Is there any way to hook when a custom menu is opened or when a player selects an option from a custom menu ?

This doesn't seem to catch the custom ones, only the team menu from the game and probably the buy menu

register_message(get_user_msgid("ShowMenu"), "hook_message_menu_text")

I'm not sure if you can hook custom menus, but probably not. Anyway you have another variant, make custom forwards.

You have to use orpheu to hook pfnMessageBegin and check for ShowMenu.

PHP Code:

#include <amxmodx>
#include <orpheu>
#include <orpheu_stocks>

new gmsgShowMenu

public plugin_init()
{
    OrpheuRegisterHook(OrpheuGetEngineFunction("pfnMessageBegin", "MessageBegin"), "pfnMessageBegin", OrpheuHookPre)
    gmsgShowMenu = get_user_msgid("ShowMenu")
}

public pfnMessageBegin(MsgDest, MsgType, Float:Origin[], id)
{
    if(MsgType == gmsgShowMenu)
    {
        //ShowMenu message is being sent
    }
} 


Do not send any kind of message in pfnMessageBegin hook.

{
    "name" : "MessageBegin",
    "library" : "engine",
    "arguments" :
    [
        {
            "type" : "int"
        },
		{
            "type" : "int"
        },
		{
            "type" : "pointer"
        },
		{
            "type" : "edict_s *"
        }
    ]
}

Place this file in addons/amxmodx/configs/orpheu/functions. The file should be called "MessageBegin".
You should notice that it does not use any kind of signature, so there's 0 chance for it to break on windows/linux, or if cs is updated.

If you are going to say you do not want to use orpheu and you want another way, don't bother to reply anymore. I'm sick of this bullshit.

That i figured out from last time

Sadly i'm running ReHLDS, won't gonna bother with ReAPI tho.. i will just do the stuff i have to do in each menu manually since i'm not gonna have many

[DjSoftero]

well you should try playing with it.

PHP Code:

#include <amxmodx> 
#include <reapi> 

public plugin_init() { 
    RegisterHookChain(RG_ShowMenu, "ShowMenu")
} 

public ShowMenu(index, bitSlots, iDisplayTime, iNeedMore, psztext) {

} 


tho i`m not entirely sure if i hooked the right thing.

I'm working on a big pile of plugins.. and i would like to keep them fully compatible with both using and not using regame, in case shit hits the fan

So going with ReAPI or Orpheu right now doesn't seem like a smart move, because it is gonna get me stuck on one of the two configurations

As I said, pfnMessageBegin does not need any byte signature. I would try the above plugin even if you are using rehlds, maybe it will work.
Give it a shot.

Or you can do something else, make a define like #define USING_REGAMEDLL. Then when you hook ShowMenu check if USING_REGAMEDLL is defined and hook with regamedll, else hook with orpheu. It's minimal code and it makes sure it will work on both dlls.

Using just Orpheu would be better, less to write and worry about
I Will give it a try this week, thanks hamlet

Or even better use set_module_filter() to detect at runtime if there's ReAPI running on the server. No recompilation needed.

The things is, i don't have the time to write everything using two different methods, especially to test their functionality..

So it is safer to go with a method that is compatible with both
