tl;dr
Hi! I'm planning to make some sort of wingman on amxx. What I wanted is just restrict terros from planting the bomb on randomly picked site on the round start. So there will be 1 site to go to. And I came to a variant where i just select random func_bomb_target entity on round start and then remove it. On next round I could just create new func_bomb_target instead of removed one and pick the random site again and so on...

BUT here appears the main problem: bombsite is NOT just a cube entity. As example: B site on de_dust2. We have green box near the "b plat" and u can't just plant the bomb where u want on it. If I will just spawn new func_bomb_target there I could plant the bomb even where i couldn't do it before. (hope you understand what I mean by that green box)


So... is there any other good way to restrict terros from planting the bomb on randomly picked site on round start?

No doubt my (is it?) idea sounds like a shit but i wanna give it a try

You don't need to remove the entity you can just simply move it in the void, and set it back.

I've thought about that. Seems very ok if gonna play without bots. But what if some bot with the bomb will just stuck in the closest position to the moved bombsite if he decide to go to it? I don't know why it came to my mind

Finite possibilities remain. How did changing the ent class work out?

For some reason if I change its origin (even back to the original position) I can't plant the bomb there anymore. Or changing an origin is not what I should do?
Or i doing it wrong?
I made it wrong way...
Possibly I have to resize it or what?

Left - before changes; right - after changes:

Entity 48                                               Entity 48

PHP Code:

// de_dust2, b site: ent = 48
// de_dust2, a site: ent = 74

// the wrongest way as possible:
get_brush_entity_origin(ent, fOrigin) // engine_stocks.inc: get its origin (successfully)

// but when I even set its origin to position where it sits already
entity_set_origin(ent, fOrigin)
// it is not working anymore

// if I set my origin there then I teleporting there successfully
entity_set_origin(id, fOrigin)

if you mean this, then it have no effect or I do it wrong way but in entity_dump it shows me changed name instead of original:

entity_set_string(ent, EV_SZ_classname, TARGET_ENTITY_RENAMED)

So after this manipulation we still can plant the bomb, but if I rename b site on de_dust2 (maybe first created bombsite entity), then terros can't get the bomb (it just not giving on their respawn). Maybe it is ReGameDll's fault, idk

So... I stopped at the resizing func_bomb_target entity. It should work nice for normal players, but for bots...
I think it mostly depends on bots' waypoints for maps so if they decide to plant on B then they will GO B haha

[Celena Luna]

I don't think moving bomb side gonna help with bot since they already mapped waypoint even ZBot.

You would need to take time remaping those if you want to make bot only plan in 1 bomb side

[DJEarthQuake]

Glad you mentioned way-points. That can play a key role. Many routes are 1 way; thus bot is stuck. The other easily omitted thing that comes up is info_bomb_target and func_bomb_target are the same thing on 2 differently aged maps. You did not post all the code so leaving me to shoot in the dark on this.

Brush entities have thier own origin, if you want to set it back to its original position all you have to do is set it back to the coords 0 0 0
