yes it is used for the scope on the sniper its default Mouse3 , it might be a while untill i check it out, im currently making another survivor and intercepting 2k scenes takes a while to do xD

Hi MasterMind420 Love the plugin but can you add Added cookie support to save player's preference that way when players return to the server they won't have to type in the command all the time.
Thanks Krufftys Killers

ah yes that is what i thought so IN_ZOOM is what you want I believe, we cant actually hook specific buttons correct? Either way i'll probably get to it before you, and i will see about making it highly configurable, wether people want double tap, 2 button combo, all the good stuff.

Ahh nice, just make a globle bool, true for double click false for button combo and remember to filter bots they dont have a screen xD

Or you can make a globle array for int's and make 1 = double tap or 0 = combo button, and with int's you can use a switch instead, but i prefer switch

Hmmm, there is a way --> through OnPlayerRunCmd. You can hook there the buttons you need to activate the auto tpm. It can be done by:

PHP Code:

public Action:OnPlayerRunCmd(client, &buttons, &impulse, Float:vel[3], Float:angles[3], &weapon)
{
       if(client <= 0 || !IsClientInGame(client) || IsFakeClient(client))
       {
               return Plugin_Continue;
       }
        
       if(buttons & IN_ZOOM) // even if MMB is not the default setting for others. In other words, any keys that players selected to use scope will still be included.
       {
               // Add your code here..
       }
       
       return Plugin_Continue;
} 


Sorry if I gave you old syntax because I'm really used to it as the new one makes me all go dumb. Probably, if Sourcemod removes the old syntax, I'm gonna need some help with my friend.

np cravenge, i actually screwed around with it last night, with something similar...my goal with it is to probably allow the server owner to set what they want to use, IN_ZOOM IN_DUCK IN_USE. Single tap, double tap(alittle more difficult to do but think i can manage)These are just examples, which would be provided with a convar, i'm all about people having options. One thing that always drove me nutz and actually got me to start learning sourcepawn is that people should have options for what to use as a trigger key, which is easily doable...what someone may think is a good thing to use, others may beg to differ, i'm all about options. Obviously certain trigger options won't work well, but i'll deal with that when it comes down to testing...granted IN_ZOOM was a good choice by ludastar, i can see minimal conflicts with this, but i may try to give other alternatives as well...we'll see when i get around to it....my priority at the moment is cookie support to save peoples preference...as always any help and examples are appreciated...

If you want to add cookie support, how about this? I don't what cookie TPV uses but I'll try to Google it.

PHP Code:

#include <clientprefs>
#include <sdkhooks>
new bool:isCurrentlyInTPV;

public OnPluginStart()
{
        isCurrentlyInTPV = RegClientCookie("_____________", "Is Player Currently Using Third Person View", CookieAccess_Private);
}

public OnClientPutInServer(client)
{
    SDKHook(client, SDKHook_WeaponSwitch, OnWeaponSwitch);
}

public OnClientDisconnect(client)
{
       SDKUnhook(client, SDKHook_WeaponSwitch, OnWeaponSwitch);
       
       if(PlayerWantsAutoTPV(client)) // I don't know what you used
       {
               SetClientCookie(client, isCurrentlyInTPV, "1");
       }
       else
       {
               SetClientCookie(client, isCurrentlyInTPV, "0");
       }
}

public OnClientCookiesCached(client)
{
    new String:cookie[5];
    GetClientCookie(client, HasLaser, cookie, 5);
        if(StringToInt(cookie[0])
        {
                CheckMeleeWeapon(client); // Maybe this or a repeating 1 second CreateTimer should be able to handle and do TPV checking.
        }
}

