Hi,

I have a plugin which requires the sv_cheats cvar to be 1 to work properly. I am wondering if anyone knows how to block cheat commands such as noclip, god, buddha, etc.

I have tried the same methods as the Cheat Control plugin uses, but unfortunately this doesn't block said cheat commands.

Thanks!
Steveh

I'm not completely positive, but you should be able to hook each command with RegConsoleCmd then put return Plugin_Handled; inside of it.

However, are you sure that you need to have sv_cheats enabled for your plugin? I know that you can adjust cheat values without actually turning cheats on.

I would look into option two because otherwise you would have a lot of commands to hook.

Hi,

I have tried the first method, that didn't work unfortunately.

The reason the server needs cheats on is because in TF2, the change in host_timescale doesn't take effect on clients.

Otherwise, if cheats are off and the host_timescale is changed on the server, the value is replicated to the clients, but doesn't work the same as if cheats were on.

I know i'm kind of going around what you're asking for, but I believe it would be more efficient.

What exactly are you trying to get out of host_timescale? If you're trying to change client speed
Code:
SetEntDataFloat(client,FindSendPropInfo("CTFPlayer", "m_flMaxspeed"), newSpeed);
or, perhaps, you need it to decrease the game time quicker? I don't know of a way to change it besides editing the rcon command mp_timelimit.

Hopefully this helps; I would answer your question directly but I don't know how you would go about blocking the command : 3

Post thought: You could loop through the commands looking for FCVAR_CHEATS with "GetCommandFlags". However, after a little research, I found...

This might possibly work, but I don't know.

PHP Code:
SetConVarInt(FindConVar("host_timescale"), new_value);
for(new 
0<= MAXPLAYERSi++) {
    
SetFakeClientConVar(i"host_timescale"new_value);

Hi,

I'm going to give changing the Player's speed a try, and the SetFakeClientConVar a try aswell.

I'll reply back soon with the results ^^

Hi,

I tried the SetFakeClientConVar, but that is only for Fake Clients (Bots). I will give changing the player speed a go. I also found Tickrate_Enabler Server Plugin, that changes the Tickrate of the server, and I thought maybe I would be able to change the host_timescale from there?

I'm not sure, but I'll post my findings here.


Cheers

No it's not

It sends a value to the specific client, making the client think said convar is the specific value; when it's not really.

No, he's correct. I gave him the wrong function. The one you want is SendConVarValue.
