Re: [hlcoders] Generating events from an orangebox server plugin
setinfo isn't executable by the server :-/ I found out my player->SetPlayerName // gamerules->ChangePlayerName hooks were bored, so one of these might actually trigger the appropriate event as they fire - I'll mess with it more later today - Neph On Thu, May 22, 2008 at 6:18 AM, Tom Leighton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > For instance with the name change, could you not force the client to run > the command again, thus, generating the event for you? > > I.e. when name is to change, run on the client setinfo name "Blah" ? > > Not sure whether setinfo is marked as SERVER_CANT_EXECUTE or not. > > Keeper wrote: >> Ah, ok.

Re: [hlcoders] Generating events from an orangebox server plugin
For instance with the name change, could you not force the client to run the command again, thus, generating the event for you? I.e. when name is to change, run on the client setinfo name "Blah" ? Not sure whether setinfo is marked as SERVER_CANT_EXECUTE or not. Keeper wrote: > Ah, ok. I understand now. > > I just ( thankfully ) downgraded back to XP, so I don't have my SDK loaded > yet.

Re: [hlcoders] Generating events from an orangebox server plugin
Ah, ok. I understand now. I just ( thankfully ) downgraded back to XP, so I don't have my SDK loaded yet. My guess is that this event is a client generated event. With the plugin, firing it at the server level might just not do anything with the clients.

Re: [hlcoders] Generating events from an orangebox server plugin
I'm aware that it will not cause the name to change. Rather, I am
trying to trigger a notification to other players that the name *has*
changed. It's not just this event, either - I can't seem to generate
any events that would notify the clients of *anything*

Re: [hlcoders] Generating events from an orangebox server plugin
I don't think this will work. Events are notifications of something that
happened.
When the user does a "setinfo name" command, this event gets triggered.
Firing this event yourself will not cause the name to change.

Subject: [hlcoders] Generating events from an orangebox server plugin
Hey all, I'm trying to generate events from within a tf2 server
plugin, but am having no luck.
The code:
IGameEvent *event =
gameeventmanager->CreateEvent("player_changename");
if (event)
{
event->SetInt("userid", pi->GetUserID());
event->SetString( "oldname", pi->GetName());
event->SetString( "newname", "test");
gameeventmanager->FireEvent(event);
}
The result: nothing. Nobody sees a name change. It's not just the
changename event, I can't seem to make any events go through. I've
tried using IGameEventManager and IGameEventManager2 interfaces, no
difference. My event listener hook sees the generated events go by
server side, but no clients are receiving them.
What am I missing here?
