Sorry to bother the experienced guys, I really tried to get it working myself


I hope someone here can make a PTS(permission to speak) plugin.

When you start it, it must /silence @all, but still let admins unsilence themselves using the adminmenu or the /unsilence command.

When you type /PTS it should give you a menu with options:
1) send a Permission To Speak request (adds the requester to the PTS queue)
2) show PTS queue
3) grant PTS (choose from the queue) (only visible for admins with root access)

If PTS is granted: unsilence the chosen person

Do you really want a MetaMod: Source plugin or do you want a SourceMod plugin?

[TheReaperr]

oh a sourcemod plugin woops wrong ..forumpart then right?:$::$

Edit: thanks for moving it instead of deleting it

[TheReaperr]

Is this even possible?
If noone has the time to write this completely, can you please point me in the right direction so I can try to do it.

It's possible.

Lets see, to point you in the right direction, you'll need BaseComm_SetClientMute to mute/unmute players voice chat, OnClientConnected to mute them as they join, an adt_array to store the queue with the FindValueInArray (use with OnClientDisconnected to remove client from queue); PushArrayCell; RemoveFromArray; GetArraySize; and GetArrayCell commands, a loop using the last two commands listed to show the list, RegConsoleCommand to register the /pts command, RegAdminCommand to register the admin command to show the list, and the Menu API to display the list to admins and let them select someone to unmute.

If you want to block their text chat, you also need BaseComm_SetClientGag.

Note that FindValueInArray returns -1 when it doesn't find a value.

Can I use OnPluginStart
ServerCommand("sm_silence @all") as well?

if you want to have the lazy way out of it then i guess.
Why would you silence them if your looking for a chat trigger?

Command Options:
Mute - No voice chat.
Gag - No chat.
Silence - Both.

rtv, rank, statsme all those things work when you are gagged/muted/silenced. This is my first script I'm writing so I am not choosing the lazy way, but the less abstract way :p

wouldn't work, you could hook it to mute the client (preferably with the mute native) when the client connects.

[TheReaperr]

But that won't mute the people already in there before I load the plugin?
