hi all, i am writing a metamod plugin and creating some native/raw functions that uses edict_t *pEdict.
How i can get if the player is bot??

PHP Code:

void cMisc::ClientPrintColor(edict_t *pEdict,const char *Format,...)
{
    if(this->SayText == NULL)
    {
        SayText = GET_USER_MSG_ID(PLID,"SayText",NULL);
    }

    char Buffer[192] = {0};

    va_list pArgs;
    va_start(pArgs,Format);
    vsprintf(&Buffer[0],Format,pArgs);
    va_end(pArgs);

    if(pEdict == NULL)
    {
        edict_t *pEntity = NULL;

        for(int i = 1;i <= gpGlobals->maxClients;i++)
        {
            pEntity = INDEXENT(i);
            
            if(FNullEnt(pEntity) || pEntity->free)
            {
                continue;
            }

            MESSAGE_BEGIN(MSG_ONE_UNRELIABLE,this->SayText,NULL,pEntity);
            WRITE_BYTE(i);
            WRITE_STRING(Buffer);
            MESSAGE_END();
        }
    }
    else
    {
        if(FNullEnt(pEdict) || pEdict->free)
        {
            return;
        }

        MESSAGE_BEGIN(MSG_ONE_UNRELIABLE,this->SayText,NULL,pEdict);
        WRITE_BYTE(ENTINDEX(pEdict));
        WRITE_STRING(Buffer);
        MESSAGE_END();
    }
} 


Ps. Im not using amxx interface for plugin it is for metamod-p.

You are currently posting in the AMX Mod X plugin Scripting Help which is extremely different than metamod plugins. While this topic isn't technically supported here, you'll probably have better luck with posting in the Modules section since that at least has the same programming language.

Check how AMXX is doing this.

{
	const char* auth= (*g_engfuncs.pfnGetPlayerAuthId)(pEdict);
	return ( auth && !strcmp( auth , "BOT" ) );
}

Bots might also have FL_FAKECLIENT flag.

Yes i seen in other functions, thanks, i need to learn a bit more about bitsums

@Ghosted

I do not think this is a good idea with strings and calling directly g_engfuncs, since bots do not always have a "BOT" in their authid, that can return a false positive in some cases. Can work correctly for plugins

@fysiks

technically speaking modules are not same as an metamod plugin.
but i understand your point, since this is not a hard master question anyway

I just posted half of the code, theres also FL_FAKECLIENT code thats why i said
'Check how AMXX is doing this.'
