Model Changing in DoD

Zor · **Author**

Hey all. I'm working on a new plugin. This plugin as the topic states is going to change models for admins in DoD. I have been doing some searching and located a cs_set_user_model. And then went into the code and found out how it works. But, no dice. I have tried register_forward(FM_SetModel) and register_event(ResetHUD) and then within each of these checked the model to be models/player.mdl and forced it to be a certain model. Now when I attempt to join and look at myself or other admins It stays the same. No model changes. So I'm posting the basic test code. Can someone give a shout if they see where the problem is.

Thanks, and Cheers!

Code:

register_event("ResetHUD", "handle_model", "b")
public handle_model(id)
{
	if(!is_user_connected(id) || !get_cvar_num("dod_am_enabled"))
		return PLUGIN_CONTINUE
	
	// Get Model
	new mdl[128]
	entity_get_string(id, EV_SZ_model, mdl, 127)
	
	new team = entity_get_int(id, EV_INT_team)
	
	if(contain(mdl, "player.mdl") && team > 0)
	{
		entity_set_string(id, EV_SZ_model, models[team - 1])
	}
	
	new temp[128]
	entity_get_string(id, EV_SZ_model, temp, 127)
	log_amx("entid: %d model: %s", id, temp)
		
	return PLUGIN_CONTINUE
}

Code:

register_forward(FM_SetModel, "handle_model")
public handle_model(id, const mdl[])
{
   if(!is_valid_ent(id) || !get_cvar_num("dod_am_enabled"))
      return FMRES_IGNORED

   new temp[128] 
   new team = entity_get_int(id, EV_INT_team)
   
   if(contain(mdl, "models/player.mdl") && team > 0)
   {
      entity_set_string(id, EV_SZ_model, models[team - 1])
      entity_get_string(id, EV_SZ_model, temp, 127)
      log_amx("entid: %d model: %s", id, temp)

      return FMRES_SUPERCEDE
   }

   entity_get_string(id, EV_SZ_model, temp, 127)
   log_amx("entid: %d model: %s", id, temp)  
    
   return FMRES_IGNORED
}

Code:

/* The actual return value of the function, use these instead of PLUGIN_HANDLED etc when
 * returning from registered forwards.
 */
#define FMRES_HANDLED	2
#define FMRES_SUPERCEDE	4
#define FMRES_IGNORED	1
#define FMRES_OVERRIDE	3

Code:

register_forward(FM_SetModel, "handle_model") 
public handle_model(id, const mdl[]) 
{ 
   if(!is_valid_ent(id) || !get_cvar_num("dod_am_enabled")) 
      return FMRES_IGNORED 
    
   new team = entity_get_int(id, EV_INT_team) 
    
   if(contain(mdl, "models/player.mdl") && team > 0) 
   { 
      entity_set_string(id, EV_SZ_model, models[team - 1]) 
      return FMRES_SUPERCEDE
   } 
    
   new temp[128] 
   entity_get_string(id, EV_SZ_model, temp, 127) 
   log_amx("entid: %d model: %s", id, temp) 
       
   return FMRES_IGNORED
}

@Cheap_Suit

Yeah did that, thanks though. Just that I got rid of the code cause I didn't think it was working. Then when I was doing this thread I used the code above and forgot to change the FM returns.

Cheers!

Might be this...

Code:

containi(mdl, ”models/player.mdl”)

Proper Usage:

Code:

containi(mdl, ”models/player.mdl”) != -1

Nope, that just a redundant statement. I know that it gets that far with my code as at one point in time I have a log_amx command within the if statement.

Thanks, Cheers!

Request a DoD model changing function. In the meantime, you can do what Target suggested:

Its how it works in VexdUM, think CStrike module using pvdata offsets?

I've been trying to do this with tfc without using the tfc module because tfc_setmodel is the only function i use from it.

afaik entity_set_string EV_SZ_model just doesnt work for players

DispatchKeyValue(id,"replacement_model","Aqua fresh"); works in tfc but you have to respawn for it to take effect. How would i make it take effect immediately?

but i think replacement_model is a tfc specific function from item_tfgoal Is there an entity in DOD that allows you to change the playermodel

Thanks for the information. But I do have some questiong. I can understand what T(+)rget wrote. But the implementation is in question. Would I do the following for the ClientUserInfoChanged:

Code:

public client_infochanged(id)
{
     if(model has been changed && this is an admin)
     {
          change model back again
          return PLUGIN_HANDLED
     }
     return PLUGIN_CONTINUE
}

As for the PlayerPostThink, that should be simple:

Code:

public client_PostThink(id)
{
 if(model has been changed && this is an admin)
     {
          change model back again
          return PLUGIN_HANDLED
     }
     return PLUGIN_CONTINUE
}

Now the thing is, will these overide the changes, I dont want to be changing the model a billion times as this will cause lagg at least I would assume. Could you or maybe T(+)rget give me some code to look at. I aint no slacker when it comes to coding. Just never played with this kinda stuff before.

Cheers!

entity_set_model????????????????????

You probably just could do this:

Code:

/* Plugin generated by AMXX-Studio */

#include <amxmodx>
#include <amxmisc>
#include <engine>

#define PLUGIN "Admin Model"
#define VERSION "1.0"
#define AUTHOR "Zor"


public plugin_init() {
    register_plugin("Admin Model", "1.0", "Zor")
}

public plugin_precache()
    precache_model("models/player.mdl")

public client_putinserver(id){
    new entid
    if(is_user_admin(id))
    entity_set_model(entid, "models/player.mdl")
    return PLUGIN_HANDLED
}

Why can't you do this?
