Well this is my first plugin so don't be so harsh on me

Current Version
1.6

Description

Basically, this is a spawn prevention plugin which uses blanks rather than godmode. Once the time period is up, players use real bullets. I got this idea from my clan's server which used the spawn prevention plugin with the HUD message, but players could still be killed.
Please tell me if anything isn't working

CVARS/Commands

amx_blanks <0|1> - Turns the program on and off.
mp_blanktime (Your Choice) - Amount of time in seconds blanks are enabled - default is 5.
amx_messages <0|1> - Turns the blanktime messages on/off. - Default is 1.

THANKS TO:
Suicid3 for proving my plugin didn't work.
Charr for fixing some stuff.
Kensai for leading me in circles

This plugin wont work like you want it to.
1) You dont do anything on a player spawn.
2) You have 3 registered commands

• 1) 2 dont have a function to go to
  2) the one that has a function doesnt do anything but show a message and change a cvar.

This plugin will set a players hitzones to be blanks when they connect and never take them off.

Its a nice try for first plugin but it just doesnt work.

#define PLUGIN "Blank Time" 
#define VERSION "1.0" 
#define AUTHOR "SatanWoJ, with help from Peli, and EKS" 

That's useless, since you don't use it anywhere. If your looking to give credits, just make a commented section and do it there.

I would agree with Suicide, nice idea, but bad code.

 register_concmd("amx_blanks","cmd_blanks",ADMIN_KICK, "0,1,")

I would change the "0,1," part to HOW you use it, something like this:

 register_concmd("amx_blanks","cmd_blanks",ADMIN_KICK, "<0|1> - Does whatever")

Hm. So... I have to create a function to work w/ players spawning?

And thx

Well....

I still don't see the problem -

public blanks_on(id) 
{ 
    if(get_cvar_num("mp_blanks") == 1) 
    { 
        set_task(0.1, "blanks", id) 
    } 
    return PLUGIN_CONTINUE 
} 
public blanks(id) 
{ 
    new Float:blanktime = get_cvar_float("mp_blanktime") 
    new Float:Blanks = get_cvar_float("mp_blanktime") 
    if(get_cvar_num("mp_messages") == 1) 
    { 
        set_hudmessage(255, 1, 1, -1.0, -1.0, 0, 6.0, blanktime, 0.1, 0.2, 4) 
        show_hudmessage(id, "Blanks are now enabled for %d seconds", Blanks) 
    } 
    set_task(Blanks, "blank_off", id) 
    return PLUGIN_HANDLED

Why doesn't this work??

>.>

Just so no one thinks I'm stupid, all I did was fix the compiling errors, I didn't even read it.

[Jordan]

Anyone??

[Kensai]

According to that, all "Blanks" does is make a HUD message.

You need the actual code that does wahtever, makes them fires blanks?

Maybe just have it so their damage is 0?

[Jordan]

Well I have it so that set_user_hitzones is 0 when the players join the server, but Suicid3 said that it won't turn off and when the players respawn nothing happens....

But, according to my code, it seems to me it's working - so I was wondering how to fix it so that it actually works o.O

Here's the full plugin code:

public plugin_init() 
{ 
    register_concmd("amx_blanks","cmd_blanks",ADMIN_KICK, "0|1") 
    register_concmd("amx_blanktime","cmd_blanktime",ADMIN_KICK,"1-5") 
    register_concmd("amx_blankmessages","cmd_blankmessages",ADMIN_KICK,"0|1") 
    register_plugin("Blank Spawn Prevention","1.0.","SatanWoJ") 
    register_cvar("mp_blanks","1") 
    register_cvar("mp_blanktime","5") 
    register_cvar("mp_messages","1") 
} 
//---------------------------------------------------------------// 
public client_putinserver(id) 
{ 
    new arg[4] 
    new VictimID = cmd_target(id,arg,3) 
    read_argv(1, arg, 3) 
    if (get_cvar_num("mp_blanks") > 0) 
        set_user_hitzones(VictimID, 0, 0) 
    else  
        set_user_hitzones(VictimID, 0, 255) 
} 
//---------------------------------------------------------------// 
public cmd_blanks(id,level,cid) 
{ 
    if(!cmd_access(id, level, cid,2)) 
        return 0; 
     
    new arg_str[3] 
    read_argv(1, arg_str, 3) 
    new arg = str_to_num(arg_str) 
    if(arg > 10 || arg < 1) 
    { 
        client_print(id, print_chat, "You have turned blanks on.") 
        return PLUGIN_HANDLED 
    } 
    else if (arg > 0 || arg < 11) 
    { 
        set_cvar_num("mp_blanktime", arg) 
        client_print(id, print_chat, "You have set the Blank Time to %d second(s)", arg) 
        return PLUGIN_CONTINUE 
    } 
     
    return 0; 
} 
//---------------------------------------------------------------// 
public blanks_on(id) 
{ 
    if(get_cvar_num("mp_blanks") == 1) 
    { 
        set_task(0.1, "blanks", id) 
    } 
    return PLUGIN_CONTINUE 
} 
public blanks(id) 
{ 
    new Float:blanktime = get_cvar_float("mp_blanktime") 
    new Float:Blanks = get_cvar_float("mp_blanktime") 
    if(get_cvar_num("mp_messages") == 1) 
    { 
        set_hudmessage(255, 1, 1, -1.0, -1.0, 0, 6.0, blanktime, 0.1, 0.2, 4) 
        show_hudmessage(id, "Blanks are now enabled for %d seconds", Blanks) 
    } 
    set_task(Blanks, "blank_off", id) 
    return PLUGIN_HANDLED 
} 
//---------------------------------------------------------------// 
public blank_off(id) 
{ 
    if(!is_user_connected(id)) 
    { 
        return PLUGIN_HANDLED 
    } 
    else 
    { 
        set_user_hitzones(id, 255) 
        return PLUGIN_HANDLED 
    } 
    return PLUGIN_HANDLED 
}

Huhm, very very strange code. Lol.

One question.

What's the difference between your cmds and cvars?

 register_concmd("amx_blanks","cmd_blanks",ADMIN_KICK, "0|1")  
    register_concmd("amx_blanktime","cmd_blanktime",ADMIN_KICK,"1-5")  
    register_concmd("amx_blankmessages","cmd_blankmessages",ADMIN_KICK,"0|1")  
    register_plugin("Blank Spawn Prevention","1.0.","SatanWoJ")  
    register_cvar("mp_blanks","1")  
    register_cvar("mp_blanktime","5")  
    register_cvar("mp_messages","1")

They all do the same thing, but one's an admin command and ones a cvar???

I would just make those CVARS, with Required access flags, if you want that.

register_cvar("amx_blanks",ADMIN_KICK,"1")  
    register_cvar("amx_blanktime",ADMIN_KICK,"5")  
    register_cvar("amx_messages",ADMIN_KICK,"1")

As for the rest of it it's very confusing, I'll take a closer look later.

[Jordan]

yes well... its my first time so I get excuses ^.^


It doesn't compile with what you said o.O
