Hi, I'm trying to make plugin that will give all players that are connected to server and are alive a shield.
I can do that part with checking if player is connected.
Problem is on maps like de_mirage you can't use shields. On maps with hostages everything is working correctly.

I checked if the shield that is created has prop CanBePickUp set to 1 and it has.

void ShieldsMode(){
	for (int i = 1; i <= MaxClients; i++){
		if(IsClientInGame(i) && !IsFakeClient(i) && IsPlayerAlive(i)){
			int shield = GivePlayerItem(i, "weapon_shield");
			PrintToServer("Shield: %d", GetEntData(shield, 2732, 1)); //prints 1
		}
	}
}

On https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Weapon_shield there's said that:

For this weapon to be purchasable and being able to pick it up, at least one func_hostage_rescue needs to be present in the map.

So I tried to create that entity when map starts

public void OnMapStart(){
	int hostageIndex = CreateEntityByName("func_hostage_rescue");
	
	if(hostageIndex != -1 && IsValidEntity(hostageIndex)){
		DispatchKeyValue(hostageIndex, "m_iName", "hostage");
		bool checkSpawn = DispatchSpawn(hostageIndex);
		if(!checkSpawn){
			PrintToServer("Can't spawn entity");
		} else {
			PrintToServer("Entity spawned");
			ActivateEntity(hostageIndex);
		}
	}
}

It doesn't work.

My last try was giving shield to player active slot but it bugged out.

Maybe i'm doing something wrong with creating entity or maybe I should use timings. I never used them before and don't know how they work. I'm out of ideas.

Hope this not break bomb game mode. I have not tested much.

PHP Code:

// buy unused 25

#include <cstrike>
#include <sdkhooks>
#include <sdktools>

char maplist[][] = {
    "de_dust2",
    "de_nuke",
    "de_mirage"
}



public void OnPluginStart()
{
    HookEvent("round_start", round_start, EventHookMode_PostNoCopy);
}


public void round_start(Event event, const char[] name, bool dontBroadcast)
{
    char mapname[MAX_NAME_LENGTH];

    if(GetCurrentMap(mapname, sizeof(mapname)) > 1)
    {
        for(int x = 0; x < sizeof(maplist); x++)
        {
            // map name match with maplist and we not find entity func_hostage_rescue
            if(StrEqual(mapname, maplist[x], false) &&
              FindEntityByClassname(-1, "func_hostage_rescue") == -1)
            {
                // create func_hostage_rescue
                CreateEntityByName("func_hostage_rescue");
            }
        }
    }
}

All I had to do was move code that create entity

if(FindEntityByClassname(-1, "func_hostage_rescue") == -1){
	CreateEntityByName("func_hostage_rescue");
}

from OnMapStart to round_start event. Idk if csgo removes all entities at end of round and recreate them again.

There's code that's working fine.

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

#pragma semicolon 1
#pragma newdecls required

public Plugin myinfo = 
{
	name = "test",
	author = "eSTu",
	description = "test properties",
	version = "0.01",
	url = ""
};

public void OnPluginStart()
{
	HookEvent("round_start", Event_Start);
}

public Action Event_Start(Event event, const char[] name, bool dontBroadcast){
	if(FindEntityByClassname(-1, "func_hostage_rescue") == -1){
		CreateEntityByName("func_hostage_rescue");
	}

	return Plugin_Handled;
}

Thanks Bacardi

Just hook touch into deleting the shield from the ground, and summon it to the player with GivePlayerItem, no?

I found another problem. Everything is working on game_mode set to 0 (casual) but all is ruined if game_mode is set to 1 (competitive). I found one way around it, if I start the game with game_mode set to 1 (competitive) and change game_mode to 0 during match, player can pick up shields and match is being played like competitive.

I'm looking for another way around, that I don't have to change game modes during game.
