Needs Tested
fixed warnings from post #44

[tonline_kms65]

What is the difference between the function

CopyVector(const Float:original[3], Float:copy[3]) {
	for (new i = 0; i < 3; i++) copy[i] = original[i];
}

and

float copy[3];
copy = original;

I can't understand the difference.

NOTHING

Why do you have to make so big?

The latter probably didn't work on older versions of SM, maybe it copied the array reference so modifying 1 would change the original, I don't know. The other reason is some other scripting/programming languages don't allow copying arrays like this and so people stuck with what they know, making a CopyVector function.

I thought the topic was outdated - they might not notice my question. And so immediately noticeable. Fixed.

Ok. Thanks. Now everything is clear.

Same it does not load cars from the config file, any idea?

Guys, please, always pay attention to the last pages in every plugin thread that you may have some "issue" because other devs could have fixed or given some hint about the errors/bugs.

This one has few pages by now, only 6, so won't take much time reading. The plugin author doesn't reply since page 4. In page 5 (previous) there are two versions that seem to work.

Mr.Zero version.

KillJoy version.

I did a simple test (spawned a single car in L4D2) and worked, check if you did the same steps:

• Used the !alarmcar_spawn command in chat.
• Saved the config with !alarmcar_save_to_config. (file is saved in the cfg/sourcemod folder)
• Reloaded the map in console with map <mapname>

Notes:

• The map config is saved in the cfg/sourcemod folder, same folder where usually the cvar config is saved (AutoExecConfig). (and NOT in SM config or SM data folder)
• The .cfg file from the main post doesn't add a car cause it has an "l4d2" or "l4d1" extension, if you wanna try it, remove it and save as alarmcars_location.cfg
• I did some tests and was able to use the custom cars/trucks alarms made (even with the original version), don't forget that it was in beta so may not work properly as the original car alarm.
• You are able to spawn custom alarm cars with sm_alarmcar_spawn_custom <type> (type should be a value between 0 and 2, example: sm_alarmcar_spawn_custom 1).
• You are able to spawn custom alarm trucks with sm_alarmcar_spawn_truck <type> (type should be 0, example: sm_alarmcar_spawn_truck 0).

Here is a version (still old syntax) that I merged both (Zero/KillJoy) and fixed some warnings, you can try.

 * v1.0.4c:
 *  - Fixed some warnings
 *  - Merged Zero and KillJoy versions
 *  - Added glass blinking fix on tank hit
 * v1.0.4d:
 *  - Fixed custom cars/trucks not spawning when there is no normal alarm car in the config -- Mart
 *  - Added command sm_alarmcar_reload_config to reload the map based config file -- Mart

Still may have bugs? Of course, but at least it is working. If still, you have a bug, be detailed about it (what you did and what was supposed to happen). Also, give information about which game (L4D1/L4D2) and which plugin version (give the post link) you are using, so others can help faster the next time.

No luck it is still not working, i can see in console "[SM] Map not found!" but it is an official map. I can spawn cars and save them to config but when map is restarted they will not appear like in the video of the previous person who complained. What version of sourcemod do you use ? I have sourcemod-1.11.0-git6625-linux
