Hi,
how to force mission lost without having killing all team?

I tried:

	int oldFlags = GetCommandFlags("scenario_end");
	SetCommandFlags("scenario_end", oldFlags & ~(FCVAR_CHEAT | FCVAR_LAUNCHER));
	ServerCommand("scenario_end");
	ServerExecute();
	SetCommandFlags("scenario_end", oldFlags);

(the code from No Death Check Until Dead plugin.)
But calling it just in arbitrary place has no effect.

Also:

	Event hEvent = CreateEvent("mission_lost");
	if (hEvent != null)
	{
		hEvent.Fire(true);
	}

with no luck. Of course, it's just post-event, but I had to try it.

Ideas? Thanks.

Try "endround"

What if create game_end entity ?

Thank you, Bacardi and eyal282.

Here is my code:

#include <sourcemod>
#include <sdktools>

public OnPluginStart()
{
	RegAdminCmd("sm_game_end", ForceGameEnd, ADMFLAG_BAN, "");
	RegAdminCmd("sm_round_end", ForceRoundEnd, ADMFLAG_BAN, "");
	RegAdminCmd("sm_round_end_2", ForceRoundEnd_2, ADMFLAG_BAN, "");
}

public Action ForceGameEnd(int client, int args)
{
	SpawnEntity(client, "game_end", "EndGame");
	return Plugin_Handled;
}

public Action ForceRoundEnd(int client, int args)
{
	SpawnEntity(client, "game_round_end", "EndRound_Draw");
	SpawnEntity(client, "game_round_end", "EndRound_TerroristsWin");
	SpawnEntity(client, "game_round_end", "EndRound_CounterTerroristsWin");
	return Plugin_Handled;
}

public Action ForceRoundEnd_2(int client, int args)
{
	ServerExecuteCmd("endround");
	ReplyToCommand(client, "Executing server command 'endround'");
	return Plugin_Handled;
}

void SpawnEntity(int client, char[] sEntity, char[] sMethod)
{
	int iEnt = FindEntityByClassname(iEnt, sEntity);
	if (iEnt == -1)
	{
		ReplyToCommand(client, "%s entity is not exist, trying create it...", sEntity);
		iEnt = CreateEntityByName(sEntity);
	}
	if (iEnt == -1)
	{
		ReplyToCommand(client, "Failed to create %s entity!", sEntity);
	}
	else {
		if (!IsValidEntity(iEnt)) {
			ReplyToCommand(client, "Entity %i is not valid!", iEnt);
		}
		else {
			int bRet = DispatchSpawn(iEnt);
			ReplyToCommand(client, "%s entity is spawned with result: %b", sEntity, bRet);

			bRet = AcceptEntityInput(iEnt, sMethod);
			ReplyToCommand(client, "%s input is executed with result: %b", sMethod, bRet);
			
			AcceptEntityInput(iEnt, "Kill");
		}
	}
}

void ServerExecuteCmd(char[] sCmd)
{
	int oldFlags = GetCommandFlags(sCmd);
	SetCommandFlags(sCmd, oldFlags & ~(FCVAR_CHEAT | FCVAR_LAUNCHER));
	ServerCommand(sCmd);
	ServerExecute();
	SetCommandFlags(sCmd, oldFlags);
}

1) When I use "game_end" all players are freeze, TAB window is opened, and round is not end (like "pause"), game raise "round_freeze_end" event.

game_end entity is not exist, trying create it... game_end entity is spawned with result: 1 EndGame input is executed with result: 1

Also, when I use it second time (after my diconnect/connect to server) plugin raise an exception:

L 10/23/2018 - 17:09:18: [SM] Exception reported: Entity 878 is not valid L 10/23/2018 - 17:09:18: [SM] Blaming: sm_end_game.smx L 10/23/2018 - 17:09:18: [SM] Call stack trace: L 10/23/2018 - 17:09:18: [SM] [0] FindEntityByClassname L 10/23/2018 - 17:09:18: [SM] [1] Line 34, H:\_To_games\Left4Dead_2\My_mods\Events\sm_en d_game.sp::SpawnEntity L 10/23/2018 - 17:09:18: [SM] [2] Line 13, H:\_To_games\Left4Dead_2\My_mods\Events\sm_en d_game.sp::ForceGameEnd

2) Checked "game_round_end" just in case. In L4d it doesn't exist.

EDIT.
3) Checked endround command. It work very-very fast. Suspiciously, too fast. But it really restart the round.

