How to detect TF2's "fullmoon"

Hi,

is there any way in TF2 to find out if fullmoon is set or not?

Code:

#include <tf2>

new bool:bFullMoon;

public Action:TF2_OnIsHolidayActive( TFHoliday:holiday, &bool:bEnabled )
{
    if( holiday == TFHoliday_FullMoon )
        bFullMoon = bEnabled;
    return Plugin_Continue;
}

But isn't that function there to manipulate the server result of that check? So that it would call it with holiday == TFHoliday_FullMoon even when it's not halloween, just with the default return value of false?

What I need would be the real result of that function

If it's a fullmoon, bFullMoon will be true, false otherwise (so it reset it).
You're not required to change current holiday mode/state.
and FullMoon isn't same as Halloween.
however, TF2_OnIsHolidayActive is calling about each frame.

The same function is used to change the holiday, yes. The enabled cvar is a reference. Changing it and returning Plugin_Changed will change the server's notion of whether a specific holiday is in effect.

This is how TF2 Force Holidays plugin works (and presumably how the tf_forced_holiday cvar works; this cvar is restricted to just one holiday at a time, which is why the plugin exists in the first place).
