How about es.fire/es.give ?

[BackRaw]

Hey guys,

maybe this is way too early to ask, but since we talk about API design here, I'd like to ask if someone's already came up with something similar to the good ol' es.fire/es.give commands.

• Decorators?
• Just like Mattie implemented them to ES?
• Something else?

Thanks

EDIT: Decorators aren't the case I guess... haha

I think it will be more like SM does it.

And how does SM do it?

I know one thing we have discussed is making sp.give (or whatever it ends up being) return an index for the item it created. We have also talked about adding sp.fire (or something) but I don't know if either one has been done yet. (Been sick for a few days )

Alright cool, yeah returning something is always good... always.

You might be able to "give" by turning on sv_cheats 1, using the cheat command, and then turning sv_cheats back to 0 until we get a more elegant solution. I don't have any ideas for fire yet..

We're in no hurry

I think we plan on having dynamic function calling, like SPE, so "give" will probably be GiveNamedItem.

I believe that is how ES does it, it just happens on the cpp side.

ent_fire? or did they remove that command in csgo?

Looks like that works too!

Code: Select all

ent_fire
Can't use cheat command ent_fire in multiplayer, unless the server has sv_cheats set to 1.

I'd say, cheating (sv_cheats 1/command/sv_cheats 0) is OK when there is NO other way around that, only then, so I'd rather wait for SP to have the feature

I am almost certain you can remove the cheat flags from ent_fire via the concommand class. Someone should try it and post back (busy with stuff currently). I think we have FindCommand for ICVar (not sure).

I would imagine that would work, but that creates more issues than it solves. I agree that skirting sv_cheats is something that should be done almost never, and I especially do not think anything of that sort belongs "in" the plugin itself. If a script does it, that is fine, but we want to avoid such methods at all costs.

I completely agree, I suggested the cheat work around until we provide a more elegant solution for such things.
