1. What is the best idea to passing arguments to consolecmd, example below:

PHP Code:

RegConsoleCmd("sm_test", Command_Test);
public Action Command_Test(int client, int args)
{
    char arg[128];
    GetCmdArg(1, arg, sizeof(arg));
    
    int value = StringToInt(arg);
}
void test(client)
{
    Command_Test(client, 1);  //how to pass custom value to function?
} 


Is FakeClientCommand are only way to do it?

2. What causes this warning?

PHP Code:

enum Colors {
    RED,
    BLUE,
    GREEN,
    
    MAX_COLORS
}
int g_iSelectedColor[MAXPLAYERS + 1];

void func(int client)
{
     g_iSelectedColor[client]++;
     if ( g_iSelectedColor[client] >= MAX_COLORS )  //warning 213: tag mismatch
     {
           g_iSelectedColor[client] = 0;
     }
} 


3. Code below gives me small black dot, instead of my texture. What is wrong? Textures are ok, because i copied it from other server.

PHP Code:

int g_iSprite = -1;

public void OnMapStart()
{
    AddFileToDownloadsTable("materials/test.vtf");
    AddFileToDownloadsTable("materials/test.vmt");
    
    g_iSprite = PrecacheDecal("materials/test", true);
}

void TE_SetupBSPDecal(float vecOrigin[3], int index) 
{
    TE_Start("World Decal");
    TE_WriteVector("m_vecOrigin", vecOrigin);
    TE_WriteNum("m_nIndex", index);
}

void setup(float pos[3])
{    
    TE_SetupBSPDecal(pos, g_iSprite);
    TE_SendToAll();
} 


Thanks for any help!

what is test.vtf and test.vmt, those seem like the issue and not the code.

I have written that this is texture, which I copied from another server on which it works, so i dont think thats a problem. Path is a bit different, this is only example to show how i make it.

BUILT-IN SOLUTION BUT LEAST PERFORMANT
I see, you want to call the callback manually. Instead just invoke the command with FakeClientCommand:

void test(client)
{
    FakeClientCommand("sm_test %d", client);
    // instead of:    Command_Test(client, 1);
}

So yeah, to answer your question, you are best off just using FakeClientCommand()... AFAIK there is no abstraction on this process. You could also do this instead:

PERFORMANT AND TESTABLE SOLUTION BUT SLIGHTLY MORE CODE

RegConsoleCmd("sm_test", Command_Test);
public Action Command_Test(int client, int args)
{
    char arg[128];
    GetCmdArg(1, arg, sizeof(arg));
    
    int value = StringToInt(arg);
    return Command_Test_Internal(client, value);
}

public Action Command_Test_Internal(int client, int firstArg)
{
   // do your thing
}
void test(client)
{
    int someValue = 1234;
    Command_Test_Internal(client, someValue);
}

I tend to do this a lot since I like being able to unit test my code.

TAG MISMATCH ISSUE
As for your question about the tag mismatch... here you go:

if ( view_as<Colors>(g_iSelectedColor[client]) >= MAX_COLORS )

you could also go this too:

if ( g_iSelectedColor[client] >= view_as<int>(MAX_COLORS) )

Casting with view_as is easy

Thank you pimpinjuice, nice solution with passing arguments
Still need help with decal problem.

[API]

Dumb question, but have you tried PrecacheModel() instead of PrecacheDecal()? AFAIK, it used to be how I always pre-cached texture files. Also, make sure you include .vmt in the call to PrecacheModel()

eg:
GOOD

g_iSprite = PrecacheModel("materials/test.vmt", true);

BAD

g_iSprite = PrecacheModel("materials/test", true);

If that doesn't work, maybe try this?

g_iSprite = PrecacheDecal("materials/test.vmt", true);

[API]

Oh, I think I just realized something. You say you copied the textures from another server, but you don't look like you are using the same paths If you open the VMT, you will notice the first line (or second, I don't remember) is a path to the VMF file. You must make sure this is correct.

[hh2]

pimpinjuice, thanks for your help.
Paths are same as original, so thats not it.

I solved this problem by deleting "materials" from path string and it works

[API]

Awesome, happy to hear this was resolved.
