Is there a way to run a function when the client closes the MotD window ?
I know that its possible to run a function when the client selects a team, but that is too late.


Why I need this:
I am showing a video in the MotD window when a client connects to the server.
But as soon as they click "ok", I would like to stop the video (So the video doesnt continue to run in the background).

I have tried to implement it with jquery visibility api from mathiasbynens and it works on a desktop browser (the video is paused when the tab is changed), but its not working with the ingame browser.

So I thought of loading a blank page in the motd when the users clicks on ok.
Is there another way to stop playing the video once the client clicks on ok (closes the motd window)?

Check if they are in a team because everyone would choose a team after clicking ok..
Hook player_team and set a variable to true after the first team choose.
And then maybe open "about:blank" in the background.

You might be able to block the original motd which opens, make a new one which includes the Cmd_ClosedHTMLPage as a cmd parameter and show that to the client instead. At that point, you can listen for the closed_htmlpage command which will now be fired every time you close your custom motd. Once that's detected you can show a blank html page which is hidden, stopping the video from playing.

@TheWho,
I have already thought about it, but I would like to stop playing the video when the user closes the motd (if somehow possible)

That sounds like an interesting idea, but how would I block the MotD from opening ? - Is there a event that fires when the MotD opens ?

You block the current motd by hooking the VGUIMenu message and if the VGUI is the motd, then return Plugin_Handled. Probably need to check for some custom info too to differentiate it from your custom one.

And yes, but only if the "cmd" "Cmd_ClosedHTMLPage" parameter is supplied when making it. It'll then fire closed_htmlpage.

Pretty sure the closed motd page callbavks don't fire any more, atleast in some games. They seemed to stop working for me anyway, around the time valve broke quickplay.
What you could do is try a jquery mouseover type deal that navigates to about:blank or something when you mouseout, but that is probably not what you want.
