Im trying to add a timer in this plugin to spam this chat message to people during the waiting for players round. My method isnt quite working but was wondering if anyone can take a look, I only copy and pasted a lot.

So here's what I changed around:

I removed the two includes at the top that didn't need to be there. There's not really much problem leaving them in, but I prefer to not have them if I'm not using them.

Also, I moved the fake client check into the other line of checks simply to group them together.

Lastly, and the part that really matters, is that you were trying to grab the client's ID from teamplay_round_start. What you need to do is simply call the timer for Action:Display_Ad from there and loop through all the clients (i = 1; i < MaxClients). This will display the ad to everyone in the game. (http://wiki.alliedmods.net/Team_Fortress_2_Events)

One more thing: from the TF2 events in the wiki, it looks as though you could use teamplay_waiting_begins/ends instead of using Roundstarts to keep track of it. Just a small thing really, but it might help to keep the code coherent.

Ok thanks. I was going to use the events but they didnt work with the code, i think he made it to end it himself with a check.

That didnt work. This is what I have now and it still doesnt work.

The line for getting a client's ID from teamplay_round_start was still there; you can't get a client from that event. PrintToChat, then, cannot print to client. It needs to print to i, the variable for each potential player. That's why it's not working. Also, if you're using 1.1, you can use MaxClients instead of GetMaxClients() - personal preference.

Also, you didn't need those two additional fake client checks, as those are still there in the lines above.

Hope it helps

Ok, I will test it now. I would use the 1.1 maxclients but im too lazy to compile anywhere but online.

It only does the chat ad once, it doesnt spam it at all. Plus it changes my sv_tags

[RM_Hamster]

If you want it to spam, you should use a repeatable timer (http://wiki.alliedmods.net/Timers_(S...eatable_Timers).

As for sv_tags, I don't know how to suppress that off the top of my head.

[DontWannaName]

I dont know how to implement that. This is what I could do.

The extra code I took out wasn't needed in this case. It's only if you wanted to print multiple times at once; what's left is all you need to print it over and over. It will print once every minute until Roundstarts == 1. You could probably use Plugin_Stop instead of Plugin_Handled at the end there, but I usually prefer Plugin_Handled instead (doesn't really make a difference I think).

Also, I think that the timer handle closes itself after Plugin_Handled is returned, but I don't recall for sure... it might need to be explicitly closed with a CloseHandle().
