I think I found that bug, since all the day there were no weapon disappearing.

WeaponEquip, WeaponCanUse and if you're hooking other callbacks on entities you must always check:

PHP Code:

IsValidEntity(weapon/entity) && IsValidEdict(weapon/entity) 


Example how I noticed is using only one plugin that uses sdkhooks and where I didn't check for is edict valid:

PHP Code:

// Example hooking when entity created
SDKHook(pHatEnt[client], SDKHook_SetTransmit, OnSetTransmitCallback);

//callback thats only my code example
public Action:OnSetTransmitCallback(entity, client) 
{
    if ( !IsValidEntity(entity) || !IsValidClient(client) ) return Plugin_Continue;
    
    new iSpecModeUser = GetEntProp(client, Prop_Send, "m_iObserverMode");
    new iTargetUser = GetEntPropEnt(client, Prop_Send, "m_hObserverTarget");

    if ( pHatEnt[client] > 0 )
    {
        if (pHatEnt[client] == entity )
            return Plugin_Handled; 
    }
    
    if ( IsValidAlive(iTargetUser) && pHatEnt[iTargetUser] > 0 && iSpecModeUser == 4 )
    {
        if (pHatEnt[iTargetUser] == entity )
            return Plugin_Handled;
    }
        
    return Plugin_Continue;
    
} 


Without using IsValidEntity and IsValidEdict, will cause your active weapon for disappearing. This is on CS:S.

is there an easy way for SDKHooks to determine if the damage being given is from C4? DMG_BLAST works, but it also is for grenade...

Maybe I could add an if(DMG_BLAST && !weapon_hegrenade) or something... I know I would need to get the edict name, just simplifying

Check that inflictor is a valid edict, get it's classname, compare to whatever c4 classname is.

Is there a way to use this to block rounds ending in css? Didn't see anything like so, compared to DukeHacks.

Thanks

Any idea on how to hook players switching team ?

I want to get clientId of someone going spectator.

Also what is "Think" ? (Pre/(void)/Post)think ? You hook everything someone can do ?

Hooking team change is easier said than done.

The ChangeTeam function can easily be hooked, but some games have functions that bypass it, making it less useful as not all changes go through it. An example of this is CS:S's CCSPlayer::SwitchTeam function (same function called by the CS_SwitchTeam native).

Hooking the player_team event is probably just as useful and wouldn't require any extension changes.

Think can be thought of as the equivalent to OnGameFrame, where an entity does most of it's continuous logic. Pre- and Post- think are also provided on players, where similar occurs, but allowing things to happen either before or after. SDKHooks provides pre and post hook options for all three so that timing can be perfect for functionality that is dependent on timing, though PreThinkPost and Think(Pre), as well as ThinkPost and PostThink(Pre) are probably redundant and are only provided for api consistency.

Thanks for your clear answer psychonic.

Also does that mean that on the first page, with the OnPreThink example :

"public OnPreThink(client)"

"client" could be any entity ? (not just a client)

PreThink and PostThink don't exist on all entity types (but do on client). Think should exist on all.

It can be an ent of whatever type that you hook and give that callback for.

The following code snipped won't work in CSS, it won't block the jump:

public OnClientPutInServer(client) {     
  SDKHook(client, SDKHook_PreThink, OnPreThink); 
}  
public OnPreThink(client) {     
  new iButtons = GetClientButtons(client);    
  if(iButtons & IN_JUMP){         
    iButtons &= ~IN_JUMP;         
    SetEntProp(client, Prop_Data, "m_nButtons", iButtons);    
  } 
}

but with IN_ATTACK it works.

In L4D2 when using SDKHook_WeaponCanSwitchTo or SDKHook_WeaponCanSwitchToPost it fires when picking up items. But players still have their original weapon and never switch to it, so I think the hook should fire again for their current weapon, or not fire at all unless they switch to that slot.

Am I not understanding the hooks function correctly or is that an actual bug? Can anything be done about this?
