Hey,

is there any way to get the tick number in server demo while record is running with SourcePawn?

GetCurrentRecordTick() -> return 3243211

You would need an extension for that.

(Hook INetChannel::SetDemoRecorder on the SourceTV bot's netchannel and keep the recorder param. Then, virtually call GetRecordingTick on it, optionally guarded by IsRecording)

Edit: that method of getting the IDemoRecorder would only work if tv_autorecord is on when the SourceTV bot joins, else SetDemoRecorder doesn't get called. You would instead need to use another way to get the recorder object on the CHLTVServer object.

if you dont mind me asking, what is the need of getting the record tick?

A guess is so that you could pair it with cheat detection. Start recording with suspicious behavior starts and then log demo ticks of further detections, making them easy to jump to when viewing the demo later.

Thanks psychonic, that's great. Cheat detection is a applicability. But what about ban request in a Calladmin-Client? That's why we need getting demo tick.

There is an easier way)
Just set the int variable to 0 on demo start and increment it on every OnGameFrame()

That's what i was thinking also.

That won't be exact in some cases, but a similar method would work close enough and be similar to how the engine calculates it.

Use the GetGameTickCount native at the time of starting the demo to get the demo start tick, and then call it again and subtract the start when wanting to know the current demo tick.
