Hello. Is there a proper and good way of determining if the current map from an Opposing Force server is just a standard 1, like on HL1 or, a capture the flag map? I am currently using a method that checks for info_ctfspawn and item_ctfbase classname using fakemeta EngFunc_FindEntityByString, but this method may not be reliable in all cases. I noticed that there can be cases when these entities exist, but the game is still not CTF, because there are no flags and no spawn points made for ctf game. I don't want to do the same method to check for all entities, so, is there a simple way to determine if it's a ctf map? Thanks !

Hi, try :

UTIL_FindEntityByClassname( pSpot, "info_player_team2" );

some maps don't have the same class-name, in this case you should cheak and add it also.
if you have pack of maps have the same name or prefix maybe this way will help you:

PHP Code:

#include <amxmodx>
#include <amxmisc>
#include <hamsandwich>

new gameMode[32]
new g_szMap[64]

public plugin_init() {
        
    get_cvar_string("sv_ag_gamemode", gameMode, charsmax(gameMode));
    get_mapname(g_szMap, charsmax(g_szMap))
    RegisterHam(Ham_Spawn, "player", "player_spawn", 1)
    
}
public player_spawn(id) {
    
    if (equali(gameMode, "ctf") || equali(gameMode, "ctf2"))
    {
        if(equali( g_szMap, "agctf_", 6 ) )
        {
            return HAM_IGNORED;

        }else {
            client_print(id, print_center, "This is not a valid CTF map!") 
        }  
    }
    return HAM_IGNORED;
}

This game is not AG btw, it's Opposing Force.

Yes i see, I just share to you example to understand what I mean.
and you don't need to define the mod.

But that cvar is not available on OP4. Also, there must be the 2 specified entities, plus the flags, plus the black mesa and squad force to have the game mode as CTF. So, in total, a number of 6 different entities. I need another method, to not have to check if all of these entities exist.

What is wrong with checking all entities if they must all exist?

Well, it's not a problem, but I'm sure there's a more reliable option to check the gamemode.

If a map needs those 6 types of entities to exist to be treated as CTF, then that's the valid method.

is_running is for checking if the game is valve, cstrike etc.
