forgive me, but why would u want to force players to use your tracer settings?

becuase then you can make everyone see the same tracers.. like for example you can set it so that tracers are whatever color you want, move at whatever speed you want.. and are as long as you want..nnjust a little something to give you that extra bit of control on your server

another reason is this... players can turn tracers to whatever they want (without a plugin like this in effect) and could make them so colorful and long that it becomes very easy to pinpoint the mgs location.... if everyone was forced to have the same tracer setting then that specific advantage is gone... making for a much more balanced game.. while also giving your server that custom feel....

Oh jeeze I just now looked at your code; there's a much easier way of doing this. Right now, you have a loop that sets the clients tracers to whatever you desire every 5.0 "seconds" Theoretically, this way, a client could press a button to set them back to normal every time this happens. I know this isn't something someone would actually do but regardless the loop itself, in theory, takes processing power.rnrnCheck this out.rn

rnpublic plugin_init() {rn   register_concmd("blockcmd", "block_cmd")rn   register_cvar("blocktracers", "1")rn   // Register cvars for tracer colours herern}rnrnpublic client_connect(id) {rn   if(get_cvar_num("blocktracers")) {rn      FuncBlockTracers(id)rn   }rn}rnrnstock FuncBlockTracers(id) {rn   // Sets desired "traceralpha"rn   client_cmd(id,"traceralpha %f",get_pcvar_float(p_dod_traceralpha))rnrn   // Blocks client from adjusting "traceralpha" until they restart dodrn   client_cmd(id,"alias traceralpha blockcmd")rnrn   // Do the same for the rest of themrn}rnrnpublic block_cmd(id) {rn   client_print(id, print_console, "Command Blocked")rn   return PLUGIN_HANDLEDrn}
rnrnBasically, it's setting the desired client commands, then rerouting the command itself to "blockcmd," which does nothing but print "Command Blocked" in the client's console.rnrnOnce the client restarts dod, the command will be rerouted back to its normal function (unless of course he enters your server again in which case it will be re-re-rerouted back to "blockcmd" :-P

hey wilson that doesnt seem to work..nni can still change the values and i dont get the command blocked print out either :-(nnbut i manually put the alias in my console.. it blocks it then.. so it seems like amxx isnt setting the alias on the clientnn*edit*nnits giving me this for each one:n

Server tried to send invalid command:"alias tracerblue blockcmd"
nnthen on amxmodx's irc channel:n
<@Basic-Master> you can't register aliases using client_cmd

No - you definitely can do it it has worked for me before. I learned it from FURAX44's code - check this out and you can see what's going on. This works.rnrn

#include <amxmodx> rnrnnew g_BlockCheck[33]    rnnew g_BlockIcon rnrnpublic plugin_init() { rn  register_plugin("RealismGuard","0.0.2","FURAX44 & Cpt.Wilson") rn  register_cvar("realism_guard","0") rn  register_clcmd("block_identiconmode","Used_identiconmode",0,"- Icon Identification & HUD is blocked by server") rn} rnrnpublic plugin_cfg() rn{ rn  g_BlockIcon = get_cvar_num("realism_guard") rn} rnrnpublic client_connect(id){ rn  if (g_BlockIcon==1) BlockIconOnClient(id) rn}    rnrnstock BlockIconOnClient(id) rn{ rn   g_BlockCheck[id] = 1 rn   client_cmd(id,"cl_identiconmode  0;alias cl_identiconmode block_identiconmode;cl_hud_health 0;alias cl_hud_health block_identiconmode;cl_hud_ammo 0;alias cl_hud_ammo block_identiconmode;cl_hud_objtimer 0;alias cl_hud_objtimer block_identiconmode;cl_hud_reinforcements 0;alias cl_hud_reinforcements block_identiconmode;cl_dmshowplayers 0;alias cl_dmshowplayers block_identiconmode;cl_dmsmallmap 0;alias cl_dmsmallmap block_identiconmode") rn   g_BlockCheck[id] = 0 rn} rnrnrnpublic Used_identiconmode(id){ rn   if (g_BlockCheck[id] == 1) return PLUGIN_CONTINUE rn   new Name[32] rn   get_user_name(id,Name,31) rn   server_print("Client %d %s try to change identiconmode",id,Name) rn   return PLUGIN_HANDLED rn}

How would I set it to show the tracers all the time? I was at a server today that showed some very nice yellow tracers on all weapons. It was great. I would like to turn that on here. I so far have noticed nothing with this plugin......

diamond, you cannot change them midgame...well you can but every client would have to exit day of defeat and rejoin.rnrnit re-aliases the client commands so they dont' get reset until they rejoin.rnrntegu, what server was it? I'd love to see that in action.
