Its needed to work around the TF2 changes from a few months ago.

Yeah thats what I meant FaTony... Can you not parent stuff in TF2 then, is that what Valve messed up?

[Monkeys]

You can parent stuff, it just won't show up to the players.

[toazron1]

If you aren't coding for tf2 you can attach ents normally, but tf2 needs the "lame coding" afaik.

[Monkeys]

For tf2, wouldn't it be possible to just spawn a placeholder entity?
Parent an "empty" entity (perhaps an info node) to the player, and then just parent the others to that "empty" entity?

Or would that still cause this issue?

I think attachables extension works this way.

It doesn't.

Nope, just tried it and it doesn't work.

Alright so after I've gotten my sprites spawned and their (somewhat) attached to their parent. How do I get this SetTransmit to work.

I've been trying this

PHP Code:

stock CreateSprite(iClient, String:sprite[], Float:offset)
{
    new String:szTemp[64]; 
    Format(szTemp, sizeof(szTemp), "client%i", iClient);
    DispatchKeyValue(iClient, "targetname", szTemp);

    new Float:vOrigin[3];
    GetClientAbsOrigin(iClient, vOrigin);
    vOrigin[2] += offset;
    //new ent = CreateEntityByName("env_sprite_oriented");
    new ent = CreateEdict();
    if (ent)
    {
        new String:StrEntityName[64]; Format(StrEntityName, sizeof(StrEntityName), "ent_sprite_oriented_%i", ent);
        DispatchKeyValue(ent, "model", sprite);
        DispatchKeyValue(ent, "classname", "env_sprite_oriented");
        DispatchKeyValue(ent, "spawnflags", "1");
        DispatchKeyValue(ent, "scale", "0.1");
        DispatchKeyValue(ent, "rendermode", "1");
        DispatchKeyValue(ent, "rendercolor", "255 255 255");
        //DispatchKeyValue(ent, "targetname", StrEntityName);
        DispatchKeyValue(ent, "parentname", szTemp);
        DispatchSpawn(ent);
        
        //SetVariantString(szTemp);
        //AcceptEntityInput(ent, "SetParent", ent, ent, 0);
        
        
        TeleportEntity(ent, vOrigin, NULL_VECTOR, NULL_VECTOR);

        g_EntList[iClient] = ent;
        SDKHook(ent, SDKHook_SetTransmit, SetTransmit);
    }
} 


With my SetTransmit method looking like this:

PHP Code:

public Action:SetTransmit(entity, client) {
    PrintToChatAll("Entity: %d - Client: %N",entity,client);

    return Plugin_Continue;
    
} 


Yet I get no output at all from the server.
