[l4d2] painter!! (version: 2.1) - Page 9

It is possible to add a random color option on every special spawn with not so much changes to the code?
I use this small code to change Spitter and Jockey to a random color in a range where it still looks attractive and not saturated. Each SI spawned has a different color -even fitting with dead body color-, which makes the game much more varied and allows you to identify any special even if have the same model. It has many advantages for me.
However, this method does NOT work on specials other than Jockey, Spitter and Tank, nothing else. I don't know how to do it on other SI, and the code for this plugin is too complex for my skills.

Code:

public OnPluginStart() 
{ 
	HookEvent("player_spawn", PlayerSpawn_Event);
}

public PlayerSpawn_Event(Handle:event, const String:name[], bool:dontBroadcast) 
{
	new client = GetClientOfUserId(GetEventInt(event, "userid"));
    
	if (client <= 0 || client > MaxClients || !IsClientInGame(client) || GetClientTeam(client) != 3) {
		return
	}
    
	new class = GetEntProp(client, Prop_Send, "m_zombieClass");

	if (class == ZOMBIECLASS_SPITTER)
	{
			SetEntityRenderColor(client, GetRandomInt(155, 255), GetRandomInt(155, 255), GetRandomInt(155, 255), 255);
	}
	else if (class == ZOMBIECLASS_JOCKEY) 
	{
			SetEntityRenderColor(client, GetRandomInt(155, 255), GetRandomInt(155, 255), GetRandomInt(155, 255), 255);
	}
}

just add more conditions

I know, I did that a while ago and it didn't work. You can see more details on this thread:

This painter plugin uses a different method that I don't know how to read and snip.

Toranks · 05-11-2022 , 12:31 Re: [l4d2] painter!! (version: 2.1)

Here I learned to adapt the code to Spitter and Jockey, and discussion of why it doesn't work on others SI

Some SI can't be recolored (until the next TLS update) because the model doesn't allow it.

Some workshop add-ons related:

Spoiler

I won't explain exactly what setting prevents that, but opening and comparting the addon .vpk should give you some info.

Thanks!! Now work for me! I have updated the small plugin that I used to randomize the colors:

Removed hunter and changer to prevent bugs in logs

sourcemoduser02 · 06-05-2022 , 01:57 Re: [l4d2] painter!! (version: 2.1)

hello, i am asking if is it possible to save your body paint (example: red) when you leave the game and enter back, if so then how?
