Shield Tutorial - Sequence Check

[Archive-Poster]

Heres a new way of getting whether a person has shield.
By sequence

Code: Select all

#include <amxmodx>
#include <amxmisc>
#include <engine>

public plugin_init()
{
    register_plugin("Shield","1.0","default");
    register_clcmd("get_shield","shield",ADMIN_LEVEL_A,": name")
}

public shield(id)
{
    new arg[32]
    read_argv(1,arg,31)
    
    new vid = cmd_target(id,arg,8);
    
    new seq = entity_get_int(vid,EV_INT_sequence);
    
    new name[32]
    get_user_name(vid,name,31);
    
    //SEQUENCCE 89 = Shield + Knife
    //SEQUENCE 94 = Shield + Pistol
    //SEQUENCE 98 = Shield only (right clicked)
    
    
    if(seq == 89)
    {
        client_print(0,3,"%s has shield and a knife",name);
    }
    else if(seq == 94)
    {
        client_print(0,3,"%s has shield and a pistol",name);
    }
    else if(seq == 98)
    {
        client_print(0,3,"%s has shield",name);
    }
    
    client_print(0,3,"Sequence: %d",seq);
    
    return PLUGIN_HANDLED
}

Another one. Originaly posted by Ryan on AMX forums.

Code: Select all

#include <amxmodx>
#include <engine>

new bool:gotShield[33]

public pfn_touch(ptr, ptd) {

    new entId   = ptr
    new id      = ptd

    if ( id < 0 || id > 32 || !is_user_alive(id) || gotShield[id] )
        return PLUGIN_CONTINUE


    new modelName[32]
    entity_get_string(entId, EV_SZ_model, modelName, 31)

    if ( containi(modelName,"w_shield.mdl") != -1 ) {

        new parm[1]
        parm[0] = id

        remove_task(2200 + id,0)
        set_task(0.1,"check_shield",2200 + id,parm,1)

    }


    return PLUGIN_CONTINUE

}


public check_shield(parm[1]) {

    new id = parm[0]

    new modelName[32]
    entity_get_string(id, EV_SZ_viewmodel, modelName, 31)

    if ( containi(modelName,"v_shield_") != -1 ) {

        // Do some stuff in here. It's found!

    }
       

    return PLUGIN_HANDLED

}

Hmm the shield Offset in CS is 494. Only a few bugs with it though. (engine problem of-course)
Im gonna do a few more tests and let you now about it

The problem is finding an efficient way of getting the shield (ie- a forward).. having to listen to too many events for different parts makes for big and sloppy code to find out one simple thing! and setting a milisecond timer (task) is a no no.

the only ways to detect shield are...

client command: shield (whatever buys it right out)
menu command: equipment menu, key 8
touch event when walking over it to pick it up
hideweapon event -OR- curweapon event... just in case any of the above were missed.

however, many plugins give players shields via the give_item function, which does not trigger any of the above events.

it's too bad valve (ming) didnt make this easier for scripters to detect.
