About : I readlly don't have a clue how to name this pdata and value related to it, the offset is named by default m_bIsC4. 1<<8 exists because sometimes when you divide the offset by its type (int, short, etc..) it does not give an integer value, that's why there is a flag (generally 1<<0 or 1<<. So, a name would be m_fGrenade and (1<< IS_C4.

About send_bomb_location(), I would like you explain why you send 2 times the messages.

Anyway about the code, it seems acceptable.

[MPNumB]

So it's:

PHP Code:

#define m_bIsC4 96
#define IS_C4   (1<<8)
//#define m_fGrenade 114 // my code doesn't use this one 


?

Also about sending twice, do you mean this part of the code:

PHP Code:


            message_begin(MSG_TYPE, g_iMsgId_HostagePos, _, iPlrId);
            write_byte(1);
            write_byte(RADARID_OFFSET);
            engfunc(EngFunc_WriteCoord, fOrigin[0]);
            engfunc(EngFunc_WriteCoord, fOrigin[1]);
            engfunc(EngFunc_WriteCoord, fOrigin[2]);
            message_end();
            
            message_begin(MSG_TYPE, g_iMsgId_HostageK, _, iPlrId);
            write_byte(RADARID_OFFSET);
            message_end();
            
            message_begin(MSG_TYPE, g_iMsgId_HostageK, _, iPlrId);
            write_byte((RADARID_OFFSET-1));
            message_end();
            
            message_begin(MSG_TYPE, g_iMsgId_HostagePos, _, iPlrId);
            write_byte(0);
            write_byte((RADARID_OFFSET-1));
            engfunc(EngFunc_WriteCoord, fOrigin[0]);
            engfunc(EngFunc_WriteCoord, fOrigin[1]);
            engfunc(EngFunc_WriteCoord, fOrigin[2]);
            message_end(); 


? If yes - answer is simple. You see, when you send HostagePos and then HostageK, than dot on radar is red, and is blinking for about 2 seconds, and then just goes away. This method I am using for notification of player deaths (red blinking dot). Now comes the confusing part...

Terrorists can see only HostageK message on the radar - they can't see the original HostagePos (blue dot) message. However CTs can see the blue dot on their radar. So, cause red dot is already used by teammate death, I need a new color on the radar. However only way to remove blue dot is by fullupdate, or HostageK (what makes it red). That's why I came up with a good solution - by sending HostagePos, HostageK, and HostagePos (for an other ID this one), result will be that dot will blink not in red or blue, but in 3 colors at once (red, blue, but mostly purple/pink). So in result people won't get confused is that a c4 over there, or a teammate died.

Ya, it's confusing... Easier way to answer your question is: this method allows CTs to see a different color dot on the radar, so people wont get confused is it C4 or death of a teammate. NOTE: This method doesn't work for terrorists.

P.S. What's the offset name for 114 player team? It's not here, and it's not here... =P

[Arkshine]

114 would be more m_iGrenadeId or m_iGrenadeType something like. Using m_bIsC4 & IS_C4 is acceptable too. Choose what you want, there is not known reference for that.

Thanks for the explanation.

Waiting some feedbacks the new version is working and I guess it will be approved.

[MPNumB]

No, I mean 114 for "player" entity - it's cs_[s]get_user_team() thing - I was not able to find the offset name of it. Once will have it - will update.

[Arkshine]

114 = m_iTeam

[MPNumB]

Updated to 1.2
Changed: Optimized the code (changed pdata offset names).

[Arkshine]

I guess it's ok. Approved.

[Mofforg]

Is this code better than yours if i need only to show dead teammates in radar?

PHP Code:

#include <amxmodx>
#include <hamsandwich>
#include <fakemeta>

public plugin_init() set_task(115.0,"load")

public load()
{
register_plugin( "Show dead (by red stripe) in radar", "-", "-" );
RegisterHam( Ham_Killed, "player", "ham_Killed_Post", 1 );
}

public ham_Killed_Post( id, Attacker, shouldgib )
{
    new Float:flLocation[ 3 ];
    pev( id, pev_origin, flLocation );
    new players[ 32 ], num, player;
    get_players( players, num );
    for( new i ; i < num ; i ++ )
    {
        player = players[ i ];
        if( get_user_team( player ) != get_user_team( id ) || !is_user_alive( player ) )
        continue;
            
        message_begin( MSG_ONE_UNRELIABLE, get_user_msgid( "HostagePos" ), { 0, 0, 0 }, player );
        write_byte( player );
        write_byte( id )    ;    
        engfunc( EngFunc_WriteCoord, flLocation[ 0 ] );
        engfunc( EngFunc_WriteCoord, flLocation[ 1 ] );
        engfunc( EngFunc_WriteCoord, flLocation[ 2 ] );
        message_end();
                
        message_begin( MSG_ONE_UNRELIABLE, get_user_msgid( "HostageK" ), { 0, 0, 0 }, player );
        write_byte( id );
        message_end();
    }
} 


[MPNumB]

Might be glitchy in some scenarios.

[Mofforg]

Umm? Why? Installed a year already on few servers. No crashed, no seg fault. It looks like that all dead players are displayed.
