Hi,

Marttt made a plugin that changes the color of common infected, so I thought it would be nice to have some more variety on prob_physics and prob_dynamic cars.

So i threw together this poc for this but am struggeling on the hook to change the cars colors.

When I hook player_death (just for testing... ) the cars change colors everytime the player_death occurs. When I hook round_freeze_end nothing happens. Does anyone have an idea how to hook that right?

HookEvent("player_death", event_round_freeze_end, EventHookMode_PostNoCopy);
//HookEvent("round_freeze_end", event_round_freeze_end, EventHookMode_PostNoCopy);

Just start no mercy map and check those cars.

Thx

I did several experiments recently related to car colors.
Cars entity (and/or its properties) has some specific of initialization in a way that even "round_freeze_end" event is not enough to wait for.
I noticed this is somehow related to the existence of at least 1 live player to be fully in-game and be spawned.

You can receive the minimal safe delay to do that after the map start by hooking for "player_first_spawn" with additional checks (see this plugin).

Due to my stupidity it didn't work.

My other problems were caused by the hook, I used EventHookMode_PostNoCopy which broke the detection of bots and humans...

int client = GetClientOfUserId(event.GetInt("userid"));
if( client && IsClientInGame(client) && !IsFakeClient(client) )


It does work with "player_first_spawn" and I only use 1 timer.

One problem left, it only changed the car on first team, when next team round its not changed.
Is player_first_spawn only fired on first round in versus and not in 2nd?

So I replaced player_first_spawn with player_spawn now and made a bool after use that seems to do the trick now.

Thanks a lot man!!!

I attached the working version for now.
