Hi. I'm trying to detect when a lobby has connected to the server. In CSGO/TF2 there's apparently cl_connectmethod which you can query for "matchmaking" but this cvar is nonexistant in L4D2.

Detecting if one client connected through a lobby would suffice to what I'm trying to achieve. I can't check for lobby reservation id because there is none (l4dtoolz is running).

I tried doing this, until I realized sv_hosting_lobby never changes so it won't work. Any help is appreciated.

ConVar lobby;

public void OnPluginStart()
{
	lobby = FindConVar("sv_hosting_lobby");  // Does this change to 1 when a lobby connects? Apperently not.

	lobby.AddChangeHook(OnLobbyConnection);
}

public void OnLobbyConnection(ConVar cvar, const char[] oldVal, const char[] newVal) 
{
	if (StringToInt(newVal) > 0)
	{
		LogMessage("Lobby detected");
	}
}

Found my own solution: https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=2750363
After cutting all reservation stuff, Left4Dhooks Direct lobby natives starts to work.
Might be usefull for someone.
