Fire Mode Information v1.2

* Description
Displays the current fire mode setting when deploying or picking up a Famas or Glock18 and also clears the message if the weapon is holsterd.

The purpose of this plugin is to inform you of your weapons's fire mode (full/semi/auto, available only for Glock18 and Famas) when you pick it up or draw it in case you forgot or didn't even knew what mode it was set on before picking it up.

Also I added a sound effect that can be heard by players near you when you switch the fire mode.

* CVars
amx_firemodeinfo_enabled 0/1 (default: 1)
Enables/disables plugin, updated every round.

amx_firemodeinfo_sound 0/1/2 (default: 2)
Enables/disables usage of sound effects when switching fire mode, when set to 1 only the player can hear it, set it to 2 and all players near that player can hear it also.

NOTE: CVar values update every round start.

I'm not sure the plugin name is well chosen. I was thought it was the ROF of each weapons, not the information about the weapon mode.

I think most people consider rate of fire as how long the delay between each shot fired is.

[Arkshine]

Wiki says :

Rate of fire is the frequency at which a specific weapon can fire or launch its projectiles. It is usually measured in rounds per minute (RPM or round/min), or per second (RPS or round/s).

It sounds not exactly the right term to use here, though I don't have any proposition to do, my english sucks too much.

[Hawk552]

Maybe "Fire Mode Selection"?

love the last suggestion

[ConnorMcLeod]

You could use 1 handle per forward and per weapons, this way you wouldn't have to retrieve weapon type.
If you still want to retrieve weapon type, you can use cs_get_weaponid(ent) so you don't need to check classname and use get_weaponid after.

For the owner problem, try weapon offset m_pPlayer (value:41, linuxdiff:4)

For the sound feature, you could according to cvar, emit a sound or play the sound only to player.

Nice plugin idea

Whops, okay, I'll modify it to "Fire Mode Information" after I finish the things below :} ... I don't know why I knew that the fire mode was the rof... but anyway :}

Hmm, better, less function calls, thanks :}

Okay, I'll test that out... actually, I tested it already while writing this, it works, thanks again

Yes that would be a good feature... but! how can I play a sound on a single player with modified pitch ?

Also, I could add a check for other centered text events, if for example, "Bomb has been planted" is displayed, if the player hides his weapon while that message is visible it should not clear the message, but I don't know if this will work or if it's that useful

spk "soundfile (p90)"
Not sure of the syntax cause long time i haven't used that.


EDIT :

spk "weapons/mac10_boltpull(p150)" works fine.


For centered text you could use :

PHP Code:

client_print_center(id, msg[], any:...)
{
    static szMsg[128]
    vformat(szMsg, 127, msg, 3)
    engfunc(EngFunc_ClientPrintf, id, 1, szMsg)
} 


It allow multilines, so just send client_print_center(id, "^nYour text") and will not print at the same place as default game msgs.
