Allows admins to grab players. This should work in any game, though I know some game events may work differently in a few games.
I use it for Team Fortress 2.

I noticed that there were a lot of prop/entity grabbers, but most had a lot of bloat, or did a ton of things. This one is really simple, and only targets clients. It also drops players when the grabber dies, so they don't stay grabbed, as well as drops the grabbed player when they die. It is also fairly light weight, and only hooks/updates admins that have access to the command (using prethink). We use it mostly to move players around when they are blocking others (friendly situations), or to throw people into saw blades or other various map traps (when it suits us).

Commands:

• sm_grab: (ADMFLAG_SLAY) Toggles grab on a player.

The grab has 2 modes. The default mode, will grab a player and bring them to you. The second mode uses +attack2, so if you hold your alt-fire and use the grab command, it will maintain the distance. Similarly, if you are grabbing a player, and use +attak2 while using the command, it will throw them rather than drop them.

i havent checked but i dont recall css/csgo having teamplay_round_start event

[friagram]

aye it probably does not. I'll have to check and remove/fix the events that are needed. If you know of a list somewhere I'll go and put in the proper events.

http://wiki.amxmodx.org/Counter-Strike:_Source_Events

teamplay_round_start
Note: -
Name: teamplay_round_start
Structure:
bool full_reset
Most possibly does not fire :/

I should be using the sourcemod event "round_start" i believe, but it doesn't work in tf2.
There's also dod_round_start. Does anyone know if there's a catch-all event, or which ones should be used for what mod(s)?

It may/probably is not even needed. Player_spawn I believe will be fired by all games on round_starts, which will cause the player variable to be reinitialized.

Edit: Updated to 1.0.1
- Removed the round_start event, I do not think it is needed, as round restart will/should just re-initialize the clients anyways by triggering player_spawn on each one of them. Worst case scenario, the player's entity will stay grabbed by the admin that grabbed them, which would just be annoying. The player would most likely be crushed and die, and then be dropped
- There was a missing client validation check before checking command access for prethink for lateload on inpluginstart, added that.

=/ need more coffee.

this is very neat, though i dont get how +attack2 works. It doesn't seem to keep people at a distance when held down... so not sure about that functionality. still, very cool.

Probably another oversight on my part, as some games probably don't have +attack2. Usually it's the alt-fire key. It may be better for me to use +use or +speed or something.

Let me know what game you're using it with, and I'll have to look into supported keys.

[vexium]

well, that's the thing. i'm using it on csgo and csgo uses +attack2, but still nothing.

[friagram]

Hold +attack2 while you use the grab command to hold at distance, or while holding, hold +attack2 and the grab command to throw. It's a modifier, not a replacement for the command.

[vexium]

at least in csgo, it is not holding them at a distance, and toggling the grab command is the only way to throw as far as i can tell

edit: nvm, working fine, was having conflicts with another plugin set to use +attack2 is all

I'm having so much fun with this plugin. LOL. Thanks for making it
