I'm very new to SourceMod, as is proved by me posting this in the wrong forum at first. I did my homework and looked all day over these forums and through where I could in SDK documents and couldn't really find a way to do what I want. So I guess I'll just ask the experts.


I want to be able to hook and conditionally disable the +attack/-attack command for Team Fortress 2. Basically, I'm writing a mini-game plugin for my clan's server, and I want to make it so the flamethrower can only use the compression blast, ie, no killing, just pushing. Other cases will still need to be able to use +attack. (Work arounds and alternatives welcome).

RegConsoleCmd("+attack"...) doesn't seem to work, nor does the "player_shoot" event. I read a post that used GetClientButtons() to detect an IN_ATTACK flag, but that does not allow me to block as I need to do.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. The results will be hilariously entertaining and certainly released to all.

Also: I want to control +duck as well, but I figure that will come with solving this problem.

Hate to be the one to say it, but it's not possible =/

Blocking fire and fire damage could maybe be possible (not a TF2 coder, not sure) but you can't hook client commands like +attack and block them from happening.

My best suggestion would be looking at the Hooker ext to catch and delete the creation of a fire entity created by Pyro?

Yeah it's good to see someone doing their homework before asking, but I have tried multiple times and have failed to actually block firing.

Using a c++ extension you can hook ProcessUserCmds and remove the +attack flag.
Probably will still animate client side for the firer though.

Darn, Thanks for the info tho. Good to know about the extensions. Guess that's where I'll head next.

ZephirDX@: hi..if its just the flamethrower you wan't to block then there is an easy way, im pretty sure that when a pyro +attacks an "fire" entity is created and im 100% about that so you what you could try doing in game frame is checking for fire entities just with the "fire" classname and checking if their m_iOwnerEntity is a valid player in game and alive, and then deleting them...in theory it should work fine its not a great way to do it but you have no other options with sourcemod yet.

which extension ?

[necrosect]

probably hooker ?

[SAMURAI16]

hook 'weapon_fire' event; Check if "m_nButtons" is IN_ATTACK set buttons &= ~IN_ATTACK

[Tauphi]

in TF2 the weapon_fire event does not exist ...

and how do I set IN_ATTACK ? there is only a GetClientButtons() method, no SetClientButtons ...
