Hello ! I've been trying to make a deadswap plugin , it's supposed to store the positions of dead players then when someone calls sm_deadswap open up a menu to teleport to dead players, I use GetClientAbsOrigin or GetEntProp(client,PROP_SEND,m_vecOrigin,Posit ionDead[client]) i tried both, inside Player_death event with hook mode pre, And then inside the menu handler of DeadSwap menu, I Use a TeleportEntity to tp to the dead player's location by doing TeleportEntity(client,PositionDead[client])
But i noticed that everytime the x ,y cordinate work fine, but the z cordinate get shifted by like +74 for some weird reasons here's my code:

PHP Code:

#include <sourcemod>
#include <sdktools>
#include <sdkhooks>
#include <cstrike>




float g_fDeathLocation[MAXPLAYERS+1][3];
float g_fDeathAngles[MAXPLAYERS+1][3];
int g_iWasDucking[MAXPLAYERS+1];

public void OnPluginStart()
{
RegConsoleCmd("sm_deadswap", Command_DeadSwap);
HookEvent("player_death", Event_PlayerDeathPre, EventHookMode_Pre);
}

public Action Event_PlayerDeathPre(Event event,const char[] name,bool dontBroadcast)
{
GetDeathLocationInfo(GetClientOfUserId(event.GetInt("userid")));
}

public Action Event_RoundStart(Event event,const char[] name,bool dontBroadcast)
{
    for (int i = 1; i <= MaxClients; i++)
    {
        ResetLocation(i);
    }
}

public Action Command_DeadSwap(int client, int args)
{
    Menu menu_dswap = new Menu(MenuHandlerDeadSwap);
    menu_dswap.SetTitle("To which dead you want to tp");
    for(int i = 1; i <= MaxClients; i++)
    {
        if(IsClientInGame(i)){
            if(!IsPlayerAlive(i))
            {
                if (g_fDeathLocation[client][0] != 0 || g_fDeathLocation[client][1] != 0 || g_fDeathLocation[client][2] != 0)
                {
                char id[64];
                char name[64];
                IntToString(i, id, sizeof(id));
                GetClientName(i, name, sizeof(name));
                menu_dswap.AddItem(id, name);
                }
            }
        }    
    }
    menu_dswap.ExitButton = false;
    menu_dswap.Display(client, 20);
 
    return Plugin_Handled;
}

public int MenuHandlerDeadSwap(Menu menu, MenuAction action, int client, int param)
{
    /* If an option was selected, tell the client about the item. */
    if (action == MenuAction_Select)
    {
        char id[32];
        menu.GetItem(param, id, sizeof(id));
        int cl = StringToInt(id);
        if (g_iWasDucking[cl])
        {
        SetEntProp(client, Prop_Send, "m_bDucked", 1);
        }
        TeleportEntity(client, g_fDeathLocation[cl], g_fDeathAngles[cl], NULL_VECTOR);
    }
    /* If the menu was cancelled, print a message to the server about it. */
    else if (action == MenuAction_Cancel)
    {
        PrintToServer("Client %d's menu was cancelled.  Reason: %d", client, param);
    }
    /* If the menu has ended, destroy it */
    else if (action == MenuAction_End)
    {
        delete menu;
    }
}

void GetDeathLocationInfo(int client)
{
    GetClientAbsOrigin(client, g_fDeathLocation[client]);
    GetClientAbsAngles(client, g_fDeathAngles[client]);
    g_iWasDucking[client] = GetEntProp(client, Prop_Send, "m_bDucked");
}

void ResetLocation(int client)
{
    g_fDeathLocation[client] = NULL_VECTOR;
    g_fDeathAngles[client]   = NULL_VECTOR;
    g_iWasDucking[client]    = 0;
} 


Thanks for your time (PS: I could maybe do a -64 on the positions but i still wouldn't understand why the position is Shifted upwards because normally Both TeleportEntity and GetEntProp or GetClientAbsOrigin work on the m_VecOrigin Value so they would tp the client on his foot)

You could try GetClientEyePosition
https://sm.alliedmods.net/new-api/sd...entEyePosition

GetClientAbsOrigin is origin, under player model (depends model).
Then GetClientEyePosition is behind head.

Thanks but I really wanted to understand why it does this behaviour because if all this are using and setting m_VecOrigin why do I endup with a player significally above the normal positions maybe like 74 units (even if they have the same player model) because they should both set the same value which is m_vecOrigin

I saw this behaviour also in the Hrespawn plugin, a plugin which respawns a player at his death location, he shifts the death location Z cordinate by a -64 if he was not crouching at a -46 if he was crouching but I don't know why he does that. link for the Hrespawn plugin maybe that will help

Maybe something happen in same time when event player_death is executed and ragdoll spawned.
Another test you could try is make little timer, to delay before taking position.

*edit
Maybe Teleport is what it is.

[Nezur0s]

I am gonna try to use the came code just to tp a player to an other player and see if it teleport's correctly

**Maybe Teleport is what it is.** Didn't really understand you sorry I use a translate program can you explain ?

[Nezur0s]

You're right it's indeed that when I used the code in normal situation no death event it works just fine for some reasons the game tp's the client at his eye position when he dies (my theory is that for spectators so when he dies he get's put at the eye level and can spectate normally !) I am gonna put this in solved and bit a later post my solution

Found an other thing apparently in Player_Death event pre, The Player AbsOrigin and The player Eyeposition are in the same point (same cordinates in printchatall) and Thanks Bacardi for the help
