I have this:

PHP Code:

new i_hostage_num, ent = -1;

    while((ent = find_ent_by_class(ent, "hostage_entity")))
        if(pev_valid(ent))
            i_hostage_num++;

    switch(i_hostage_num)
    {
        case 0 : client_print(user, print_chat, "No hostages left");
        case 1 : client_print(user, print_chat, "1 hostage left");
        default : client_print(user, print_chat, "%d hostages left", i_hostage_num);
    } 


It counts the hostages in a map and works. But when I kill or rescue some of them the number doesn't change. How can this be done?...

[Natsheh]

					"m_hostageEscortCount"  // byte
					{
						"type"      "character"
						"unsigned"  "1"

						"windows"   "9648"
						"linux"     "9668"
						"mac"       "9668"
					}

Pardon? Is that an offset?...

EDIT: Sorry but how do I use this? I can't find any examples. And when I try to use it with get_pdata_cbase the game hangs...

m_hostageEscortCount has nothing to do with what you want, it seems to only be used for bots.
You can try to adjust your code and only count hostages with pev_solid != SOLID_NOT. See if this works.

oh hamlet is correct, but here's the correct one.

					"m_iHostagesRescued"  // int
					{
						"type"      "integer"

						"windows"   "108"
						"linux"     "100"
						"mac"       "100"
					}

I've remembered there's an offset for hostage rescuing just forgot where its originally located.


This is how to retrieve it.

PHP Code:

new iHostagesRescued = get_gamerules_int("CHalfLifeMultiplay", "m_iHostagesRescued"); 


this offset will just retrieve the count of rescued hostages if you also want to add the count of dead hostages you need to hook their kill event and add a hostage death counter.

PHP Code:

#include <amxmodx>

public plugin_init() {
    register_plugin("Hostage Counter", "v0.1a", "hellmonja");
    
    register_concmd("debug", "Debug");
}

public Debug(user) 
{ 
    new i_hostage_num, ent = -1;

    while((ent = find_ent_by_class(ent, "hostage_entity")))
    {
//        if(entity_get_float(ent, EV_FL_health) > 0.0)
        if(pev(ent, pev_solid) != SOLID_NOT)
            i_hostage_num++;
    }

    switch(i_hostage_num)
    {
        case 0 : client_print(user, print_chat, "No hostages left");
        case 1 : client_print(user, print_chat, "1 hostage left");
        default : client_print(user, print_chat, "%d hostages left", i_hostage_num);
    }
} 


Works like a charm, thanks! At first I tried checking their health points. But that only works when a hostage is killed. Checking for solidity works for both killing and rescuing the hostage. Thanks man!...
