I want to make a plugin for my zombie escape server that announces something like this: "[SM] {PLAYERNAME} Pressed a button." when a player pressed a button. How do I do that?

[paegus]

When they trigger a func_button map entity or they press +attack?

The +attack one is simple enough. There's a functional example here though I'd recommend replacing the ongameframe with onplayerruncmd as it's more straightforward and does a lot of the work for you.

i mean func_button.

[Despirator]

easy to use SDKHooks_UsePost

[berni]

uhm, why not just hook the OnPressed entity output of the button ?

@paegus your method is not reliable, as you don't have to directly aim at something in order to use it.

[paegus]

For his ultimate purpose, you're quite correct.

But I didn't mean it to be used it in that context. I just wanted to know what kind of 'button' he meant. A map entity or a client function like +attack or +duck, as I had a relative quick and dirty example of client button detection.

so far my code:

#include <sourcemod>
#include <sdktools>
#include <colors>
public Plugin:myinfo = 
{
  name = "button announce",
  author = "Hours Played, Inc.",
  description = "Button Announcements",
  version = "0.9"
};
public OnPluginStart()
{
    HookEntityOutput( "func_button", "OnPressed", pressed)
}
public pressed(const String:output[], caller, attacker, Float:Any)
{
  decl String:user[MAX_NAME_LENGTH];
  decl String:entity[1024];
  GetEntPropString(caller, Prop_Data, "m_iName", entity, sizeof(entity));
  GetClientName(attacker,user, sizeof(user));
  CPrintToChatAll("[{green}SM{default}] {green}%s{default} pressed a button.", user);
  return Plugin_Handled;
}

The problem is, this cant filter flags of func_buttons. I want func_buttons that has flag 1024 : Use Activates to be able to trigger an announcement.

[thenumb3rguy]

Also how do I filter stuff that don't have func_button flag 1024 (Toggle).

[paegus]

could try somethign along the lines of...

PHP Code:

#include <sourcemod>
#include <sdktools>
#include <colors>
#define SFL_BLAH 1<<10 // 1024

public Plugin:myinfo = 
{
  name = "button announce",
  author = "Hours Played, Inc.",
  description = "Button Announcements",
  version = "0.9"
};
public OnPluginStart()
{
    HookEntityOutput( "func_button", "OnPressed", pressed)
}
public pressed(const String:output[], caller, attacker, Float:Any)
{
  decl String:user[MAX_NAME_LENGTH];
  decl String:entity[1024];
  GetEntPropString(caller, Prop_Data, "m_iName", entity, sizeof(entity));
  GetClientName(attacker,user, sizeof(user));
  new flags = GetEntProp(entity, Prop_Data, "m_spawnflags");
  if (flags & SFL_BLAH)
  {
    CPrintToChatAll("[{green}SM{default}] {green}%s{default} pressed a button that has spawn flag BLAH.", user);
  }
  else if (!(flags & SFL_BLAH))
  {
    CPrintToChatAll("[{green}SM{default}] {green}%s{default} pressed a button that does not have spawn flag BLAH.", user);
  }
  return Plugin_Continue;
}

Thanks, I will try this.