There is slightly difference between fake round end events sequence:

L 10/23/2018 - 172:41: [say_event.smx] 2018-10-23, 172:41 - EVENT_HAPPENED :::: "round_end"

and real round end:

L 10/23/2018 - 176:16: [say_event.smx] 2018-10-23, 176:16 - EVENT_HAPPENED ---> "award_earned" L 10/23/2018 - 176:16: [say_event.smx] 2018-10-23, 176:16 - EVENT_HAPPENED ---> "mission_lost" L 10/23/2018 - 176:16: [say_event.smx] 2018-10-23, 176:16 - EVENT_HAPPENED :::: "round_end"

and player dosn't see screen fogging before restarting the round. New round begins instantly.

Try log events (or look from console).

con_logfile myevents.log
sm_cvar net_showevents 2

[Dragokas]

Unknown command "con_logfile"

[Bacardi]

look:
help con_logfile

try:
sm_cvar con_logfile logfile.log

[Dragokas]

ahh, of course. Thank you. After changing that var, file is created in the root of left4dead/ server folder.

[eyal282]

Have you tried lying to the game? Try setting netprop m_bIsAlive or whatever it's called on all survivors, use "endround" and restore it. Check if the events are solved.

[Dragokas]

eyal282, interesting idea.

Human player is CTerrorPlayer in L4D. I didn't found *Alive properties in map.

To be sure:

L 10/24/2018 - 143:46: [SM] Exception reported: Property "m_bIsAlive" not found (entity 1/player) L 10/24/2018 - 145:16: [SM] Exception reported: Property "m_isAlive" not found (entity 1/player) L 10/24/2018 - 148:08: [SM] Exception reported: Property "m_bAlive" not found (entity 1/player)

However, I found several related properties.

The differeces are:
Alive state:

deadflag = 0 m_lifeState = 0 m_iPlayerState = 0 m_isGoingToDie = 0 m_isCalm = 0 m_isGhost = 0 m_fFlags = 129 m_flDeathTime = 0.000000 m_flStamina = 0.000000

Dead state:

deadflag = 1 m_lifeState = 1 m_iPlayerState = 4 m_isGoingToDie = 0 m_isCalm = 0 m_isGhost = 0 m_fFlags = 128 m_flDeathTime = 4403.697265 m_flStamina = 0.000000

On round start I ran code:

public OnPluginStart()
{
	RegAdminCmd("sm_dead", ForceDead, ADMFLAG_BAN, "");
}

public Action ForceDead(int client, int args)
{
	for (int i = 1; i <= MaxClients; i++)
	{
		if (IsClientInGame(i) && GetClientTeam(i) == 2)
		{
			SetEntProp(i, Prop_Send, "m_lifeState", 1); // like ghost (model become invisible)
			//SetEntData(client, FindDataMapInfo(client, "m_lifeState"), 1, 4, true);

			SetEntProp(i, Prop_Send, "deadflag", 1); // unknown (m_bIsAlive analogue?)
			SetEntProp(i, Prop_Send, "m_fFlags", 128); // unknown (hands up animation)
			SetEntProp(i, Prop_Send, "m_iPlayerState", 4); // freeze
		}
	}

	ShowStateInt(client, "deadflag");
	ShowStateInt(client, "m_lifeState");
	ShowStateInt(client, "m_iPlayerState");
	ShowStateInt(client, "m_isGoingToDie");
	ShowStateInt(client, "m_isCalm");
	ShowStateInt(client, "m_isGhost");
	ShowStateInt(client, "m_fFlags");
	ShowStateFloat(client, "m_flDeathTime");
	ShowStateFloat(client, "m_flStamina");
	
	PrintToChat(client, "Player alive? %b", IsPlayerAlive(client));
	
	CreateTimer(5.0, Timer_Stage_3, client);
	
	return Plugin_Handled;
}

public Action Timer_Stage_3(Handle timer, int client)
{
	ServerExecuteCmd("endround");
}

void ShowStateInt(int client, char[] sProp)
{
	int iValue = GetEntProp(client, Prop_Send, sProp);
	PrintToChat(client, "%s = %i", sProp, iValue);
}
void ShowStateFloat(int client, char[] sProp)
{
	float fValue = GetEntPropFloat(client, Prop_Send, sProp);
	PrintToChat(client, "%s = %f", sProp, fValue);
}

and we are almost there: even without ServerExecuteCmd("endround"); screen is fading, "award_earned" and "mission_lost" are fired and round ends in ~ 4-6 sec.

Unfortunately, that is not always happen. Randomly, after executing above code (without "endround" cmd) round is not end automatically. Dunno why. I checked: we only need these two prop: m_lifeState + deadflag. It's enough. I tried set these prop in vice versa order and with 0.5 sec. delay between each other, but no luck. Game randomly ends the round or not.

Adding "endround" cmd not help to recover correct events sequence. It's just a signal for instant round_end.
