[Any] EntHax
Version 0.08

Description:

Small plugin designed for server admins and developers that want to peek into what a maps entities are and change their values in game. Get/Set Float/Int property values for entities from your console.

Features:

1. Gets Entity Indices based on Classname
   -- If you want to find the entity index for a player, func_physbox, or a func_tanktrain this will find it.
2. Gets property value for a given Entity Index
   -- This gets the CURRENT value for any property for a given entity index.
3. Sets property value for a given Entity Index
   -- This sets the CURRENT value for any property for a given entity index.
4. Respawns Entities
   -- This is sometimes needed for the set values to take effect.

Commands:

• getentindex <classname> | Gets ALL Entity Indexes based on Classname | Example: getentindex player
• entpropint <index> <property> | GETS int VALUE of PROPERTY for given ENTITY INDEX | Example: entpropint 1 m_iHealth
• entpropint <index> <property> <int> | SETS int VALUE of PROPERTY for given ENTITY INDEX | Example: entpropint 1 m_iHealth 3000
• entpropfloat <index> <property> | GETS float VALUE of PROPERTY for given ENTITY INDEX | Example: entpropfloat 1 m_flModelScale
• entpropfloat <index> <property> <float> | SETS float VALUE of PROPERTY for given ENTITY INDEX | Example: entpropfloat 1 m_flModelScale 0.3
• entpropstring <index> <property> | SETS string VALUE of PROPERTY for given ENTITY INDEX | Example: entpropstring 1 m_iName
• entpropstring <index> <property> <string> | GETS string VALUE of PROPERTY for given ENTITY INDEX | Example: entpropstring 1 m_iName "This is a new targetname"
• entrespawn <index> | Respawns Entity at given Index | Example: entrespawn 1
• sv_clear | Clears the console

Changelog:

Spoiler

• 0.05d
  • Initial version.
• 0.06
  • Corrected a command.
• 0.06a
  • Corrected print output to look nicer.
• 0.08
  • Grey83 rewrote entire program for new 1.8 SM Thank you!
  • Got rid of getpropint and setpropint, now it's all just entpropint etc... Number of arguments controls which command is run. (Grey83's idea)
  • Now includes validation and error messages (Grey83's idea)
  • Now supports strings!

Installation:

1. Just place EntHax.smx into /tf/addonds/sourcemod/plugins folder
   Need SM1.8_stable to compile

Final Thoughts:
I'm not really sure if others are going to use this. It's a very advanced / developer oriented plugin. But I did the work to create it so thought I'd share it.

Where do you get the entity properties from?

The entity properties such as "m_iHealth" are all available from running the following command.
sm_dump_netprops netprops_example.txt
You'll then find the netprops file containing a multitude of properties you can try out. Look in the root tf2 directory for the neprops.txt file.
NOTE: The plugin only supports getting/setting int and float at this time

I don't undestand what do command respawnent <index>, But the plugin written in such a way will work better.
Changes:

• Reduced the number of commands without reducing the functionality of the plugin
  • getentindex - Gets ALL Entity Indexes based on Classname
  • entpropint - Gets/Sets int VALUE of PROPERTY for given ENTITY INDEX*
  • entpropfloat - Gets/Sets float VALUE of PROPERTY for given ENTITY INDEX*
  • respawnent - Respawns Entity at given Index
  • sv_clear - Clears the console
• Added validation of data entered
• Rewritten using the new syntax (1.7+)
  Need SM1.8_stable to compile

*if the number of arguments equal 2, then You can GET value of choosed property
if the number of arguments equal or more than 3, then You can SET value of choosed property

Very nice improvements! I'm implementing these features into the main plugin and I'll keep credit mentioning your contributions. Thank you!

By the way, I'm nearly done with get/set string which will help when getting/setting targetnames etc.

You may find that certain values dont apply until an entity is respawned. The other day I observed this while editing the collision group of a spinning entity. You may never need this command, but I found it useful in my testing. Fun fact: if you respawn a player, they actually respawn as if they just died.

What part of your rewrite is new syntax?.... answered it myself... HasEntProp hmm...

But really man, thanks for the help. You improved a ton.

[Grey83]

What part of your rewrite is new syntax?

Has completely rewritten.
Just insert in fist lines #pragma newdecls required and try compile Your plugin. =)

And now commands are really available only to the admin (You can replace a flag of access having changed value of a constant ACCESS_FLAG).

[Grey83]

I once did for myself a similar pluin. It also able to get/set values of string, handle and vector variables.
But this worked only for the administrator oneself.

val <name> <type[d|s][i|f|b|s|h|v]> [<value>] for example: val m_bDucked si

Grey83 I figured out why you were confused about entrespawn.
It's because you had "if(args < 2)" when it needs "if(args < 1)". You're only supposed to pass a single argument to that command.

[Grey83]

you had "if(args < 2)" when it needs "if(args < 1)"

just CTRL+C, CTRL+V from previous callback =)

I did not understand what effect gives DispatchSpawn() for existing entities.
