Recently a friend asked me if it was possible to add more teams to CS:S (Something which I had done in previous versions, but not the most recent one), so I whipped up a little plugin to set the player's m_iTeamNum. Once I did that I realized that it would be even easier to just make something that gets/sets almost all of a player's properties..

Using it is as simple as typing set_ent_prop -1 m_iTeamNum 4 (to set your team number to a previously unused fourth team).

Full list of commands:

• set_ent_prop <entity> <prop> <value> - sets the value of an entity property (use -1 to target yourself)
• get_ent_prop <entity> <prop> - gets the value of an entity property (use -1 to target yourself)

It will work on any platform that sourcemod does. Use sm_dump_netprops_xml <file> to create a file that lists all properties.

Note: The commands provided by this plugin are extremely powerful and dangerous. This plugin should NEVER be run on anything other than a protected test server (as a single mistake could cause a server crash...this is a plugin solely for ease of development).

Changelog:

2.0

• Almost completely rewritten
• Removed unnecessary commands - it now will autodetect both the fieldtype (Send/Data) and datatype (int/float/ent/vec/string)

1.0

• Initial release

Interesting. I will try it

For a developer it can REALLY spark ideas. I was playing around with the m_flModelSize property, added m_flStepSize to it and got the idea for a mod that allows a player to "squish" another player if their stepsize and modelsize are larger than the other player by enough.

I haven't had time to test this version yet, but due to a few important improvements I've decided to upload it anyway.

- Added a CVar to switch all commands between admin (requiring the CHEATS flag) and a normal console command.
- Added some form of safety to setting/getting props, it now checks to see if the prop exists, providing a helpful message and removing the annoyance of receiving a "command does not exist" message.

This is quite nice, I can use this with tEntDev, since tEntDev doesn't seem to support setting vector and float.

Hmmm...I actually have a mostly complete entity development plugin...maybe I should fold some of that into here...unlike (from what I've seen of) tEntDev, it allowed the creation of entities as well.

Uhm, you need to add appropriate check on creating entities then, few of them could crash the server without proper info.

[necavi]

Well, it always was a "use at your own risk" type of thing, as the idea is to have a completely unlimited system.

Not to mention that it IS pretty easy to crash a server with this plugin already, this plugin is already geared entirely towards development servers, nothing else. Servers that you REALLY don't care if they crash.

Yeaah, true.
EDIT: BTW, can this target to other entities instead of players?

[necavi]

It can, the ONLY issue is whether or not %N would work on entities other than players, basically.
