hi

im quite new to amxx coding and i need some help with my first steps:

(i will write this in a way you dont need to know ns background to help me)

the plugin im working on is more a marine vs. marine map, so we have 2 command chairs on the map
i want to make both of them invulnerable
here is what i have written:

#include <amxmodx>
#include <amxmisc>
#include <engine>
#include <fakemeta>
#include <ns>
#include <fun>

public plugin_init()
{
	register_plugin("mvm mod","0.1","golem")
	CCInv()
}

public CCInv()
{
	new cc = find_ent_by_class(1, "team_command")
	set_pev(cc,pev_takedamage,0.0)
}

the plugin is displayed in amx_plugins

but it doesnt work, as both command chairs still get damage.

maybe the plugin cant handle the fact, that there are 2 cc's?

help please

You need to loop entities, also there are const, use them for readability (for people who read your code and for yourself, see hlsdk_const.inc).
End, CCInv function doesn't need to be public since you don't want to call it from outside of the plugin (by another plugin using callfunc or by amxx setting a task or being a command callback). You should even put the code directly in plugin_init if you don't plain to make a hudge plugin.

PHP Code:

#include <amxmodx>
#include <engine>
#include <fakemeta>

public plugin_init()
{
    register_plugin("mvm mod","0.1","golem")
    CCInv()
}

CCInv()
{
    new cc = -1
    while( (cc = find_ent_by_class(1, "team_command")) > 0 )
    {
        set_pev(cc, pev_takedamage, DAMAGE_NO)
    }
}

maybe not huge, but this plugin should definitely grow a lot... i hope...

Anyway, it's not a big deal during plugin_init because it is executed at map start, also when functions are executed only once during map.

You could also hook the spawn of those entities with hamsandwich (updated version by Arkshine) and set takedamage there (post function).

PHP Code:

public plugin_precache()
{
    RegisterHam(Ham_Spawn, "team_command", "TeamCommand_Spawn", 1)
}

public TeamCommand_Spawn( cc )
{
    set_pev(cc, pev_takedamage, DAMAGE_NO)
}

hm its not working at all right now

i killed my testserver and i cant run it on localhost.

PHP Code:

#include <amxmodx>
#include <amxmisc>
#include <engine>
#include <fakemeta>
#include <ns>
#include <fun>

public plugin_init()
{
    register_plugin("mvm mod","0.1","golem")
    CCInv()
}

CCInv()
{
    new cc = -1
    while( (cc = find_ent_by_class(1, "team_command")) > 0 )
    {
        set_pev(cc, pev_takedamage, DAMAGE_NO)
    }
} 


is there something missing? and what about this DAMAGE_NO? shall i define it somewhere? or can i remove it and write 0.0 ?

[ConnorMcLeod]

My bad

Replace :

find_ent_by_class(1

with

find_ent_by_class(cc

so it can actually take the last entity to start the search, else it gonna find the same entity and server gonna freeze.

About DAMAGE_NO, it is defined in hlsdk_const.inc, and that file is included by default in engine.inc and fakemeta.inc so it's fine like this, you couldn't compile if there was a problem with it anyway.

ok this works now. at least i dont get an error when i launch the game

but the test server crashed and i cant realy try it :/

thanks anyway!!
