I want people to be able to type /mapname in chat to change the level.
I have tried this:

engine_changelevel(de_dust2); //undefined symbol

change_level(de_dust2); //undefined symbol

console_cmd(0, "rcon changelevel de_dust2") //not working


client_cmd(0, "rcon changelevel de_dust2") //not working

console_cmd(0 "rcon amx_map de_dust2") //not working

etc etc..
I don't understand what I need to #include..

Also, is there a smart way of not having to do 50 different functions, one for every map?

Thanks

hook all chat messages by just registering the "say" command
check if first character is "/"
if it is, read the rest of the string
now format the string to add cstrike/maps/ to the beginning and .bsp to the end
check if file_exists (to see if the map is installed)
if it exists, change to it however you want (look for inspiration in admincmd from 1.8.3, older ones might have a privilege elevation vulnerability in them)

engine_changelevel(de_dust2); //undefined symbol change_level(de_dust2); //undefined symbol

Put the mapname in quotes.

client_cmd(0, "rcon changelevel de_dust2") //not working

You force all users to use the command?!

console_cmd(0 "rcon amx_map de_dust2") //not working

Totally wrong usage + why do you use rcon when you're already executing it from the server console?

All it takes is a little logic and consulting the API.

@suhdude, you need to learn to search for these types of things. It's the most important part of learning how to script/program. If there is something you want to do that you know has been done in a plugin, find that plugin and look at its code. As you stated in your post, you know that amx_map changes the map so simply look at the code for amx_map.

What?? Brackets, [], won't do anything.

Thank you for responding.

I have searched in the API and found change_level, it did not work and then I found that its been updated to engine_changelevel. I tried include every module I could think of but the function was still not recognized.
Then I starting looking trough map change .smas like some of the ones that come with amx and others on this website. I did not find what I was looking for.

Then I tried cmd functions in 20 different ways, with brackets, without, sending to all clients, sending to one..

I know I post too much and I'm sorry, its just been so much fun learning to put things together.
I know its not the best way to learn, but its the only way for me to stay motivated doing this, taking parts and focusing on my little projects.

And I think I ask some valid questions, and I do spend time testing things out and I do search a lot most of the time, but maybe I need the basics to understand simple as that.
I do search trough tutorials, but most of the things I try to do seem to be part of "intermediate to advanced". And when I did the Intro to amx tutorial, 80% of it was just someone elses if/else code.
I have learned so much more asking, and getting help. I admit I have used this subforum too much, but I have some threads where many people tried to help me and failed, and then I figure it out for myself.

engine_changelevel("de_aztec_go"); //Still not recognized

I tried rcon after just trying:
console_cmd(0 "amx_map de_dust2")
and
console_cmd(0 "changelevel de_dust2")

I have tried looking at the API, I guess I can't think logically.

Hmm, I'm a little confused here.

1. I have already put: register_clcmd("say /rt_nuke", "de_nuke") // and tried different functions. You want me to just register register_clcmd("say", "de_nuke")?
2. When I test it with "say", I have checked that / is the first thing i put before mapname. What first character do you want me to look for?
3. Do you want me to do: engine_changelevel("/cstrike/maps/de_aztec_go"); ? Or is this post made to help me not have to do multiple functions?
4. Map definetly exists in cstrike/maps, and is added to amx maps.ini

Thank you for being patient me.

You would go obviously for server_cmd function. If you don't have basic knowledge of amxx scripting you could just start a thread in "Suggestions / Requests" section.
Btw, I believe there are bunch of such plugins. Just try to search.

P.S. If you want to echo the map changing process, you can just use admin slash plugin and change map by using short command in chat /map "map_name"

If you looked ad the API, you should have noticed that the function (if the name itself wasn't clear enough) belongs in the engine module, so add #include <engine>.
