hello everybody,

I am new to scripting for sourcemod and for my first script i would like to make a plugin where somebody can type !explodeme in chat or something like that or !burnme and it play an effect and sound at the player location but not harm them. My problem is i don't know what functions i would need to use for this,

Does anybody have any example scripts or the functions and syntax i would have to use?

Thanks

The function you want for the sound is EmitAmbientSound.

If I'm right, you'll also need GetClientAbsOrigin to get the players location to pass as the second argument to EmitAmbientSound.

So, something like this:

PHP Code:

new Float:origin[3] = GetClientAbsOrigin(client);
EmitAmbientSound("path/to/sound", origin, GetClientUserId(client)); 


Note: As I recall, a client's UserId is an entity ID, but if I'm wrong, the previous line will cause an error.

Likely you'll need a tempent for the effect, but sadly I know nothing about them.

Thanks alot Powerlord, This is realy usefull for me, Also if anybody can help with playing an effect at the Client vector created by GetClientAbsOrigin it would be gratefully appreciated

Lol. No. Entity number = Client number.

And GetClientAbsOrigin doesn't work that way. Nothing does. (You can't return arrays)

PHP Code:

new Float:Origin[3];
GetClientAbsOrigin(client, Origin);
EmitAmbientSound("path", Origin, client /* Default (SOUND_FROM_WORLD) would work here too*/); 


And directed more towards OP: Take a look at the commands you're talking about's actual code. You'll see the damage they do is often induced by the commands themselves. (Except for ignite, though).
