[Nican]

Well, i usually do not like to ask for help, but i am getting desperate

I am trying to make a plugin so a person can make a button to a door... I already tried a variety of things, and most of the times, the server crashes

How this works, this is a menu...
Key 1 = Look at door
Key 2 = Look at button
Key 3 = Finish
hisaim = get_use_aiming(id,hisaim...)

PHP Code:

switch(key){
            case 0: {
                new theclassname[32]
                entity_get_string(hisaim,EV_SZ_classname,theclassname,32)
                if(hisaim == extrastuffb[id])
                    client_print(id,print_chat,"[Nican] A object can not be a door and a button at the same time!")
                else if(!equal(theclassname,"func_door",9))
                    client_print(id,print_chat,"[Nican] This item is not a valid door")                
                else
                    extrastuff[id] = hisaim
            }
            case 1: {
                if(hisaim == extrastuff[id])
                    client_print(id,print_chat,"[Nican] A object can not be a door and a button at the same time!")
                else 
                extrastuffb[id] = hisaim
            }
            case 2:{
                if(extrastuff[id] == 0 || extrastuffb[id] == 0){
                    client_print(id,print_chat,"[Nican] Please do steps 1 and 2 first")
                } else {
                new randomnum = random_num(1,512)
                
                new clas[32]
                entity_get_string(extrastuffb[id],EV_SZ_classname,clas,32)
                
                if(!equal(clas,"func_rot_button"))
                    set_kvd(extrastuffb[id], KV_ClassName, "func_rot_button")
                set_pev(extrastuff[id],pev_targetname,randomnum)
                set_pev(extrastuffb[id],pev_target,randomnum)                
                }        
            }            
        } 


Thank you

Try the code below. You shouldn't mix fakemeta and engine. Also, you passed 32 where it should be 31. (0, 1, 2, ..., 31) Target and targetname are strings, not numbers.

switch(key)
{
    case 0:
    {
        new classname[32]
        entity_get_string(hisaim, EV_SZ_classname, classname, 31)
        
        if(hisaim == extrastuffb[id])
        {
            client_print(id, print_chat, "[Nican] An object can not be a door and a button at the same time!")
        }
        else if(!equal(classname, "func_door", 9) /*&& !equal(classname, "func_door_rotating", 18)*/)
        {
            //what about func_door_rotating?
            client_print(id, print_chat, "[Nican] This item is not a valid door")
        }
        else
        {
            extrastuff[id] = hisaim
        }
    }
    case 1:
    {
        if(hisaim == extrastuff[id])
        {
            client_print(id, print_chat, "[Nican] An object can not be a door and a button at the same time!")
        }
        else if(!hisaim)
        {
            client_print(id, print_chat, "[Nican] This item is not a valid button")
        }
        else
        {
            extrastuffb[id] = hisaim
        }
    }
    case 2:
    {
        if(extrastuff[id] == 0 || extrastuffb[id] == 0)
        {
            client_print(id, print_chat, "[Nican] Please do steps 1 and 2 first")
        }
        else
        {
            new classname[32]
            entity_get_string(extrastuffb[id], EV_SZ_classname, classname, 31)
            
            if(!equal(classname, "func_rot_button"))
            {
                entity_set_string(extrastuffb[id], EV_SZ_classname, "func_rot_button")
            }
            
            //you have to come up with a way to create a new string every time
            //so you'll probably want to store the number of buttons created
            //random numbers may be repeated, so I don't advise that
            entity_set_string(extrastuff[id], EV_SZ_targetname, "string")
            entity_set_string(extrastuffb[id], EV_SZ_target, "string")              
        }
    }
}

Well.. Thank you VERY MUCH for answering

I do not know for not mix fakemeta & engine, but nothing that I tried worked, so i started to ignore scripting rules

first, on the "equal(classname, "func_door", 9)", i had predicted the _rotating problem, and at first i did put the &&... but i figured that _rotating is just a continuation of func_door and if the equal function just check the first 9 letters, it will also include the _rotating

I made the entity_set_string as you sad, the door became locked but the button is not working...
Do you think I have to delete this old button, and create a new one with the different classname?

I'm not sure how to change keyvalues properly, but my guess is to use this:

DispatchKeyValue(extrastuff[id], "targetname", "string")
DispatchKeyValue(extrastuffb[id], "target", "string")

instead of this:

entity_set_string(extrastuff[id], EV_SZ_targetname, "string")
entity_set_string(extrastuffb[id], EV_SZ_target, "string")

[Nican]

Found the problem I can not change the "classname" of something, I have to create a new object with the new classname
If both items is already a door and a button it works

Thank you...

set_pev(extrastuff[id], pev_targetname, "string")
set_pev(extrastuffb[id], pev_target, "string")