CheckMeleeWeapon(client)
{
       new cWeap = GetPlayerWeaponSlot(client, 1;
       if(cWeap <= 0 || !IsValidEntity(cWeap))
       {
                FPVRevert(client);
       }
       
       decl String:cWeapClass[128];

       if(IsValidEdict(cWeap))
       {
                GetEdictClassname(cWeap, cWeapClass, sizeof(cWeapClass));
                if(StrEqual(cWeapClass, "weapon_pistol") || StrEqual(cWeapClass, "weapon_pistol_magnum"))
                {
                           FPVRevert(client);
                }
                else
                {
                           AutoTPV(client);
                }
       }
)

public Action:OnWeaponSwitch(client, weapon)
{
        weapon = GetEntPropEnt(client, Prop_Send, "m_hActiveWeapon");
        if(AreMeleeWeapons(weapon))
    {
        AutoTPV(client);
    }
    else
    {
        FPVRevert(client);
    }
        return Plugin_Continue;
}

AutoTPV(client)
{
        SetEntPropEnt(client, Prop_Send, "m_hObserverTarget", 0);
    SetEntProp(client, Prop_Send, "m_iObserverMode", 1);
    SetEntProp(client, Prop_Send, "m_bDrawViewmodel", 0);

Just a rough idea about how i would go about it

public Action:OnPlayerRunCmd(client, button, impulse, Float;vec[3],  Float:angles[3], weapon)/// what ever you want better to use public  Action:OnPlayerRunCmd()
{
    if(IsFakeClient(client) ||  !IsClientInGame(Client))/// no need to check if the client is connected  because he can't send cmds while he is not connected xD
        return Plugin_Continue;
        
    new Float:fTime = GetGameTime();
    
    if(button & IN_ZOOM)
    {
        if(fTime - g_fTime[client] <= 0.5)
        {
            if(Third_Melee[client])
            {
                Third_Melee[client] = false;
                SetEntPropFloat(client, Prop_Send, "m_TimeForceExternalView", 0.0);
            }
            else
            {
                Third_Melee[client] = true;
                SetEntPropFloat(client, Prop_Send, "m_TimeForceExternalView", 99999.3);
            }
            return Plugin_Continue;
        }
        
        fTime = g_fTime[client];
    }
}

But if your sticking with on gameframe your doing alot of everywhere try lighten the load about like addthing this = MAXFRAMECHECK

#define MAX_FRAMECHECK 10
new Frameskip = 0; 

public OnGameFrame()
{    
     if(Frameskip != MAX_FRAMECHECK || !IsServerProcessing())// no need to  do it every frame doing all these calls everyframe you can call it after  everyother frame or after 5frames xD saves cpu
    {
        FrameSkip += 1;
        return;
    }
    
    Frameskip = 0;
    
    for(new client=1; client<=MaxClients; client++)
    {
         if(!IsClientConnected(client) || IsFakeClient(client) ||  GetClientTeam(client) != 2)//no need to check bots for stuff or anyone  else who is not connected or anyone not on team 2 (This is cleaner and  faster and usees less cpu :D)
            return;
        
        if(IsPlayerAlive(client))// after this all we need to do is the check if the player is alive we did the rest above :3
        {
            if(Third_Melee[client] == true)
            {
                new String:sClassName[64];
                new WeaponSlot = GetPlayerWeaponSlot(client, GetConVarInt(l4d2_tm_slot));
                if (WeaponSlot == -1) { return; }
                new ActiveWeapon = GetEntPropEnt(client, Prop_Send, "m_hActiveWeapon");
                GetEdictClassname(WeaponSlot, sClassName, sizeof(sClassName));
                 if(StrEqual(sClassName, "weapon_melee") &&  WeaponSlot == ActiveWeapon || StrEqual(sClassName, "weapon_chainsaw")  && WeaponSlot == ActiveWeapon)
                {
                    SetEntPropFloat(client, Prop_Send, "m_TimeForceExternalView", 99999.3);
                }
                else
                {
                    SetEntPropFloat(client, Prop_Send, "m_TimeForceExternalView", 0.0);
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Hope this helps

Sorry for the delay, havent forgotten about the requests, just been busy and lazy...
Anyway, later today i'll be releasing version 1.4 which adds client preferences cookie support
