thanks. that underlines the temporal meaning of pre/post. but where is the technical use of post hooking in tempentites.create()? and shouldnt the method here better be called .send() ? what can be done in or more specific WITH the posthook here, that cant be done in a prehook already or simply by a...

what exactly can be done in a EntityPostHook/TempEntityPostHook?

because shouldnt the memory be locked at that point?

ah nice you changed your profile pic on all your accounts after i suggested that they represent your criminal activities :D, i think we should wait for what exactly he wants to do anyway, i only wanted to show him the property and not drift off topic too much. you must have overread that i especiall...

there are even more things that could be said. you forgot to mention all that. but your answer isnt overall that bad. maybe he will be more specific on his next reply.

yes you can, but usermsgs are useful when you create customized block filters. in your case, if you merely try to toggle there is a m_iHideHUD property on the player. cant test it right now but should go sthn like this: from players.constants import HideHudFlags player.set_property_int("m_L...

yeah, im looking through some old code too where i used ent.get_property_int("m_pParent"). its btw returning the inthandle/-1.

might be worth adding .parent as playerentity imo

is it also possible to check for a parents entity existance?

like this:

i dont really get what you are trying to say... my question is if/why sp cant handle setting ent.model_index only.. i only explained it to hlep you understand my question better. sp could easily retrieve the modelpath from the preache table by index only and then send a working sendtable at ent.spaw...

but it might just be that the server always uses sendtables to handle edict traffic...which would leave no option for sp to make it more efficient... but maybe sp could make it easier on the script-end by letting users set the model_index only and then internally create the sendtable from looking up...

i am wondering why it isnt possible to set a model by ent.modelindex only in my posted situation. while ent.modelpath works. but my fear is that setting the path makes sp send the client the whole string via network? shouldnt setting .modelindex suffice in my case? its actually a question if sp is a...

okay clear_parent() actually does remove the parent correctly. the error i had was due to not setting the .model_name

will ent.clear_parent() remove the parent?

im trying to unset a parent to an entity after setting it this way: ent.set_parent(parententity.pointer) this is how i would think to remove it, but doesnt work: ent.set_parent(Entity(0).pointer) error is: Exception ignored in: <bound method __del__ of <entities.helpers.Entit...

is it possible to tell a client to render a model on a networked entity after precaching the path by the index only?

"ent.model_index" -> doesnt work
"ent.model_path" -> does work

oh yeah, i just found that too. but how come http://wiki.sourcepython.com/developing ... ity.Weapon doesnt show all directory methods of an object, while dir() in python does?

well i cant really update my thread so ill repost a solution

is_knife = EntityCondition.equals_entity_classname('weapon_knife') @EntityPreHook(is_knife, 'secondary_attack') def _secondary_knife_attack(stack_data): entity = Weapon(index_from_pointer(stack_data[0])) print(entity.weapon_name) i hav...

well i tried to use this: EntityCondition.equals_datamap_classname('CWeaponCSBase') but im also getting no secondary attack. does the stackdata contain the players index? cant really find any info on it anywhere..

actually i think i will just use the weapon_fire event that i mentioned and then use your method for those weapons that are not getting fired in the event. i dont think there will be many exceptions..

mhh thanks so far. my goal really is to do this for all players, and all weapons they carrry. basically a replica of weapon_fire event, only for primary AND secondary. so if i did this with your method, are there any disadvantages in creating multiple prehooks?
