Hi Folks,
iam new to this sourcemod scripting an encountered a problem i cant find a solution to.

To make my arena random class plugin perfect i want to print the player a message that tells him he cant use the class selection, if he uses the "changeclass" command (key).

Right now ive hooked "joinclass" so he gets this message after he has selected a class from the ui, so technicaly it is working, but i would prefer to print this message the moment he presses his key for the class selection ui.

Hooking the command "changeclass" dont work (tried "OnClientCommand" & "RegConsoleCmd"), i think because its a client side only event, so is there a possibility i can block the "changeclass" of the client?

You can't block it, sadly. Take a look at this plugin to see how he blocks players from choosing a certain class.

I don't know much about it, but something like

PHP Code:

 new Handle:cChangeclass = FindConVar("changeclass") 


Couldn't you then set that as an invalid handle or something?

First off, "changeclass" isn't a ConVar, it's a command. Second, as already stated, you won't be able to find it because it's a client-side command. Third, you can't change a command's handle.

Sometimes it's better to refrain from giving advice if you "don't know these things".

Lol probably

Thought so, thanks for the answer.

Although I don't know how it was achieved, a few days ago I played a server which blocked you from changing class during the bonus round time, instead it came up with a message saying "You cannot change class at this time", and I remember seeing that message before, in area mode I think (after the 10 second period).
So basically - I'm saying that this IS possible, and that i've seen it done.

What about IN_SCORE? I know it says it's used by client.dll, but is it sent to the server too? If so, you can use DukeHacks to set up a client prethink hook, and inside the hook do something like this:

new iButtons = GetClientButtons(client);
if(iButtons & IN_SCORE)
{
  iButtons &= ~IN_SCORE;
  SetEntProp(client, Prop_Data, "m_nButtons", iButtons);
}
