Reply With Quote #1

Hia, first post, just learning the language for these plugins and having some trouble digging into it unguided. I'm trying to be able to run create a script that makes the console run a command only once on capture of a point. Do I need to have it once per point (like an index of each point across cp_dustbowl) with an array or something? Or is there a cleaner way to do it?

As a point of reference, the command I wish to run is sm_addtime 600.

For running a command on point capture you can do:

PHP Code:
public OnPluginStart()
{
    
HookEvent("teamplay_point_captured"TeamplayPointCaptured);
}

public 
TeamplayPointCaptured(Handle eventchar[] namebool dontBroadcast)
{    
    
ServerCommand("sm_addtime 600")

As far as limiting the command to only run once per point I'm not sure too sure. Please share if you end up finding the solution.

I use the attached plugin to reward individual TF2 players who capture the control point.

The plugin uses the teamplay_point_captured event mentioned above by Sreaper. It uses code previously posted by the very talented Bacardi to determine which players captured the point by name. I added a bit more code to give each human player who captured a small buff for a five seconds and cash reward. The plugin also posts a notice to the server console showing who captured the point.

aaaaa I can't compile what I'm made now >.>

PHP Code:
#include <sourcemod>
#include <sdktools>

#pragma semicolon 1

#define PLUGIN_VERSION "1.0"

public Plugin myinfo 
{
    
name "Cap and Command",
    
author "Nightfall",
    
description "Run commands on point capture",
    
version PLUGIN_VERSION,
    
url "notapplicable"
}
public 
OnPluginStart()
{
    
HookEvent("teamplay_point_captured"TeamplayPointCaptured);
}

public 
TeamplayPointCaptured(Handle eventchar[] namebool dontBroadcast);
{    
    
ServerCommand("sm_addtime 600")

With your help on how to hook onto the point being captured, I at least have more done than before. Compiler insists that I need a semicolon on that last line, or did I not need to include pragma?

So dang used to brackets that now that they're useless I feel like I wasted time in college on java courses ;_;


Ah, I answered my own question double checking my work. Now the compiler won't actually spit out the spx though. Complains it has no ability to write to (...sourcemod-1.10.0\compiled\<filename>)

Neeeeevermind, I answered my own question again. I forget that older scripts don't do you the favor of just up and making directories for you when you lack them. Also kind of figured that a shortcut to the compiler would let it run as normal, not from where the sc was made. Not entirely bad, lets me have a compiled folder on the surface.

Well for anyone else that wants to know the answer, #pragma semicolon 1, helps you maintain good programming practices but not required to include in your plugins.

The first reason it failed was because ServerCommand("sm_addtime 600"); was expecting semicolon at the end since you required them to be there.

The second one failed because you added a ; to the end of the hook callback definition which isn't allowed. public TeamplayPointCaptured(Handle event, char[] name, bool dontBroadcast);
