How would I set a player as "dead" on the scoreboard, even if they're still alive?
I searched a bit in the netprops dump and found out

PHP Code:

m_bAlive 


Is it possible to change this boolean (maybe by manipulating tf_player_manager) in any way?

Thanks in advance

EDIT:
Should I just do

PHP Code:

new offset = FindSendPropInfo("CTFPlayerResource", "m_bAlive");
new ent = -1;
while ((ent = FindEntityByClassname2(ent, "tf_player_manager")) != -1)
{
  SetEntData(ent, (offset+client*4), 0);
} 


On every game frame?

EDIT2:
Fixed it I used OnPreThinkPost hooked to the tf_player_manager entity and changed the values in there.

Now that SendProxy supports arrays, it would be much "cleaner" than using post thinks.

Ooh that's just neat, thanks a lot!

There's likely another way to fake sending that a player is dead... after all, the Dead Ringer does exactly that (to all players, not just the other team).

Then again, maybe this is the way the DR does it.

napalm00 could you post how you managed to get it working as am trying to work something out for Nuclear Dawn based on similar functionality.

Am gonna look into that SendProxy myself, but if you could offer some code tips that'd help it'd be much appreciated,

Sure, I'll post it as soon as I get back home

Actually not sure why this doesn't work, I've been following the tutorials on the SendProxy thread step-by-step:

PHP Code:

public OnMapStart()
{
  new ent = FindEntityByClassname(-1, "tf_player_manager");
  for(new i = 1; i <= MaxClients; i++)
   SendProxy_HookArrayProp(ent, "m_bAlive", i, Prop_Int, SendProp_OnSent);
} 


In the above code I just hook 32 different elements of the array, then in the callback function I do:

PHP Code:

public Action:SendProp_OnSent(entity, const String:propname[], &iValue, element)
{
    if(IsValidClient(element))
    {
     iValue = 0;
     return Plugin_Changed;
    }
    return Plugin_Continue;
} 


The "IsValidClient" function is a stock function I got from VSH:

PHP Code:

stock IsValidClient(client, bool:replaycheck = true)
{
    if (client <= 0 || client > MaxClients) return false;
    if (!IsClientInGame(client)) return false;
    if (GetEntProp(client, Prop_Send, "m_bIsCoaching")) return false;
    if (replaycheck)
    {
     if (IsClientSourceTV(client) || IsClientReplay(client)) return false;
    }
    return true;
} 


I'm not sure of what I'm missing here, I tried putting some log messages in the callback but it seems it's not even hooked or called at all. There are no errors in the logs and I'm sure I installed the extension correctly, as it's shown as "running" in the "sm exts" list.


EDIT:
Turns out it was a problem with SendProxy, the above code will work with SendProxy version 1.1.1 or greater.
