How can i use sv_tags for my plugins?

[bl4nk]

Grab the value of the convar, check for the string you want to be in it for your plugin. If you find it, do nothing. If you don't find it, use StrCat to put what you want at the end of the string.

i tryed this but it doesn't work well

PHP Code:

stock tagsCheck(const String:tag[])
{
    new Handle:hTags = FindConVar("sv_tags");

    decl String:tags[255];
    GetConVarString(hTags, tags, sizeof(tags));

    if (!StrContains(tags, tag, false))
    {
        decl String:newTags[255];
        Format(newTags, sizeof(newTags), "%s, %s", tags, tag);
        SetConVarString(hTags, newTags);
    }

    CloseHandle(hTags);
} 


Try that out. The only argument is the string you want to insert into sv_tags. It looks for it in the already existing string, and if it doesn't find it, it will add it on.

bl4nk's method doesn't work.

The sv_tags command takes care of all the stuff he did by itself, so you just need to put

ServerCommand("sv_tags MYTAG\n");

in OnMapStart.

EDIT: Actually, not sure how this will work with multiple plugins.
sv_tags hi will add hi to the end of the server's auto tags
sv_tags hi,tag2 will add both tags to the end
sv_tags tag3 will result in hi and tag2 being removed and tag3 being added

new Handle:hTags = FindConVar("sv_tags");

    decl String:tags[512];
    GetConVarString(hTags, tags, sizeof(tags));

doesnt seem to return any values even when sv_tags has additional tags set by the user.

I'm not sure how to ADD tags, since the server command will replace them.

Ok. I've got it working.

You need to call the check in OnConfigsExecuted rather than OnMapStart. Also, StrContains returns -1 if the string is not found so you need to check that rather then just if(StrContains(...

public OnConfigsExecuted()
{
    TagsCheck("MYTAG");
}

TagsCheck(const String:tag[])
{
    new Handle:hTags = FindConVar("sv_tags");
    
    decl String:tags[255];
    GetConVarString(hTags, tags, sizeof(tags));

    if (!(StrContains(tags, tag, false)>-1))
    {
        decl String:newTags[255];
        Format(newTags, sizeof(newTags), "%s,%s", tags, tag);
        SetConVarString(hTags, newTags);
        GetConVarString(hTags, tags, sizeof(tags));
    }

    CloseHandle(hTags);
}
