I'd like to request a plugin that seems very simple, but I've yet to see anywhere.
Basically, I'd like a plugin that anounces to the server (via hint or chat message, then a console message) who starts a panic event through any of the following:
-- (Survival) Starting the round.
-- Shooting an alarm car.
-- Starting a panic even such as the Carnival Gate to the staduim, or the elevator in No Mercy.

Frankly, I'm tired of people starting before anyone's ready, and most of the time I'm too busy setting up to look at who did it. I want to know who starts it so that, if nesscarry, I can start warning/punishing them. But with no auto-punish system implemented, as there are too many factors that could go wrong and there's always an admin on the server.
Thanks in advance. And if any of these isn't possible (though I don't suspect they are), or if you think of any other horde-calling events that I left out, then please feel free to throw them in.

I made this little plugin in about 10 minutes using the "create_panic_event" event. I haven't tested this but it should compile and work somewhat though on the events page it says this event doesn't always occur when the panic event actually occurs.

PHP Code:

/* Left 4 Dead 2 Panic Events */

#include <sourcemod>

public OnPluginStart()
{
    /* Hook Panic Create event after it has happened */
    HookEvent("create_panic_event", OnPanicCreate);
}

public Action:OnPanicCreate(Handle:event, const String:name[], bool:dontBroadcast)
{
    /* Copy the UserID from the event over */
    new uId = GetEventInt(event, "userid");
    /* Now get the person's name */
    new client = GetClientOfUserId(uId);
    new cName[MAX_NAME_LENGTH];
    GetClientName(client, cName, sizeof(cName));
    /* Now tell everyone who created the event */
    PrintToChatAll("\x03[Panic Event]\x01 %s created a panic event!", cName);
}

Well, I've tested it in survival mode (which was the one I really wanted it for, anyway, to see who started the round) and it would seem that it works as intended.
Thanks again.

So technically speaking, this wouldn't report the console (director) as starting hoards or admins for calling in hoards through plug-ins right?

this is also working on l4d1, only when on like dead air final, you touch the radio and then the fuel pump it says the server name triggert the panic event, is that possible to make it like that you see the player that pushed the button?

Hi, sometimes the server hostname appears in the chat, instead of the player´s name . This happened on c8m3 when starting the outdoor elevator next to the gas station.

Here, this should fix this.

#include <sourcemod>

public OnPluginStart( ) {
    HookEvent( "create_panic_event", Event_Panic );
}

public Action:Event_Panic( Handle:event, const String:name[], bool:dontBroadcast ) {
    new id = GetClientOfUserId( GetEventInt( event, "userid" ) );
    
    if( IsClientConnected( id ) ) {
        decl String:szName[ MAX_NAME_LENGTH ];
        GetClientName( id, szName, MAX_NAME_LENGTH - 1 );
        
        PrintToChatAll( "\x03[Panic Event]\x01 %s has started the panic!", szName );
    } else
        PrintToChatAll( "\x03[Panic Event]\x01 Panic has been started!" );
}

Your code won't compile.

Still no dice. Here's the error I'm getting:
