Hi Sourcemod scripting,

I'm looking for a way to store a client index to a map button (func_button), with the purpose of being able to find the last player who pressed that certain button. I've tried things, which just lead to stack errors and things. I've come to the conclusion I have no idea what I'm doing.

Thanks

Lol.... great post...

You would want use an array for this.

On button press
--- loop array to find button index
----- if found store the userid of the pressee
----- if not found add the button index and userid

On round start
--- clear array

Sorry for the really undetailed post. I rushed because of school, I'll be able to update in a few hours.

You could also hook the button press when that particular button spawns and do your work in the callback, so you wouldn't have to loop through any arrays.

I was thinking that. But if you store against a client index the last pressed button you could only store the very last button a client pressed.

If using an array like i first mentioned. If the same player pressed every button you would be able to figure this out.

Edit: I've also raised this thought with dynamic if you want to add any thoughts...

Okay, I'm home now. Sorry for the bad explanation. Basically what I'm looking for is a way pair a clients index with a button once they hit the button. I am very new to this type of thing. This is what I've got but it doesn't exactly work...

public OnButtonPressed(const String:output[], buttonEnt, attacker, Float:delay)
{
	decl String:entity[1024];
	new lastClientid = GetClientOfUserId(attacker); // is this necessary ?
	new button[2048]; // ??
	
	GetEntPropString(buttonEnt, Prop_Data, "m_iName", entity, sizeof(entity));
	
	if (IsClientInGame(attacker) && IsPlayerAlive(attacker))
	{
		 button[buttonEnt] = attackerID;
	}
}

Probably looks dumb but hey that's progress.

Why all that stuff with iName? You're declaring the string, and putting something into it, but then you don't do anything with it afterwards.

If you declare your storage array within the function, then the data will all be erased once the function ends... you need to make it global, or perhaps static?

Also, where does OnButtonPressed come from?

Hi, thanks for the reply. I forgot to remove it but its for printing stuff into the chat, I'll give out what I got now. I also made the array global.

#include <sourcemod>
#include <sdktools>
#include <morecolors>

#define MAXENTITIES 2048

new bool:isListening[MAXPLAYERS + 1] = false;
new button[MAXPLAYERS + 1];

public Plugin:myinfo = 
{
  name = "Button Announce",
  author = "adma",
  description = "Announces button press in chat.",
  version = "3.0"
};

public OnPluginStart()
{
	RegConsoleCmd("sm_button", OnButtonListen, "Enables button stuff.");
	HookEntityOutput("func_button", "OnPressed", OnButtonPressed)
}

public Action:OnButtonListen(int client, int args)
{
	if (isListening[client])
	{
		isListening[client] = false;
		ReplyToCommand(client, "[SM] No longer listening for button presses.")
		return Plugin_Handled;
	}
	else
	{
		isListening[client] = true;
		ReplyToCommand(client, "[SM] Now listening for button presses");
		return Plugin_Handled;
	}
}

public OnButtonPressed(const String:output[], buttonEnt, attacker, Float:delay)
{
	decl String:entity[1024];
	new lastClientid = GetClientOfUserId(attacker);
	
	GetEntPropString(buttonEnt, Prop_Data, "m_iName", entity, sizeof(entity));
	
	if (IsClientInGame(attacker) && IsPlayerAlive(attacker) && !isListening[attacker])
	{
		button[buttonEnt] = lastClientid;
	}
	
	if (IsClientInGame(attacker) && IsPlayerAlive(attacker) && isListening[attacker])
	{
		CPrintToChat(attacker, "%N {uncommon}was the last to press button \x01%s", button[buttonEnt], entity);
	}
}

This doesn't throw any errors. The only problem is that the plugin thinks lastClientid = 0 regardless if someone has pressed the button or not.

button[lastClientid] = buttonEnt;

Without using a proper array, you can only store the button against the client in the array

Thanks for the insight. This purpose I won't need to get the clients last button hit. Just only need the client that last hit a certain button. Is there any way I can store the client against the button? My goal is to enable !button, hit a button and the buttons client will print in chat. Appreciate the help .
