Blinding players and changing models

[BackRaw]

Hi,

can we blind players and change their models? I kinda see how Source.Python works right now, and it's awesome! This plugin grows fast

EDIT: oh, by the way, is there an event list? I know that Valve events work, but how about es_map_start() and such added by Mattie? Those were pretty useful

[Ayuto]

Currently there are no events created by Source.Python. The equivalent for es_map_start is the LevelInit decorator or level_init_listener_manager object. https://github.com/Source-Python-Dev-Team/Source.Python/blob/master/addons/source-python/packages/source-python/listeners/__init__.py#L51

Yes, you can blind players. Just use the fade class. https://github.com/Source-Python-Dev-Team/Source.Python/blob/master/addons/source-python/packages/source-python/messages/types/fade.py#L16

To set player model add

Code: Select all

[set_model]
name = _ZN11CBaseEntity8SetModelEPKc
convention = THISCALL
arguments = POINTER,STRING
return_type = VOID

to the source-python/data/source-python/entities/virtuals/cstrike/CBaseEntity.ini

Usage is simple:

Syntax: Select all

PlayerEntity(player_index).set_model('model_path')

Cool, Ayuto, thanks! Can you give me an example of how I can use it in a script? would be nice

Thank you Hedgehog!! now I can test my plugin

[BackRaw]

Nevermind Ayuto, got it

[Hedgehog]

In case you are going to release your plugin please don't include any files that might overwrite or change some of source-python data files...

In the new version, once it has been finalized, more virtual functions will be included in the data already. You shouldn't release a script that adds values like this to source-python's data, this is just as an example.

To blind, you can also use the same method as ES' playerlib:

Syntax: Select all

from players.entity import PlayerEntity

player = PlayerEntity(<index>)
# Reset the player flash properties
player.set_prop_int('m_flFlashMaxAlpha', 0)
player.set_prop_int('m_flFlashDuration', 0)
# Set the new flash properties to flash the player
player.set_prop_int('m_flFlashMaxAlpha', <alpha>)
player.set_prop_int('m_flFlashDuration', <duration>)

There are other ways to set the model, too, which do not require signatures, but I won't post them here until I have tested to verify they work.

[BackRaw]

Didn't know about setting / getting props! Thanks that helps a lot.

[BackRaw]

Would the following also work for setting models?

Syntax: Select all

from engines.server import engine_server
from players.entities import PlayerEntity

player = PlayerEntity(<index>)

model_index = engine_server.precache_model(<path/to/the/mdl/file>)
player.set_model_index(model_index)

Saw the method here http://wiki.sourcepython.com/index.php/entities#get_model_index but I don't know if it applies to players, I guess so, though.

Test it and let us know?

[BackRaw]

Test it and let us know?

I'm at work almost all day with a Linux host - plus I don't have a wifi or ethernet connection, I'm bridging my phone's internet connection. So I don't have a LAN network, obviously
I'll test it as soon as I get home, since it's friday

so does it work BackRaw??

Cool, Ayuto, thanks! Can you give me an example of how I can use it in a script? would be nice

Thank you Hedgehog!! now I can test my plugin

hi BackRaw could you show me an example of how to use LevelInit decorator or level_init_listener_manager object
so i can replace my script's es_map_start

thanks!

[L'In20Cible]

Syntax: Select all

from listeners import LevelInit

@LevelInit
def level_init_listener(map_name):
    # ...

You can use any of the managers directly:

Syntax: Select all

from listeners import level_init_listener_manager

def load():
    level_init_listener_manager.register_listener(
        my_level_init_function)

def unload():
    level_init_listener_manager.unregister_listener(
        my_level_init_function)

def my_level_init_function(mapname):
    print(mapname)

You can also use the decorator, which automatically takes care of registering and unregistering:

Syntax: Select all

from listeners import LevelInit

@LevelInit
def my_level_init_function(mapname):
    print(mapname)

But more detailled!!

[8guawong]

a big thank you to both of you!

[BackRaw]

Forgot to mention, sorry for being so late. PlayerEntity.set_model_index() doesn't do anything lol

[satoon101]

What is your test script? I still haven't tested anything myself, but I would like to know what you tried.

[BackRaw]

Well it didn't work when I tested it, now it says that 'set_model_index' isn't an attribute of PlayerEntity lol. What's a player's "ServerEntity" instance? I'm referring to http://wiki.sourcepython.com/index.php/entities#ServerEntity
