How to loop all entities? - Page 2

Tirant · 07-19-2011 , 15:49 Re: How to loop all entities?

It would be helpful to be able to get the highest index though. I wonder about registering FM_Spawn or some fakemeta forward and increasing entities by 1 every call.

I don't think create_entity() calls FM_Spawn forward.

dllfunc( Dllfunc_Spawn, ... ) calls FM_Spawn ?

No. It's like not being able to hook messages from message_begin().

Using this test plugin:

Code:

#include <amxmodx>
#include <engine>
#include <fakemeta>

public plugin_init()
{
    register_plugin( "Spawn Test", "1.0", "Wrecked" )
    
    register_clcmd( "say /make", "CmdMake" )
    
    register_forward( FM_Spawn, "Spawn" )
}

public CmdMake( id )
{
    new ent = create_entity( "info_target" )
    
    client_print( 0, print_chat, "%d", ent )
}

public Spawn( ent )
{
    client_print( 0, print_chat, "%d", ent )
}

It seems create_entity() doesn't call FM_Spawn. However, it also shows that entity ids can fluctuate even when created within a short time period.

Ingame Chat (de_aztec):

Code:

58
Wrecked :  /make

59
Wrecked :  /make

252
Wrecked :  /make

256
Wrecked :  /make

257
Wrecked :  /make

The number only printed once, meaning FM_Spawn wasn't called after create_entity.

Most likely because those entity indexes were being used.

I just toyed around with a bunch of different forwards, and I can't find anything. I could track model change on map entities (like func_wall), but that missed about the first 71 entities. FM_CreateEntity will forward the creation of the worldspawn entity, but that's it. FM_CreateNamedEntity was really weird though. Whenever I would create an entity using fakemeta, it would reforward everything. It also forwarded MANY entities that do not exist in my map. I was thinking it does this to create them in the mod? This was the output... notice how it prints the list twice? The second print is after creating an entity using this code

// edit
I'm now trying to see if I can try and use FM_AllocString. It is giving me all of the entity classnames as they spawn, but I believe it misses the first creation of every entity type because it checks if the entity exists, and I think this is executed before the entity exists.

Code:

dllfunc(DLLFunc_Spawn, engfunc(EngFunc_CreateNamedEntity, "my entity!"));

Tirant · 07-19-2011 , 23:16 Re: How to loop all entities?

Okay, this is what I came up with, and it works for checking the entities at the start of the map. You could probably reduce the task, but there needs to be some kind of delay in order to check if the entity exists. I know how bad this method must look creating soo many tasks, but it works. I tested it on 4 standard maps (office, aztec, dust, dust2) and also a few of my base builder maps which have a huge number of entities.

PHP Code:


			
#include <amxmodx>
#include <fakemeta>
#include <engine>

// Compensate for entity 32 which cannot be tracked
new g_iTotalEntities = 1;

public plugin_precache() {
    register_forward(FM_AllocString, "fw_AllocString");
    register_forward(FM_CreateEntity, "fw_CreateEntity");
}

public plugin_init() {
    register_plugin("FM_CreateEntity Test", "0.0.1", "Tirant");

    set_task(1.0, "delayedCheck");
}

public delayedCheck() {
    new entCount = entity_count();
    
    g_iTotalEntities += get_maxplayers();
    server_print("Entities found: %d; Total counted: %d; %s", g_iTotalEntities, entCount, g_iTotalEntities == entCount ? "SUCCESS!" : "FAILURE!");
    
    if (g_iTotalEntities != entCount) {
        static szEntityName[32];
        for (new i; i < entCount; i++) {
            if (!pev_valid(i)) {
                server_print("Invalid entity (%d)", i);
                continue;
            }
                
            szEntityName[0] = '^0';
            pev(i, pev_classname, szEntityName, 31);
            server_print("Entity Found! %d; ^"%s^"", i, szEntityName);        
        }
    }
}

public fw_AllocString(const string[]) {
    set_task(1.0, "checkExisting", _, string, 31);
}

public checkExisting(string[], id) {
    if (find_ent_by_class(-1, string)) {
        g_iTotalEntities++;
        //server_print("Allocating string: ^"%s^"", string);
    }
}

public fw_CreateEntity(ent) {
    g_iTotalEntities++;
    
    //static szEntityName[32];
    //pev(ent, pev_classname, szEntityName, 31);
    //server_print("Entity Created! %d; ^"%s^"", ent, szEntityName);
}

Instead of looping through all entities each second, I think my method of is more efficient.
