[ANY] Favorite Connections
Special thanks to Wolvan for the example and helping me with forwards.

Description:
Small plugin for developers to use as an API using the forward "ClientConnectedViaFavorites" to detect when a player connects through his/her favorites.
Please note that this plugin ALONE literally does nothing and only serves as an API for developers.
Side note: this is my first plugin to publish on here and I am still pretty new to Sourcepawn. Any suggestions are more than welcome, but please be nice!

Dependencies:
Due to the use of "cl_connectmethod", this plugin only works on the following games:

• Team Fortress 2
• Day of Defeat: Source
• Counter-Strike: Source
• Half Life 2: Deathmatch

CVARS:

• favoriteconnections_version - Plugin version, no touchy!
• favoriteconnections_enable [0/1] - (Default = 1) Enable plugin = 1 Disable plugin = 0

Forward:

forward Action:ClientConnectedViaFavorites(client);

Example:

public Action:ClientConnectedViaFavorites(client)
{
	new String:name[MAX_NAME_LENGTH];
	GetClientName(client, name, sizeof(name));
	PrintToChatAll("%s joined this server through his/her favorites! Thank you!", name);
	return Plugin_Continue;
}

Please note that the callback on the end is Plugin_Continue!

Cool. However I'm sure Dr. Mckay would have been happy to add natives to his existing plugin had you requested them.

Hi there, Sreaper,

True, however, I think you might have dodged the fact that maybe a developer who only wants to detect when a player connects via favorites with no additional features is in need of something for the sake of simplicity.

It's funny, I was just about to make something like this for myself

[by ripping code from player_analytics]

Except I haven't bothered much with making forwards/natives, so this is p c00l.

Does this fire before/after OnClientPutInServer / OnClientPostAdminCheck?

(Then again, I could always just set something like g_bFav[iClient] = false; on disconnect and only set it true in this forward).

Hi there, Chdata,

Haha thanks! Yes, indeed, it does fire before OnClientPutInServer, as it uses the OnClientAuthorized forward.

If anyone requires a specific favorite connections extension, just go ahead and shoot me a message (or put it in here)

Also, Chdata, if you need Nano and I could fire it multiple times (under different names) in different native forwards

UPDATE: v1.1 (2015-2-7)

• Optimized some code
• Now uses OnClientPostAdminCheck to detect admin flags for client

[Chdata]

PHP Code:

/*
    IsConnectedViaFavorite(iClient, true);
    Must be called during OnClientPostAdminCheck()
    And also must be called on all clients in game during OnMapStart().
*/
stock bool:IsConnectedViaFavorites(iClient, bool:bForceRecalc = false)
{
    static bool:bFavorite[MAXPLAYERS + 1] = false;
    static bool:bFound[MAXPLAYERS + 1] = false;

    if (bForceRecalc)
    {
        bFound[iClient] = false;
        bFavorite[iClient] = false;
    }

    if (!bFound[iClient])
    {
        decl String:szConnectMethod[32];
        if (GetClientInfo(iClient, "cl_connectmethod", szConnectMethod, sizeof(szConnectMethod)))
        {
            bFavorite[iClient] = StrEqual(szConnectMethod, "serverbrowser_favorites");
        }
        bFound[iClient] = true;
    }
    return bFavorite[iClient];
} 


No plugin necessary ;p
