[ZP] Addon: Custom Lighting Levels
[Updated to v1.3]

Description:
This simple, but yet useful plugin allows you to set different lighting levels for different rounds. It also allows you to set a custom lighting level when the round starts, thus allowing players to navigate through the map and find hiding spots before any game mode starts.

Credits:
- MeRcyLeZZ ---> For Obviously ZP 4.3
- G-Dog -------> Helped me in the early stages of this plugin

Change Log:
-v1.0 ===> Initial Release

-v1.1 ===> Optimized some code

-v1.2 ===> Fixed custom lighting not working on round start
-v1.3 ===> Rewrote the whole plugin

Note:
- You need to compile the sma file loacally
- Dont forget to read the plugins sma file for the description of cvars

Lol? Changing on zp_lighting CVar. Useless.
But anyway, you used so many if and else, why not use switch? Or I'm wrong...

And I just made it for fun

he's making it so it changes based on what the game mode is, and using arrays you can make this plugin alot smaller

PHP Code:

#include <amxmodx>
#include <zombieplague>

new const num_to_flag[7][] = { "a", "b", "c", "d", "f", "m", "z" }
new pcvar_light[8];
new cvar_plugin_on, pointer_lighting;

#if !defined MODE_NONE
    #define MODE_NONE 0
#endif

public plugin_init()
{
    register_plugin("[ZP] Lightings At Start", "1.1", "abdul@");
    register_event("HLTV", "event_round_start", "a", "1=0", "2=0");

    cvar_plugin_on = register_cvar("zp_lights_at_start", "1");
    pcvar_light[MODE_NONE] = register_cvar("zp_starting_lights", "5");
    pcvar_light[MODE_INFECTION] = register_cvar("zp_infection_lighting", "1"); 
    pcvar_light[MODE_NEMESIS] = register_cvar("zp_nem_lighting", "6");
    pcvar_light[MODE_SURVIVOR] = register_cvar("zp_surv_lighting", "2");
    pcvar_light[MODE_SWARM] = register_cvar("zp_swarm_lighting", "3");
    pcvar_light[MODE_PLAGUE] = register_cvar("zp_plague_lighting", "4");
    pointer_lighting = get_cvar_pointer("zp_lighting");
}

public event_round_start()
    zp_round_started(MODE_NONE, 0);

public zp_round_started(mode, unused)
    if ( get_pcvar_num(cvar_plugin_on) && MODE_NONE <= mode <= MODE_PLAGUE )
    {
        if ( mode == MODE_MULTI ) mode = MODE_INFECTION;    //if you include a cvar to handle multi infection then you can remove this
        
        set_light(get_pcvar_num(pcvar_light[mode]));
    }

set_light(level)
    set_pcvar_string(pointer_lighting, level > 7 ? "z" : num_to_flag[level-1]);    //if for some reason someone sets a higher value then 7 we need to change so we don't get that annoying index out of bounds error

pcvars are faster.

EJ
cvar :
register_cvar(...

pcvar :
pcvar = register_cvar...
get_pcvar_num(pcvar)

[G-Dog]

no problem

basically when using normal cvar natives the plugin has to search through the entire cvar memory table to locate the specified cvar to alter, while a pcvar is a pointer to the location in the memory table for the cvar. As a result pcvars are faster and less resource intensive. Same concept as pointers in c.

Can you make a new version for Zombie Plague Advance 1.6 (assassin, sniper and armageddon mode) ?
