Hey! I'm attempting to get a PlayerEntity object when the player is connecting:

from events import Event
from players.entity import PlayerEntity

players = []

@Event
def player_connect(game_event):
    player = PlayerEntity(game_event.get_int('index'))
    players.append(player)

However, I run into an error:

Code: Select all

Client "Mahi" connected (192.168.1.202:27006).

[SP] Caught an Exception:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File '..\addons\source-python\packages\source-python\events\listener.py', line
 90, in fire_game_event
    callback(game_event)
  File '..\addons\source-python\plugins\test\test.py', line 8, in playe
r_connect
    player = PlayerEntity(game_event.get_int('index'))
  File '..\addons\source-python\packages\source-python\players\entity.py', line
40, in __new__
    self._playerinfo = playerinfo_from_index(self.index)

ValueError: Conversion failed...

Ayuto suggested me to use @ClientConnect:

Syntax: Select all

from listeners import ClientConnect
from players.entity import PlayerEntity

players = []

@ClientConnect
def client_connect(index):
    player = PlayerEntity(index)
    players.append(player)

And it gave me an error like so:

Code: Select all

Client "Mahi" connected (192.168.1.202:27006).

[SP] Caught an Exception:

TypeError: No to_python (by-value) converter found for C++ type: char

How can I get a PlayerEntiy object when the client connects?

Oh, this is my fault. ClientConnect listeners require more parameters. http://forums.sourcepython.com/showthread.php?670-Custom-params-in-event&p=3708&viewfull=1#post3708

ClientDisconnect requires only an index.

Ahh okay sry, I should've figured that myself, the error just didn't tell me anything at all.

Edit: Nope, still not working

You cannot get a PlayerEntity instance from that event/listener. The index is not linked to the other player's objects at this point. Try with the player_activate event, instead.

Still giving me the same error:

59, in __new__
    self._playerinfo = playerinfo_from_index(self.index)

Well, that event doesn't provide an "index" field.

Syntax: Select all

from events import Event
from players.entity import PlayerEntity
from players.helpers import index_from_userid

@Event
def player_activate(game_event):
    player = PlayerEntity(index_from_userid(game_event.get_int('userid')))
    ...

Ahh seems right, thanks... That'll do :P

For reference on the event variables of player_activate, we do have most of the CS:S and CS:GO event pages completed:
Events
CS:GO Events
CS:GO player_activate
CS:S Events
CS:S player_activate
