It's okay, I'm a completely nue too.
Oh, another reason that code doesn't work sometimes might be because it passes client to a timer, instead of a userID.
PHP Code:
public OnClientCookiesCached(iClient) // This can occur before or after the OnClient ... Join/PutIn/PostAdmin() forwards.
{
LoadClientCookies(iClient);
}
public OnClientPostAdminCheck(iClient)
{
g_bIsGhost[iClient] = false;
g_bBecomingGhost[iClient] = false;
g_bGhost[iClient] = true;
g_bThirdPerson[iClient] = true;
if (!IsFakeClient(iClient) && AreClientCookiesCached(iClient)) // If PostAdminCheck fired /after/ cookies were cached, reload them.
{
OnClientCookiesCached(iClient); // You could use loadcookies here, but normally I would put whatever is in 'LoadCookies()' directly here and call it like this.
}
//if (!IsClientInGame(iClient)) // Is that possible?
// return;
SDKHook(iClient, SDKHook_SetTransmit, SetTransmit);
SDKHook(iClient, SDKHook_PreThink, PreThink);
}
// public OnClientPutInServer(iClient)
// {
//
// }
// public Action:Timer_LoadCookies(Handle:hTimer, any:iClient)
// {
// if(!IsValidClient(iClient) || !AreClientCookiesCached(iClient))
// return Plugin_Continue;
//
// LoadClientCookies(iClient);
// return Plugin_Stop;
// }
If you wanna try only fixing the timer,
PHP Code:
CreateTimer(10.0, LoadCookies, GetClientUserId(iClient));
//Ignore if it wasn't a valid client (rare).
if(!IsClientInGame(iClient))
return;
SDKHook(iClient, SDKHook_SetTransmit, SetTransmit);
SDKHook(iClient, SDKHook_PreThink, PreThink);
}
public Action:Timer_LoadCookies(Handle:hTimer, any:UserId)
{
new iClient = GetClientOfUserId(UserId);
if(!iClient || !IsClientInGame(iClient) || !AreClientCookiesCached(iClient))
return Plugin_Continue;
LoadClientCookies(iClient);
return Plugin_Continue;
}
But if cookies happen to get cached a whole 10 seconds later (if your cookie database is external maybe that could happen?) then they won't be loaded, which is why OnClientCookiesCached is probably better.
