So i am trying to make my first ever plug-in, but i just can't figure out why it's not working. It is supposed to exec the command sm_invite on all new connecting clients. Here is my code so far:

#include <sourcemod>
 
public Plugin myinfo =
{
	name = "Inviter",
	author = "Dream / HellonEarth",
	description = "executes the command sm_invite on all new connecting clients",
	version = "1.0",
	url = "https://hoecommunity.com"
};


public OnClientPutInServer(int client)
{
    new String:SteamID[50];
    GetClientAuthString(client, SteamID, 50);
    if (StrEqual(SteamID, "STEAM_ID:H:ERE", false))
    {
        ServerCommand("sm_invite #%i 10", GetClientUserId(client)); 
    }
}

then the check is not needed?

public OnClientPutInServer(int client)
{
    new String:SteamID[50];
    GetClientAuthString(client, SteamID, 50);
    if (StrEqual(SteamID, "STEAM_ID:H:ERE", false))
    {
        ServerCommand("sm_invite #%i 10", GetClientUserId(client)); 
    }
}

-->

public OnClientPutInServer(int client)
{
    ServerCommand("sm_invite #%i 10", GetClientUserId(client));    
}

This didn't solve it. It made the code more efficient probably but it's not executing the command.

what does this command do ? "sm_invite"

[FeelsGoodMan]

Sends a steam group invite to target client. The command works, the script i wrote doesn't

PHP Code:

#include <sourcemod>
  
public Plugin myinfo =
{
    name = "Inviter",
    author = "Dream / HellonEarth",
    description = "executes the command sm_invite on all new connecting clients",
    version = "1.0",
    url = "https://hoecommunity.com"
};
public OnClientPutInServer(int client)
{
  char playerid[20]
 GetClientAuthId(client, AuthId_Steam2, playerid, 20);
  
  if (StrEqual(playerid, "STEAM_ID:H:ERE", false))
    {
         ServerCommand("sm_invite #%i 10", playerid); 
    }
} 


You haven't actually defined the sm_invite command so there is no point in using that? I'd suggest just taking a look at Franc1sco's webshortcuts and just adding an !group command providing this is a CS:GO command lol.

Failing that just create an invite bot for Steam and push the Steam64ID's of connecting players through it.

The command should get executed. There is no problem with the code.
You should use OnClientPostAdminCheck if you're command is relying on a steamid:
"Whether a client has a steamid is undefined until OnClientAuthorized is called, which may occur either before or after OnClientPutInServer. Similarly, use OnClientPostAdminCheck() if you need to verify whether connecting players are admins."

However auto inviting any joining player without asking them is against Valves TOS.

I'm not 100% sure what I'm doing wrong here. When i do sm_invite name in the console nothing happens, but when i do the same command from the in-game console in my game client it works fine.

The code i used didn't work btw. I just recompiled the plug-in with OnClientPostAdminCheck() so i will see what happens then.

If you get enough attention might this lead to a GSLT ban?

There are some common misconceptions when it comes to what you can be GSLT banned for and not. Some of it is false and hearsay, while some of it is legit. Normally it revolves around teporarily falsifying information about your inventory or your clients inventory.

I use those two links for reference:

http://store.steampowered.com/subscriber_agreement/
http://blog.counter-strike.net/index...er_guidelines/

If you follow this you should pretty much be in the green zone. I see nothing that disallows this as the users who receives the invites are perfectly able to just click "ignore". Motd ads should be more in the grey zone if you ask me considering you actually gain revenue from a third party using valve's content as a direct medium, but you don't see valve handing out GSLT bans for that.

TL;DR: As long as Valve doesn't lose profit you're good.

You don't normally ask for permission when inviting people to steam groups anyway


Attaching the sp file i am basing this plug-in off.
