Hi, I am making a Paintball plugin and replacing weapons with paintball weapons (meaning: I forbid them from firing bullets and instead I create entities that look like pellets).

I am catching the player pre think and asking if he is attacking in order to shoot a new pellet into something like this:

PHP Code:

//in the plugin_init
register_forward(FM_PlayerPreThink, "fw_playerprethink", 1);

//the function looks like
public fw_playerprethink(id)
{
new buttons = pev(id, pev_button);
        if (buttons & IN_ATTACK)
        { //do something to shoot a pellet 


It works fine for real players, but Bots don't shoot.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
Rul4.

PS: I am using PodBots, but I tried with other bots and the same thing happens.

engfunc(EngFunc_RunPlayerMove, id, Float:{0.0,0.0,0.0}, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0, 0, 0)

Your interested in the 3rd value from the end.

Hopefully it won't damage the bot api too much

Sorry, what should I do with it? Replace the pev(id, pev_button)?

Thanks!

Yeah don't forget to check for is_user_bot 1st since this method is only for bots!

The following will force the bot to shoot.

engfunc(EngFunc_RunPlayerMove, id, Float:{0.0,0.0,0.0}, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, IN_ATTACK, 0, 0)

If your trying to detect if a bot is shooting you should hook FM_CmdStart not FM_PlayerPreThink, this method works for both players/bots.

public plugin_init()
    register_forward( FM_CmdStart, "CmdStart" )
}

public CmdStart( id, uc_handle, random_seed )
{
    if ( !is_user_alive( id ) )
        return FMRES_IGNORED
    
    static buttons; buttons = get_uc( uc_handle, UC_Buttons )
    if ( buttons & IN_ATTACK )
    {
        // Do something here
    }

    return FMRES_IGNORED
}
