Gave this a try hoping this is one of the few plugins of this kind which doesn't cause issues. Unfortunately it was freezing my game (not server) as soon as I tried to activate the switch.


When reconnecting it worked tho.

Is it L4d1 or l4d2?
Running it for months and never crashed the local client for us.

Do yo have lots of other entities added via stripper maybe? Or is it vanilla?

It's L4d1 and yes I use a lot of stripper files. You think decreasing or removing them for that map would help? Anyway could as well be my client. Having some crashes since I switched to 1440p. Just weird it happened again when trying this plugin. I'll write if it happenes again or people report problems.

Probably when the entity kill of the block happens the entity number changed?

Or I try to kill a wrong one? Mmmh

Prolly same crash as for Dominatez.

Should I store each stoneblock entity index after creation as ref and
Before killing it make it index again?

int ref = EntIndexToEntRef(index);

And in the gate timer

int index = EntRefToEntIndex(ref);

if (index! = INVALID_ENT_REFERENCE)
{
Kill entity here
}

And this for every stone I want to kill?

Needs some investigation...

I have a feeling silvers is going to slap me with a stick on the back head again.

Yes, any time you want to use the data asynchronously or store it. Client indexes use userids. Entity indexes use entity references. Convert back from userid/ent ref to client index/entity index and validate.

Thanks Silvers.

Updated to v0.0.4

Hopefully fixed the crash.

Not to take away credit for good work, but I would recommend you to do such map modifications via stripper files. Its much more reliable that way.


Also I would recommend adding a nav blocker to make it more cleaner.

Actually I found stripper really hard to understand, used stripper dump to see how all these excape vehicle stuff works and I came to the conclusion that my brain is not smart enough for that.

I tweaked some events from sky cfg to work in l4d but that's it.

I mostly use stripper for static stuff.

Currently I am faking the nav block with
SetConVarInt(FindConVar("sb_unstick"), 0);
and set it SetConVarInt(FindConVar("sb_unstick"), 1); when pass is clear.

It is ugly but works for what I need, I only need to stop the bots teleporting anyways and that works.

But one major point is, that the sourcemod plugins here are easy to find, the stripper cfg are all included in sub posts and then on page 67 or 104 in the original stripper post, or in scripting forum who knows where.

Then there are sky cfg for l4d2"only events" in the request forums.

Stripper does not have a real place here - which it really deserves - and that is another reason why I stick with sourcemod for everything non static.

You simply post a plugin, it gets listed in the sourcemod plugin list for l4d automatically and everyone can find it so easy.

I would really LOVE to see a stripper cfg publishing forum, where you can find game specific cfg but currently it is just everywhere is a bit and noone knows where to look for a specific config.
