I'm looking to trigger stuff when setup begins. A counterpart to the TF2 event teamplay_setup_finished, I would like to find out when setup starts.

Surely someone has done this before?

Thanks!

teamplay_round_start

Having said that, teamplay_round_start also triggers on maps that don't have setup time. You have to check the team_round_timer entities to find out which one is active and whether it has setup time. Like this, I think:

PHP Code:

#include <sdktools>

public OnPluginStart()
{
    HookEvent("teamplay_round_start", RoundStart);
}

public RoundStart(Handle:event, const String:name[], bool:dontBroadcast)
{
    new bool:hasSetup = CheckSetup();

}

bool:CheckSetup()
{
    new roundTimer = -1;
    
    while ((roundTimer = FindEntityByClassname(roundTimer, "team_round_timer")) != -1)
    {
        // Find current timer  Check if map is KOTH or Arena before doing this
        if (!GetEntProp(roundTimer, Prop_Data, "m_bIsDisabled"))
        {
            if (GetEntProp(roundTimer, Prop_Data, "m_nSetupTimeLength") > 0)
            {
                return true;
            }
        }
    }
    
    return false;
} 


I haven't tested this. Also, some maps may have the timers paused rather than disabled.

Thanks, this looks like what I'm after.

I'll try it out and let you know what I find.

BTW, are these entity names the same ones you see in Hammer?

How/where did you find the names for stuff like "m_bIsDisabled" and "m_nSetupTimeLength"?

Apparently you can get these by using the obscure* built-in SourceMod commands sm_dump_netprops and sm_dump_datamaps as discussed here:
Docs On These?


I ended up just downloading Powerlord's copies (link in the above thread) after noticing other ppl complaining about those commands causing server crashes.
