Maybe a better way to check for flags..

Maybe a better way to check for flags..

(For example) this is very simple code that give players with admin flag hp..

Code:

#include <amxmodx> 
#include <fun> 
#include <hamsandwich> 

public plugin_init()    RegisterHam(Ham_Spawn, "player", "player_spawn", 1) 

public player_spawn(id) 
    if(is_user_alive(id) && get_user_flags(id) & ADMIN_LEVEL_B) 
        set_user_health(id, get_user_health(id) + 500)

All vip plugins work like this , when player spawns plugin checks if that player has any flags and if he does plugin give something ,for example HP and etc...

But the question is, is it posible to make vip plugin that check for flags only in 2 cases when player connects to server , and when players change nick (because most admin flags and vips are on the nick) and then executes plugin ...The reason i ask is it posible because in csdm players spawn all the time and each time someone spawns plugins asks if he hase flags , and its very inefficient way for checing the flags...

This is the part that kills all vip plugins..

Code:

public player_spawn(id) 
    if(is_user_alive(id) && get_user_flags(id) & ADMIN_LEVEL_B)

You should have posted in the scripting help section.
Anyway, you can use client_authorized() and use a boolean variable to store if the player has the required flag.
Use client_infochanged() to check for name change.

Why would this be the case? Setting Admin flags by SteamID is the best method.

Anyways i am pretty sure this is what connoissuer is saying (which you could have found if you just searched titles for get_user_flags..):

Indeed. The only reason why you save by nick is DProto.

I simply wanted to know is it posible to replace this line

Code:

public player_spawn(id) if(is_user_alive(id) && get_user_flags(id) & ADMIN_LEVEL_B)

With something else that will reduce draw calls because this

Code:

get_user_flags(id) & ADMIN_LEVEL_B

isnt inefficient .. Each time someone spawns plugin asks if he hase flags ..

It wold be match better if plugin would only ask 2 times for flags , first time when players connects to server , and remebers that this player hase flags and executes rest of plugin and dont ask evry spawn for flags ..
And second time should be if players change nick , then plugin would ask agien if he hase flags , if he hase remeber and executes rest of plugin.. All i want to do is reduce draw calls and it would reduce ping , lag , and server cpu usege ...

I dont understand better you, but maybe this:

Code:

#include <amxmodx> 
#include <fun> 
#include <hamsandwich> 

new bool:is_vip[33];

// Acces:
#define THE_ACCES   "abcd"

public plugin_init( )    
{
    RegisterHam( Ham_Spawn, "player", "player_spawn", 1 ) 
}

public player_spawn( id )
{ 
    if( is_user_alive( id ) && is_vip[ id ] ) 
    {
        set_user_health( id, get_user_health( id ) + 500 ) 
    }
}

public client_authorized( id )
{
    if( get_user_flags( id , read_flags( THE_ACCES ) ) )
    {
        is_vip [ id ] = true;
    }

    else
    {
        is_vip [ id ] = false;
    }
}

@swapped plugin doesn`t work(doesnt give hp)... Basically all i want to know IS IT POSIBLE to make same plugin , but with out checking every spawn each player for flags...I want something that will only check once and then every next spawn plugin will remeber that this Player hase flags ,and if this player hase not flags plugin will remember that , and will not check them agien ....I dont know how to explain this even simpler...

*facepalm* [ thats because you are non-steamer ]

maybe if u try this ...

Code:

#include <amxmodx> 
#include <fun> 
#include <hamsandwich> 

new bool:is_vip[33];

// Acces:
#define THE_ACCES   "abcd"

public plugin_init( )    
{
    RegisterHam( Ham_Spawn, "player", "player_spawn", 1 ) 
}

public player_spawn( id )
{ 
    if( is_user_alive( id ) && is_vip[ id ] ) 
    {
        set_user_health( id, get_user_health( id ) + 500 ) 
    }
}

public client_putinserver( id )
{
    if( get_user_flags( id , read_flags( THE_ACCES ) ) )
    {
        is_vip [ id ] = true;
    }

    else
    {
        is_vip [ id ] = false;
    }
}

}

He want a better way , creating a boolean and named true when client connect if they have required flags is more faster insteand of checking his flags everytime his is respawning.
