I'm trying the kinds of commands listed in the topic's subject, but I'm running into some issues. I've got CBasePlayer working, but I need to create a CTakeDamageInfo object to give CBasePlayer::Event_Killed() in order for the player to actually die. If I just include game_shared/takedamageinfo.h, I get issues with undefined symbols, but if I try to build the cpp file I end up having to build twenty other cpp files and my plugin ends up being like 10 MB. Is there any way to avoid this? I've tried scanning the memory for the function the constructor calls, then writing my own constructor that calls it, but then I get this segfault:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Granted this is in DoD:S, but in CS:S I can't even get to that point. CBasePlayer::IsAlive() always returns false in CS:S for some reason and I have no idea why.

I'm also having this same issue with CBaseEntity::SetMoveType() and CBaseEntity::SetAbsOrigin(), which aren't defined unless I build twenty different cpp files. The former is required for noclip and the latter is required for teleporting players. I've tried scanning memory for those but when I use them it segfaults there too. The pointers should be valid.

Is there a way to do this without building all those files and without scanning memory for functions?

[c0ldfyr3]

ExecClient( pEntity, "kill\n" )

[c0ldfyr3]

teleport is pBase->Teleport....

[c0ldfyr3]

Just looked..

pBase->SetMoveType( MOVETYPE_NOCLIP, MOVECOLLIDE_DEFAULT );

[showdax]

Executing kill on the client isn't reliable at all because they can just alias over it and the command will then do nothing.

I already have the prototype for SetMoveType, but that doesn't help me use it. I need a definition, which is in the cpp file, but compiling that requires compiling a thousand other things which is just a nightmare.

I tried using Teleport() and just setting the position, but that didn't affect anything.

Edit: Actually it stuff seems to work in CS:S now but the segfaults are the same.

Teleport works fine, I use it for my slap =)

As per the kill thing, i didnt think they could alias over that ?

I think you can alias over engine-> but not helpers->

Maybe Teleport just doesn't work under DoD:S, which is what I'm testing this under mainly. I noticed my slap command worked under CS:S but not DoD:S.

You can definitely alias over kill though:

] alias kill what
] kill
Unknown command: what

You can even do other stupid things like making an alias alias itself and causing an infinite loop and crash. You can set aliases through a server plugin too which is even dumber. There's no way that I know of to unset an alias though.

helpers-> version causes crashes on linux machines.

Teleport crashes on DoD:Source which also means that slap (uses teleport) crashes too

It's just the risk we take by using the basentity.h header file assuming the binary image will match.
