Hooking Entity Spawn/Entities Created Through Other Plugins

PartialCloning · **Author**

I am trying to hook entity spawn of various classnames but the hook is not called for entities created by other plugins. One of the classnames is info_target, yet I can't seem to find a method to hook their creation or spawn. Is there any forward that will always fire regardless of what plugin creates it or how an entity is created?

It might work if you capture one of the entities and use RegisterHamFromEntity. If that's still not working, then I would guess the entities are not necessarily calling DLLFunc_Spawn. I'm not sure if entities created by EngFunc_CreateEntity spawn automatically or not, but in the case of an info_target they may not need to, in which case you would probably want to use the broader Fakemeta forward FM_CreateEntity/NamedEntity.

If they are created by AMXX, you can't use FM_CreateNamedEntity to hook that. It's the same thing as models precached by plugins not triggering FM_PrecacheModel. IIRC, if you hook them with orpheu(and you won't need to use signature of bytes, since functions are exported) it will work.
