Been searching for this all over the place, and think I even remember seeing it somewhere a few months ago, yet I can't find it.

For some sort of kill streak system I'm trying to have the players earn kill streaks, and toss a smoke grenade at a spot, where the kill streak reward (eg a mortar strike or the likes, or Peace Maker's Ion Cannon ) shall be executed.

Basically what I'm after is:
- Is there an event for when the smoke grenade ignites?
Edit: Thank you databomb!

PHP Code:

HookEvent("smokegrenade_detonate",smokegrenade_detonate); 


PHP Code:

public smokegrenade_detonate(Handle:event,const String:name[],bool:dontBroadcast)
{
} 


- Can I get which client has thrown the smoke from that, and the location of the smoke?
Edit: Thanks again databomb!

PHP Code:

new Float:Origin[3];
Origin[0] = GetEventFloat(event,"x");
Origin[1] = GetEventFloat(event,"y");
Origin[2] = GetEventFloat(event,"z"); 


PHP Code:

new client = GetClientOfUserId(GetEventInt(event, "userid")); 


And as a bonus question :
- Is there any way to change the smoke so that it aint a big ball of smoke like it usually is, but rather a small green (or whatever color) marker like smoke column?

Hope anyone can help me, am happy with the smallest hints! ;)

There's an event called smokegrenade_detonate which has position and the client userid information in it.

bonus question.. yes, you could prevent the normal smoke from detonating and make a substitute effect. There are many plugins already doing this, search for smoke or poison cloud in the plugins database. Try OnEntityCreated and look for env_particlesmokegrenade and kill em off before they do anything.

Thanks gonna give that a go!

Got another question:

Looked around a bit on smokegrenade_detonate and landed here:
http://wiki.alliedmods.net/Counter-S...enade_detonate

Problem is, it gives me a client who fired it (usefull), a position (also very usefull), but it doesn't seem to send much else.
Is there a way to see what entity the smoke grenade is and kill it, so it can't start smoking?

I really don't want to kill all smoke entities, I'd rather kill the nade before anything happens. Removing all smoke indiscriminately may have unwanted side effects.

use sdkhooks to create a spawn hook and start touch hook on "smokegrenade_projectile" of the client you want. when it spawns set "m_nNextThinkTick" to -1 to disable the timer then when it starts touching something grab is origin then delete the entity.

Or check the velocity to be 0.0 instead of a StartTouch hook to be sure, that the smokenade isn't just bouncing off a wall, but is laying on the floor. You've got the client in m_hThrower iirc.

That's a bit over my head. Could you show me a piece of code showing how to achieve this? Sounds like exactly what I need!

[Peace-Maker]

Haven't tested this though. Could be, that the client is in m_hOwnerEntity instead of m_hThrower. I'm sure blodia knows, if there is something wrong;)

PHP Code:

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

public OnEntityCreated(entity, const String:classname[])
{
    if(StrEqual(classname, "smokegrenade_projectile", false))
    {
        SetEntProp(entity, Prop_Send, "m_nNextThinkTick", -1);
        SDKHook(entity, SDKHook_ThinkPost, Hook_OnThinkPost);
    }
}

public Hook_OnThinkPost(entity)
{
    new Float:fVelocity[3];
    GetEntPropVector(entity, Prop_Send, "m_vecVelocity", fVelocity);
    if(fVelocity[0] == 0.0 && fVelocity[1] == 0.0 && fVelocity[2] == 0.0)
    {
        new client = GetEntPropEnt(entity, Prop_Send, "m_hThrower");
        
        new Float:fOrigin[3];
        GetEntPropVector(entity, Prop_Send, "m_vecOrigin", fOrigin);
        
        AcceptEntityInput(entity, "Kill");
        
        // Blast ioncannon at fOrigin!
    }
}

Thanks that'll help a bunch!
I'm nearly done with the script now, found a way with which I hopefully can make exactly the smokestack I want (kinda like this), gonna merge it with my kill messages plugin, after which I should be done with a fairly good killstreak system for CSS!
I'll post it in the new plugins when it's done.

Thanks for everyone's help!
