Entity Tools
Version 1.1

Requirements:

• Sourcemod 1.0.3
• Hooker Extension

Description:

This plugin allows you to change minor things about a map (namely it's entities) by doing things such as blocking point_servercommand, which stops map console spam or modify datamaps on entities and fire inputs on certain classnames. It comes with a queue system that queues an entity to either have a datamap property changed or fire an input on it. Keep in mind this plugin is for modifying entities only when making a feature request.

Todo: (Strikethrough = Completed)

• Open for suggestions

Commands:

• et_entity mm_entity <datamap/entinput> <entity> <datamap prop/input> <value/set variant> - Change a datamap property or fire an input on a given classname
• et_entity_queue <datamap/entinput> <delay> <entity> <datamap prop/input> <value/set variant>- Starts a delay from the start of the round and then calls et_entity on a classname (cleared on map change)
• et_entity_queue_remove <index> - Removed a queued entity
• et_entity_queue_clear - Removed all queued entities
• et_entity_queue_list - Lists all queue entries, their status, and index

Config:

cfg/sourcemod/entitytools/entitytools.cfg

//
//
// Entity Tools Settings
//
//

//
// Blocking point_servercommand
//

// Block point_servercommand so maps can't execute commands from console (like annoying console text)
et_psc_block "1"

//
// Entity Queuing
//

// et_entity_queue entinput 20 func_breakable Break // Breaks all breaks after 20 seconds from the round starting

// et_entity_queue datamap 5 weapon_m4a1 m_iClip1 1 // sets "clip1" of all m4a1's to have 1 bullet 5 seconds after the round starts
// et_entity_queue datamap 5 weapon_m4a1 m_iClip2 1 // sets "clip2" of all m4a1's to have 1 bullet 5 seconds after the round starts


// et_entity_queue entinput 0 func_bomb_target Kill // Kills bombzones

Installation:

• Extract the contents of the zip file into cstrike
• Navigate to <yourgamedir>/cfg/sourcemod/entitytools/entitytools.cfg and configure the default options
• Create cfg files in this directory with the name of the map you are making the config for (example de_dust.cfg) and change the cvars to your liking
• Your done!

Changelog:

August 1st

• Released

August 26th

• Name changed to Entity Tools
• Changed all cvar/cmd prefixes to et_
• Removed option to break func breakables as firing ent inputs on entities covers that too
• Added et_entity to change entity datamaps or fire an input on a specified classname
• Added et_entity_queue to queue entities to have et_entity called on them after a delay starting from when the round starts
• Added et_entity_queue_remove which removes a queued item
• Added et_entity_queue_clear which removes all queued items
• Added et_entity_queue_list which lists all queued items and info about them, you need to use this to find the index of a queued item to remove it

Possibly godmoding breakables as a future request,
Anyways sounds cool

[Greyscale]

Very possible.

Thanks for the request

Could you make it possible to change values on certain entities? For example, if I wanted to change the setup time on a TF2 map, I'd run a command like: mm_setvalue team_round_timer setup_length 90
It would then loop through all team_round_timer entities on map start, and set the value of setup_length with DispatchKeyValue. Now to be honest I don't know if TF2 resets any of those values during the map, but it's worth a shot.

Thanks in advance

Sure, good idea

[Greyscale]

I don't think there is any way to set key values on entities after they have already been created unfortunately. I coded the entire queue system and I don't want that to go to waste. Is there any other way to set entity values on already created entities?

[DJ Tsunami]

You can try making it so we can set them using the datamaps instead. To take my example: mm_setint team_round_timer m_nSetupTimeLength 90
You'd have to code seperate functions for bools/ints/floats/strings etc, or you could try checking if the datamap starts with m_b/m_n/m_fl/m_

I think a kind of similar useful function would be to be able to fire inputs on an entity, either with or without passing a value. So use one of the SetVariant* natives if a value was passed, and then run AcceptEntityInput.

Hm first suggestion should be done pretty quick just need to detect the datatype. I see m_b is bool, m_n is what?(int?), m_fl is float, m_ is? (string?)

EDIT: Nevermind I just detect datatype in the value given. Took a while but I made some functions that check a string if it's a float, vector (then convert it to an array), an int, or an actual string. Might be a bit messy but it works like a charm ;)

I just gotta change somethings and add a way to remove item(s) from the queue and then a direct cmd instead of queue'ing it.

Update

• Name changed to Entity Tools
• Changed all cvar/cmd prefixes to et_
• Removed option to break func breakables as firing ent inputs on entities covers that too
• Added et_entity to change entity datamaps or fire an input on a specified classname
• Added et_entity_queue to queue entities to have et_entity called on them after a delay starting from when the round starts
• Added et_entity_queue_remove which removes a queued item
• Added et_entity_queue_clear which removes all queued items
• Added et_entity_queue_list which lists all queued items and info about them, you need to use this to find the index of a queued item to remove it

By the way Pinkfairie I believe with this version you will be able to godmode breakables.

Any reason this has been left in new plugins?

I made the changes requested is there something wrong with it?
