Hello, some time ago i was wondering how i would swap player actions with eachother, then Powerlord gave me an example wich looked kinda like this code:

PHP Code:

public Action:OnPlayerRunCmd(client, &buttons, &impulse, Float:vel[3], Float:angles[3], &weapon)
{
    if (buttons & IN_DUCK)
    {
        buttons |= IN_JUMP;
        buttons &= ~IN_DUCK;
    }
} 


It's not exact but i have stripped some things to prevent anyone from stealing my plugin idéa.. Now to the problem, it dosen't work. Checking what action a player is currently in works fine, but removing an action and replacing it with something else does not work, might anyone know what the problem is?

You need to return Plugin_Changed to register a change in buttons, and Plugin_Continue when you're not changing anything.

Well,

PHP Code:

public Action:OnPlayerRunCmd(client, &buttons, &impulse, Float:vel[3], Float:angles[3], &weapon)
{
    if (buttons & IN_DUCK)
    {
        buttons |= IN_JUMP;
        buttons &= ~IN_DUCK;
    }
    return Plugin_Changed;
} 


It didn't do anything now either, sorry for being a complete newbie but where should i put it? Putting it inside the if statement didn't do anything but to give me a compiling error, and adding it as above didn't give me an error but it did as much as it did before = nothing at all :/

If you're only looking to do that with OnPlayerRunCmd, and nothing else, it'd be:

PHP Code:

public Action:OnPlayerRunCmd(client, &buttons, &impulse, Float:vel[3], Float:angles[3], &weapon) 
{
    if (buttons & IN_DUCK)
    {
        buttons |= IN_JUMP;
        buttons &= ~IN_DUCK;
        return Plugin_Changed;
    }
    return Plugin_Continue;
} 


However, there are quite a few keys that are "read-only" and can only be checked, and not set, such as the basic movement keys (IN_FORWARD, IN_MOVELEFT, etc.)...IN_DUCK and IN_JUMP are probably among those keys.

D: Well that just screwed my whole plugin idéa over, eeh, thanks for the help anyway..

[Godis]

Hmm, is there any way at all to force a player do an action?

[MasterOfTheXP]

Keep in mind, though, there are ways to get around that for all of the keys I've mentioned. For movement, you can set the player's velocity, which is a bit hacky, but it works...although just forcing them to "jump" is a lot easier, and uses the same method (with vertical velocity). For crouching/not crouching, I believe the m_bDucked netprop controls that. Maybe. Probably not. But I'm fairly certain there's some way to control that.

Okay, thanks, i will work my way around!
