Hi,

I'm trying to change the delay at which weapons respawn in TFC. Currently it is 20 seconds, but I want it at 1 second or so. Here is what I've got.

PHP Code:

#include <amxmodx>
#include <orpheu>
#include <orpheu_stocks>

new g_pGameRules

public plugin_precache()
{
    OrpheuRegisterHook(OrpheuGetFunction("InstallGameRules_tfc"),"OnInstallGameRules",OrpheuHookPost)
}

public plugin_init()
{
    OrpheuRegisterHookFromObject(g_pGameRules,"FlWeaponRespawnTime","CGameRules","OnWeaponRespawn",OrpheuHookPre)
}

public OnInstallGameRules()
{
    g_pGameRules = OrpheuGetReturn() 
}

public OrpheuHookReturn:OnWeaponRespawn(gameRules,weaponID)
{
    OrpheuSetReturn(get_gametime()+1.0)
    return OrpheuOverride
} 


Was assuming this would work but it doesn't, the weapons will still respawn after 20 seconds. What am I missing here?

Code from SDK:

PHP Code:

#define WEAPON_RESPAWN_TIME    20

//=========================================================
// FlWeaponRespawnTime - what is the time in the future
// at which this weapon may spawn?
//=========================================================
float CHalfLifeMultiplay :: FlWeaponRespawnTime( CBasePlayerItem *pWeapon )
{
    if ( weaponstay.value > 0 )
    {
        // make sure it's only certain weapons
        if ( !(pWeapon->iFlags() & ITEM_FLAG_LIMITINWORLD) )
        {
            return gpGlobals->time + 0;        // weapon respawns almost instantly
        }
    }

    return gpGlobals->time + WEAPON_RESPAWN_TIME;
}

No error ? Function is well called ?

Yes, I can supercede the function and the weapon will never respawn just fine. I can also get the return value which also looks fine.

Hook as pre and change nothing else, it should work so.

How do you mean? I am currently hooking it in pre.

[Arkshine]

Ah, yes, sorry.

If well called, it should work. Maybe you should set your value before in a variable instead of writing directly inside the native. Desperate idea, but I can't see what's wrong here.

Yeah I've already tried that, tried everything I could think of. It's weird as you say, it seems like it should work.

Are you sure you don't confuse with items ? I mean what you want to change are more the items.

Yeah well, the function gets called when I pick up a weapon e.g. a spanner or a RPG, and it returns the current game time + 20 seconds, so I figure it must be the correct function.

I've tried the game, I don't know much about it, but I don't see weapon on the ground, except probably at spawn but you pickup right away. That's why I thought you might talk about the items around the maps, is it not the case ? Yes, it's well called, and there is no reason altering time is not working unless you're trying to respawn the wrong thing.
