I'm looking for a way to reinforce sv_steamgroup_exclusive 1 whenever my server is empty.

My server.cfg normally has it set to 1, but I have it change to 0 whenever a player from the Steam group joins using first_player_spawn HookEvent. I was wondering if there was an automated way to change it back to 1 as soon as the last player disconnects if possible. I have looked into timers with the player_disconnect event while counting human players but that did not seem to work.

You never mentioned the game.

Sorry, forgot to mention that it was Left 4 Dead 2.

Here is my attempt at a plugin that did not work

PHP Code:

public OnPluginStart()
{
    HookEvent("player_disconnect", PlayerDisconnect_Event);
}


public Action PlayerDisconnect_Event(Event event, const char[] name, bool dontBroadcast)
{
    int client = GetClientOfUserId(GetEventInt(event, "userid"));
    
    if (!IsFakeClient(client) && GetClientTeam(client) == 2)
    {
        CreateTimer(3.0, CheckPlayersTimer);
    }
    
    return Plugin_Continue;
}

public Action CheckPlayersTimer(Handle timer)
{
    CheckPlayers();
    
    return Plugin_Continue;
}

public void CheckPlayers()
{
    if (GetHumanPlayers() == 0)
    {
        ServerCommand("sv_steamgroup_exclusive 1");
    }
}

int GetHumanPlayers()
{
    int count;
    for (int i = 1; i <= MaxClients; i++)
    {
        if (IsClientInGame(i) && !IsFakeClient(i))
        {
            count++;
        }
    }
    
    return count;
}

You should probably remove: GetClientTeam(client) == 2

Is your servers hibernation off? sv_hibernate_when_empty 0 or whats the value of sv_hibernate_postgame_delay?

Would recommend debug printing to see if CheckPlayers ever gets to the ServerCommand part.



Well instead of that try this:

I recently had to swap "player_disconnect" event with "OnClientDisconnect_Post" since it appeared to not always trigger.

Try this, I've modified it from Vote Mode plugins recent update that resets mode when all players disconnect:

PHP Code:

Handle g_hTimerResetMap;

public void OnClientDisconnect_Post(int client)
{
    for( int i = 1; i <= MaxClients; i++ )
    {
        if( IsClientConnected(i) && !IsFakeClient(i) )
        {
            return;
        }
    }

    delete g_hTimerResetMap;
    g_hTimerResetMap = CreateTimer(1.0, TimerReset);
}

Action TimerReset(Handle timer)
{
    g_hTimerResetMap = null;

    for( int i = 1; i <= MaxClients; i++ )
    {
        if( IsClientConnected(i) && !IsFakeClient(i) )
        {
            return Plugin_Continue;
        }
    }

    ServerCommand("sv_steamgroup_exclusive 1");

    return Plugin_Continue;
}

It appears that this did the trick.
Only thing was it only seemed to have worked with sv_hibernate_when_empty is set to 0. I tried using different values for sv_hibernate_postgame_delay with sv_hibernate_when_empty at 1 but no luck.

Thank you Silvers!
