[SpirT]

Hey

I am trying to create an entity on the floor where a player dies (with a custom model) and detect whether someone touches it.

I have the following code:

PHP Code:

#pragma semicolon 1

#define DEBUG

#define PLUGIN_AUTHOR "SpirT"
#define PLUGIN_VERSION "1.0"

#include <sourcemod>
#include <sdktools>
#include <sdkhooks>
#include <multicolors>

char entitymdl[] = "models/weapons/spirtmodels/entityspawn.mdl";

#pragma newdecls required

public Plugin myinfo = 
{
    name = "[SpirT] Spawn entity on player death",
    author = PLUGIN_AUTHOR,
    description = "",
    version = PLUGIN_VERSION,
    url = ""
};

public void OnPluginStart()
{
    HookEvent("player_death", OnPlayerDeath);
}

public Action OnPlayerDeath(Event event, const char[] name, bool dontBroadCast)
{
    int client = GetClientOfUserId(GetEventInt(event, "userid"));
    int attacker = GetClientOfUserId(GetEventInt(event, "attacker"));
    
    if(client == attacker || attacker == 0 || !attacker)
    {
        return Plugin_Continue;
    }
    
    PrintToChatAll("Detected attacker %N and victim %N", attacker, client);
    SpawnEntity(client);
    return Plugin_Handled;
}

void SpawnEntity(int client)
{
    int coin;
    
    if((coin = CreateEntityByName("prop_dynamic")) != -1)
    {
        PrintToChatAll("Entity is valid");
        float position[3];
        GetClientEyePosition(client, position);
        TeleportEntity(coin, position, NULL_VECTOR, NULL_VECTOR);
        PrintToChatAll("Entity teleported to victim position %f", position);
        
        DispatchKeyValue(coin, "model", entitymdl);
        PrintToChatAll("Coin model was set to %s", entitymdl);
        DispatchKeyValue(coin, "massScale", "8.0");
        DispatchKeyValue(coin, "physicsmode", "2");
        DispatchSpawn(coin);
        
        SetEntProp(coin, Prop_Send, "m_usSolidFlags", 8);
        SetEntProp(coin, Prop_Send, "m_CollisionGroup", 11);
        
        SDKHook(coin, SDKHook_StartTouch, OnTouchEntity);
    }
}

public Action OnTouchEntity(int entity, int client)
{
    PrintToChatAll("Touch hook started");
    char model[128];
    model[0] = '\0';
    
    GetEntPropString(entity, Prop_Data, "m_ModelName", model, sizeof(model));
    
    if (client > 0 && client <= MaxClients && IsPlayerAlive(client) && StrEqual(model, entitymdl))
    {
        StartDeleting(entity, client);
    }
}

void StartDeleting(int entity, int client)
{
    if(IsValidEntity(entity))
    {
        AcceptEntityInput(entity, "Kill");
        PrintToChatAll("%N just picked up the item", client);
        SDKUnhook(entity, SDKHook_StartTouch, OnTouchCoin);
    }
} 


So, with this source that I have provided, it sends the message as creating the entity and deleting it at the same time. So, how can I keep the entity on the player position and only delete it once someone touches it?

Regards,
SpirT.

Your code looks ok.

I think is missing a debug to detect what is touching the entity, probably with that info you can understand what is happening

Otherwise, try waiting for a frame (or create a timer to test) before spawning the entity.
Maybe it is touching the death player itself (even with the IsPlayerAlive(client))

Also doesn't make much sense comparing the model in the OnTouchEntity check

Thanks for your reply. I already tried to do some debugging. I also tried to kill the opponent in a far distance, but it still says that I have touched it!

With the timer do you mean creating it before deleting it?

[Marttt]

by Timer I mean hooking "SDKHook(coin, SDKHook_StartTouch, OnTouchEntity);" inside the timer.

void SpawnEntity(int client) { int coin; if((coin = CreateEntityByName("prop_dynamic")) != -1) { PrintToChatAll("Entity is valid"); float position[3]; GetClientEyePosition(client, position); TeleportEntity(coin, position, NULL_VECTOR, NULL_VECTOR); PrintToChatAll("Entity teleported to victim position %f", position); DispatchKeyValue(coin, "model", entitymdl); PrintToChatAll("Coin model was set to %s", entitymdl); DispatchKeyValue(coin, "massScale", "8.0"); DispatchKeyValue(coin, "physicsmode", "2"); DispatchSpawn(coin); SetEntProp(coin, Prop_Send, "m_usSolidFlags", ; SetEntProp(coin, Prop_Send, "m_CollisionGroup", 11); CreateTimer(1.0, CreateCoin,coin,TIMER_FLAG_NO_MAPCHANGE); // SDKHook(coin, SDKHook_StartTouch, OnTouchEntity); } } public Action CreateCoin(Handle timer, int coin) { SDKHook(coin, SDKHook_StartTouch, OnTouchEntity); }

Something like this........

[MasterMind420]

Put a delay in between player death and creating it, im guessing its hitting the dead player. Try a RequestFrame delay if that doesn't work then use a timer at 0.1 sec...that should work, if it does not then go to 0.2 etc. Or just do what Andi67 suggests.

...depends, do custom model have physic model, so touch would activate ?
You can look from Hammer map editor, via model browser, check "render collision model" you should see red wireframes.
Or from Model Viewer, check physics model.

What I remember.
*edit Try different model ? ex: "models\weapons\w_eq_smokegrenade_dropped.mdl "

I tried that and it worked. Also, the model path was wrong, but even though it worked!

I'll give a try to andi67 source.

Andi67's code worked perfectly, I changed also the timer from 1.0 to 0.5 and it works great! I just have another question. With these settings, the model spawns @ player death position, but I'd like it to fall to the floor, like if we would spawn any weapon in the air. Is that possible? (CS:GO)

Change prop_dynamic to prop_physics.....
