Re: [hlcoders] Execute server commands from a VGUI
Quoting Garry Newman [EMAIL PROTECTED]: What's to stop a client just binding a key to vgui_screen_opendoor 234 or whatever? Or am I being simple about it? Could you do some kind of basic encryption of the command? I know it's just security by obscurity but it might be a simple approach that takes care of 99% of the problem. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
Re: [hlcoders] Execute server commands from a VGUI
Ah, thanks! I always thought that you couldn't do this from the client, but I guess I was wrong. Must have been some include file I forgot last time I tried it. -Gregor Aaron Schiff wrote: -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] If you want to execute a server command it would be more efficient to call engine-ServerCmd() on the client -- ts2do -- ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
Re: [hlcoders] Execute server commands from a VGUI
It isn't really executing commands on the server.. well it is.. kinda. It's the same as typing a command in the console - if it isn't handled by the client (things like cl_smooth) then it sends it to the server (things like kill). I have a follow up question along these lines.. In Dystopia they have VGUI Screens that you press buttons on to open doors. I haven't even looked into vgui screens yet - but would this also use the console command system? What's to stop a client just binding a key to vgui_screen_opendoor 234 or whatever?

[hlcoders] Execute server commands from a VGUI
Hi, How do I execute a server command from a VGUI button press for example? The OnCommand() in the panel is client side and I would like to know how for example CS:S do with their buying system?

I hope this helps, I basically send a console command containing the command
primaryweapon and then a string of the weapon which is held in the
comboboxes in my case. And then on theserver it is worked out from there.
void CWeaponLoadOutMenu::OnCommand( const char *command )
{
if (!stricmp(command, chosenequipment) )
{
//
// Purpose: primaryweapon command - ^Ben
//
int iPrimaryEquipID = m_pPrimaryWeapons-GetActiveItem();
char buf[ 2048 ];
wchar_t playerText[ 80 ];
m_pPrimaryWeapons-GetItemText(iPrimaryEquipID, playerText,
sizeof(playerText));
localize()-ConvertUnicodeToANSI(playerText, buf, sizeof(buf));
const char* sItemText = buf;
const char* szCleanItem = ConvertRawOutPutToWeapon(sItemText);
char command[128];
Q_snprintf( command, sizeof(command), primaryweapon \%s\,
szCleanItem );
engine-ClientCmd(command);
}
And then in player.cpp
Under CbasePlayer::ClientCommand
else if ( stricmp( cmd, primaryweapon ) == 0 ) // chase next player
{
const char *szPrimeWep = engine-Cmd_Argv(1);
m_vEquipmentList.AddToTail(szPrimeWep);
}
