I'm trying to get the area of the location of the player is in. The area is displayed underneath the radar on the client side. For example CT Spawn, or Bombsite A (See Attatchment). Haven't looked into it much, but anyone know of an easy way of getting this info?

IPlayerInfo *info = m_PlayerInfoManager->GetPlayerInfo( pEntity );
Vector vecPlayer = info->GetAbsOrigin();

It seems to be a little delayed.

That's is not what i'm asking. GetAbsOrigin() only gives me the x,y,z coordinates. I need to be able to tell what area of the map they are in. All the official CS maps have this.

Did a bit of searching in the CSS news.

Location names are shown in radio/team chat, and under the radar.

What I want is the location name of the location the player is currently in. Not quite sure where and how these locations are stored though.

I found a tutorial which shows how to create these location names for mappers. http://www.editlife.net/tutorial.php?id=33 It appears that the .nav file contains the location names. Now how can I get the information that I want from the nav file or from where it stores it in memory after it loads it?

i don't know, but maybe with this functions...

CGameRules::GetChatLocation(bool bTeamOnly, CBasePlayer *pPlayer)
CCSGameRules::GetChatLocation(bool bTeamOnly, CBasePlayer *pPlayer)

Yeah I'm pretty sure that's the function i'm looking for. Now to implement it... If I get it working, i'll post my code.

Thanks for your help Knagg0.
