Hey there!

I've been trying to get Custom Chat Colors to work with Steam Group Admins for such a long time now. I've written a small plugin which executes DumpAdminCache(AdminCache_Groups, true) every 30 sec and that seems to work almost fine.

The problem is that I need to reapply all the Custom Chat Colors' effects to clients who have the particular flag (in my case: turn their text color to cyan).

TL;DR: How can I create a callback to DumpAdminCache in which I could safely do it so?

What I've got so far

PHP Code:

#pragma semicolon 1

#include <sourcemod>
#include <tf2>
#include <ccc>

/* The flag which gets applied via Steam Group Admins is ADMFLAG_CUSTOM1 */

new bool:ccc = false;

public OnPluginStart(){

    CreateTimer(30.0, Timer_RefreshCommands, INVALID_HANDLE, TIMER_FLAG_NO_MAPCHANGE|TIMER_REPEAT);

}

public Action:Timer_RefreshCommands(Handle:timer){

    if(ccc){
        //PrintToChatAll("Reloading CCC");
        ccc = false;
        for(new i = 1; i <= MaxClients; i++){
            if(CheckCommandAccess(i, "", ADMFLAG_CUSTOM1, true)){
                //PrintToChat(i, "You are in the group");
                if(CCC_GetColor(i, CCC_ChatColor) != 58853)//{
                    //PrintToChat(i, "Setting your text...");
                    CCC_SetColor(i, CCC_ChatColor, 58853, false);
                //}else PrintToChat(i, "Your text has already been set!");
            
            }else{
                //PrintToChat(i, "You are NOT in the group");
                if(CCC_GetColor(i, CCC_ChatColor) == 58853)//{
                    //PrintToChat(i, "Resetting your text...");
                    CCC_ResetColor(i, CCC_ChatColor);
                //}else PrintToChat(i, "Your text has already been reset!");
                
            }
        
        }
    }else{
        //PrintToChatAll("Reloading Admins");
        ccc = true;
        DumpAdminCache(AdminCache_Groups, true);
    }

    return Plugin_Continue;

} 


I feel like I'm missing something very important but can't quite put my finger on it, so I'm turning my issue to the community. Thanks very much in advance!

Yes, OnRebuildAdminCache (which the plugin should probably already be handling internally).

Okay, I set this function up but it doesn't seem to be doing the trick. It executes, of course, but CheckCommandAccess(i, "", ADMFLAG_CUSTOM1, true) isn't returning true whereas it obviously should (I'm checking it with a command which requires the client to have that flag; even if I put that command's name in the second parameter and get rid of the 4th one).

However, if I have CheckCommandAccess check the flag 5 seconds after OnRebuildAdminCache, it works without a problem.

Can anyone help me clarify that one, please?

[asherkin]

Are you using an asynchronous admin provider?

[Phil25]

Could you elaborate?

All I'm using for admins is the admins.cfg and Steam Group Admins, nothing more than that.

something with sql.. like source bans or sql dmins will screw you

[Phil25]

You mean any plugin which uses SQL? I don't use Sourcebans neither SQL Admins.
