*. I've been trying all sorts of ideas from other code in this thread and elsewhere but I can't seem to get any results. I'm more than willing to do the tedious work, but I want to make sure I'm headed in the right direction first.

"DHookAddParam(Handle, HookParamType_Object)" always causes a crash, but if I set the size to "32" it crashes differently. The server doesn't immediately give me a windows "not responding" box, it actually just hangs indefinitely until I close it myself. Any other number causes the same problem as not having a number at all. Is that a clue? Is HookParamType_Object the wrong thing entirely? I just want to get the AddParam correct so I can work out getting the data inside.

Thanks in advance!

HookParamType_ObjectPtr

I tried that as well and it seemed to only have data at 0. It seemed to just be a giant int. Wouldn't it be strange for the object to only contain one value? 4 and higher had nothing at all. Maybe that's just the way it is though. Any thoughts?

What size did you use? try -1

Also make sure you're hooking tf_flame_manager (duh)

[Blunderstab]

Absolutely hooking flame manager. The int it returns is "2009493684". Not using a size or using -1 has the same result. This also goes for every flame manager when you have multiples.

Edit: IntPtr returns "2005468208"

Well it is an object so that return is propably the address. You have to use DHookGetParamObjectPtrVar to access the values inside the object

[Blunderstab]

DHookGetParamObjectPtrVar(hParams, 1, 0, ObjectValueType_Int) is what I'm using.

Oooh, I bet it's because I used false for post... I'll give this a try. Thanks!

Edit: This was 100% my problem.

[Agent Wesker]

Hello

A user reports my plugin does not work properly on his Linux server...

The problem seems to be the value is not received from this:

DHookGetParamObjectPtrString(hParams, 4, 0, ObjectValueType_String, eParam, sizeof(eParam));

(Line 234) https://github.com/AgentWesker/StopM...music_dhook.sp

It should be set to the (string) parameter of an entity input, but comes back null / blank.

I've tested on two Windows servers and it works fine, any suggestions?
