Syntax: Select all

from entities import BaseEntityGenerator
from entities.entity import BaseEntity
from entities.helpers import baseentity_from_edict
from listeners import OnEntityCreated
from listeners import OnServerActivate
from memory import get_object_pointer
from memory import make_object

_marked_for_deletion = set()

@OnServerActivate
def on_server_activate(edicts, edict_count, max_clients):
    _marked_for_deletion.clear()
    for edict in edicts:
        if edict.classname != 'game_text':
            continue
        _marked_for_deletion.add(
            get_object_pointer(edict.server_unknown).address)

@OnEntityCreated
def on_entity_created(base_entity):
    ptr = get_object_pointer(base_entity).address
    if ptr not in _marked_for_deletion:
        return
    _marked_for_deletion.remove(ptr)
    base_entity.remove()

You have invite game_text what is the command for overlay?

r_screenoverlay?

[Painkiller]

I have

Code: Select all

if edict.classname != 'game_text':
replace to
if edict.classname != 'env_screenoverlay':

It is still displayed



Is this plugin only for map.bsp overlays
or remove this my kill overlays ?

[L'In20Cible]

This remove only those created by the map.

[Painkiller]

So i have test it.
This work not for me.

Try removing point_clientcommand

[Painkiller]

Sry not work.

Is there still another solution for the problem?

Start your client, create a new game on that map and enter the following commands in your console:

Code: Select all

sv_cheats 1
developer 1
ent_text *

This should create debug overlays for all entities. Then go to the overlays, make a screenshot and post it here. If you have done that, we will know which entities we need to delete.

I should've mentioned this, but I decompiled the map and the entity to create the overlay was indeed env_screenoverlay

[L'In20Cible]

What is the map in question?

[iPlayer]

dm_stalker_pripyat_aw_kb
FastDL

Okay, I tested and it seems that on HL2:DM, OnServerActivate is called AFTER the entities has been created so the entity is never marked for deletion. Since this is for a single map, and that we know the index, I guess we can safely do the following:

Syntax: Select all

from engines.server import global_vars
from listeners import OnEntityCreated

# Index of the env_screenoverlay to remove...
INDEX = 23

@OnEntityCreated
def on_entity_created(base_entity):
    if global_vars.map_name != 'dm_stalker_pripyat_aw_kb':
        return

    if base_entity.classname != 'env_screenoverlay':
        return

    if base_entity.index != INDEX:
        return

    base_entity.remove()

Why not check hammerid instead? Is index in this case guaranteed to be the same?

[L'In20Cible]

Why not check hammerid instead?

Because this listener is called when it is allocated and added to the global list while a lot of stuff is done/linked in the post constructor. Which is the main reason why we manually link m_pNetworkable on the edict_t instance before calling the registered callbacks otherwise our conversion functions are raising due to unlinked instances they need. In short, trying to get hammerid at this stage will simply return 0 (or -1).

Is index in this case guaranteed to be the same?

Yes, it should always use the same index when the map is loading.

Hello, that does not work.
And I have there are several maps that have exactly the same.

Hello, that does not work.

You are doing something wrong. I tested it and it work just fine.

[iPlayer]

And I have there are several maps that have exactly the same.

Well, you'll have to have individual approach for each map.

[L'In20Cible]

At this point, I think you want to remove them all no matter what:

Syntax: Select all

from listeners import OnEntityCreated

@OnEntityCreated
def on_entity_created(base_entity):
    if base_entity.classname != 'env_screenoverlay':
        return

    base_entity.remove()
