Event-Manager

Description

Event-Manager makes hosting events less tedious, and allows you to control players much easier. This is my first plugin, I hope it'll be useful

Credits

Although I wrote the plugin, NGS | TheXeon helped with bug fixing, and as this is my first plugin, it helped greatly to have an experienced sourcemod dev to help with learning sourcepawn.

To-do List

Feel free to suggest feautures, report bugs, or point out anytihng else wrong with the plugin. Feedback is greatly appreciated.

• Make modules to interface with maps buttons for opening doors and what not.
• Somehow make a way to save current settings and put them in a template, so you can load it later.
• Allow spectators to be turned into ghosts/ use SetCleintViewEntity so they can spectate.
• Add rejoin feature, allowing users to have multiple "lives", where they can rejoin the event multiple times.
• Add a settings menu specifically for disabling chat/console messages to prevent chat/console spam.

God dammit, another of my ideas completed before I even started working on my own version

I have been writing out actual pencil and paper plans for an "Event Manager" system that would include natives, an "@event" command target filter thingy, and a menu system that would also tie into a specific event room mapped into my community server's main "fuck around and have fun" map and allow opening/closing doors, toggling various minigame setups to be enabled/disabled from the menu instead of having to shoot or melee a physical in-map button. I started writing this plan out about 6 months ago, and I haven't even started working on the actual thing yet.

Bravo. I'm definitely going to check this out. You may have saved me a bit of prep work The whole "spectate event" system is something I hadn't even thought of until I saw it was a part of this plugin. I just now noticed that before I edited this bit in. That's a pretty darn great idea.

A menu interface for closing doors and whatnot is something that I haven't even thought of. Problem is it would have to be hard coded to the map, so possibly making modules to interface with different popular maps would be cool. Not sure how I would go about making module type stuff though.

Also the spectate system does require a separate viewing room if you don't want people getting in the way, meaning it's only really useful on maps with that. Possibly I could find another way of letting the players spectate, possibly turning them into ghosts?
Anyways, I'm real glad you liked the plugin

Yeah, see that bit was like, specific to my community. I'm working on a new map for my main server and I've been making sure to name any and all entities in the map so I can later make various plugins that hook into those entities to change things. It's easier to do this with a custom made map because it gives you the ability to name specific entities and then hook into them in a custom plugin later and make changes on the fly.

My idea for spectators would involve using SetClientViewEntity or something similar. I haven't gotten to planning this part out yet

Firstly, great plugin. Really love the concept.
Secondly, on Event Config menu change blu and red spawn to same text, small thing but still xd
Thirdly, would it be possible to add Rejoins, so for example I can start the event and have everyone join in to it. Close the joining and then for everyone that's in the event allow them to rejoin x times. A nifty little feature that could have some uses for particular events. Message me to talk about other things if you want, I have a few ideas but most are pretty big things.

Would there be a way to build into this the option to strip all non-melee weapons? (We have melee only event nights and this would be ideal!) Great job though!

Do you mean like merge the two menu options? If so, I have two separate options so you can spawn red/blu separated.

Pretty cool idea, never even thought about adding rejoins. I don't think it would be that hard to implement either, I could probably also add an automatic rejoin feature so the users don't have to type !rejoin over and over.

No, I mean that one of the options is "set spawn" whereas the other simply says "spawn", changing them both to "set spawn" would look much better

Oh dang, completely didn't notice this. Thanks for the typo fix

First, awesome plugin - works like a charm......except....

I can't think of any improvements to the basic functionality, this does everything you need quite efficiently and with a easy to use interface.

The only issue I have is with the console spam - would love to be able to suppress the console messages other than the advertisement for the event starting or ending (and being able to set the join message to repeat on a specified interval would be awesome as well).

I have an issue with the messages because I also use the TMC plugin to create an area to change classes (without rejoining event) sometimes during an event, and even when an event isn't running - we get the Event class selection messages spammed into chat. The only way I have found to suppress them thusfar is to suppress ALL console messages, which is problematic for our admins, as needed info isn't displayed.
