Hi, i've been trying to hook VGUI menu "teammenu" to block it showing and show a menu instead when players press "M" in CS:GO

I've read some posts about this but i still don't figure it out, my attempts to test are crashing my server.

Found this by neuroToxin

PHP Code:

public void OnPluginStart()
{
    UserMsg umVGUIMenu = GetUserMessageId("VGUIMenu");
    if (umVGUIMenu == INVALID_MESSAGE_ID)
        SetFailState("UserMsg `umVGUIMenu` not found!");
    
    HookUserMessage(umVGUIMenu, OnVGUIMenu, true);
    g_hOnGetClientVGUIUrl = CreateGlobalForward("OnGetClientVGUIUrl", ET_Single, Param_Cell, Param_String, Param_String, Param_String);
}

public Action OnVGUIMenu(UserMsg msg_id, Protobuf msg, const int[] players, int playersNum, bool reliable, bool init)
{
    char name[7];
    msg.ReadString("name", name, sizeof(name));
    
    int client = players[0];
    PrintToConsole(client, "> OnVGUIMenu(name='%s', show=%d)", name, msg.ReadBool("show"));
    
    if (!StrEqual(name, "info"))
        return Plugin_Continue;
    
    Protobuf subkey[3]; int subkeylookup[3];
    for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++)
    {
        subkey[i] = msg.ReadRepeatedMessage("subkeys", i);
        subkey[i].ReadString("name", name, sizeof(name));
        //PrintToConsole(client, "> OnVGUIMenu.subkeys[%d].name='%s'", i, name);
        
        if (StrEqual(name, "title"))
        {
            subkeylookup[0] = i;
            subkey[i].ReadString("str", g_sTitle, sizeof(g_sTitle));
            //PrintToConsole(client, "> OnVGUIMenu.subkeys[%d].str='%s'", i, g_sTitle);
        }
        else if (StrEqual(name, "type"))
        {
            subkeylookup[1] = i;
            subkey[i].ReadString("str", g_sType, sizeof(g_sType));
            //PrintToConsole(client, "> OnVGUIMenu.subkeys[%d].str='%s'", i, g_sType);
        }
        else if (StrEqual(name, "msg"))
        {
            subkeylookup[2] = i;
            subkey[i].ReadString("str", g_sMessage, sizeof(g_sMessage));
            //PrintToConsole(client, "> OnVGUIMenu.subkeys[%d].str='%s'", i, g_sMessage);
        }
    }
    
    if (StrEqual(g_sType, "1") && StrEqual(g_sMessage, "motd"))
    {
        Action result;
        Call_StartForward(g_hOnGetClientVGUIUrl);
        Call_PushCell(client);
        Call_PushString(g_sTitle);
        Call_PushString(g_sType);
        Call_PushString(g_sMessage);
        Call_Finish(result);
        
        if (result == Plugin_Stop)
        {
            PrintToConsole(client, "> MOTD BLOCKED");
            msg.SetBool("show", false);
            delete subkey[0];
            delete subkey[1];
            delete subkey[2];
            return Plugin_Continue;
        }
        
        if (result == Plugin_Changed)
        {
            subkey[subkeylookup[0]].SetString("str", g_sTitle);
            subkey[subkeylookup[1]].SetString("str", g_sType);
            subkey[subkeylookup[2]].SetString("str", g_sMessage);
            
            //PrintToConsole(client, "> OnVGUIMenu.title='%s'", g_sTitle);
            PrintToConsole(client, "> OnVGUIMenu.type='%s'", g_sType);
            PrintToConsole(client, "> OnVGUIMenu.msg='%s'", g_sMessage);
        }
    }
    
    delete subkey[0];
    delete subkey[1];
    delete subkey[2];
    return Plugin_Continue;
} 


Can someone help me understand how to properly do this?

Start with this:

PHP Code:


public void OnPluginStart()
{
    UserMsg umVGUIMenu = GetUserMessageId("VGUIMenu");
    if (umVGUIMenu == INVALID_MESSAGE_ID)
        SetFailState("UserMsg `umVGUIMenu` not found!");
    
    HookUserMessage(umVGUIMenu, OnVGUIMenu, true);
}

public Action OnVGUIMenu(UserMsg msg_id, Protobuf msg, const int[] players, int playersNum, bool reliable, bool init)
{
    char name[64];
    msg.ReadString("name", name, sizeof(name));
   LogMessage("vgui name: %s", name);
} 


See if its printing something, but with panorama this no more works...

Returned this:

PHP Code:

L 01/05/2021 - 14:18:41: [test.smx] vgui name: specmenu
L 01/05/2021 - 14:18:41: [test.smx] vgui name: specgui
L 01/05/2021 - 14:18:41: [test.smx] vgui name: overview 


doesnt block it with this code:

PHP Code:

public Action OnVGUIMenu(UserMsg msg_id, Protobuf msg, const int[] players, int playersNum, bool reliable, bool init){
    
    char name[64];
    msg.ReadString("name", name, sizeof(name));
    
    int client = players[0];
    
    if (StrEqual(name, "specmenu") || StrEqual(name, "specgui"))
        return Plugin_Continue; // tried with _Stop and _Handled
} 


but it still opens when i press 'M', maybe im not getting right how to work with these hooks

You should search for "team" or "teammenu", but VGUIMenu doesn't trigger teammenu anymore with panorama. You cannot hook it and cannot block it.

Valve continues not giving a f about community servers in csgo.. there are so many less customization than other games
