[*S*] Left click for spawn, works all the time

[.]

A much needed solution is to add several bool attributes to the current classes similar to object.TrackingBumps

Example:
player.TrackingKeys = true would enable monitoring OnPlayerKeyDown for that player. Any other player pressing a key would have no impact on the server performance. I mentioned the same in my post here, but I hope this is feasible in an update to the official Squirrel plugin.

That's the exact same thing I've been trying to feature on that module. The ability to avoid unnecessary event calls. I've almost done that. Now I just need to deal with a few flaws in my design and I'll start completing the module.

A small (untested) C++ version of this can be found bellow:

int SPAWN_KEY_ID = -1;

void OnKeyBindDown(int nPlayerId, int nBindId)
{
    if (nBindId == SPAWN_KEY_ID && !gFuncs->IsPlayerSpawned(nPlayerId)) {
        gFuncs->ForcePlayerSpawn(nPlayerId);
    }
}

int OnInitServer()
{
    SPAWN_KEY_ID = gFuncs->RegisterKeyBind(gFuncs->GetKeyBindUnusedSlot(), 1, 0x01, 0, 0);

    if (SPAWN_KEY_ID < 0) {
        printf( "Left Click Spawn for VC:MP failed to register a key-bind" );

        return 0;
    }

    printf( "Left Click Spawn for VC:MP successfully loaded" );

    return 1;
}

SQMOD_API_EXPORT unsigned int VcmpPluginInit( PluginFuncs * functions, \
                                                PluginCallbacks * callbacks, \
                                                PluginInfo * info )
{
    info->uPluginVer = 0x1000; // 1.0.00
    strcpy( info->szName, "Left Click Spawn for VC:MP" );

    gFuncs = functions;

    callbacks->OnInitServer = OnInitServer;
    callbacks->OnKeyBindDown = OnKeyBindDown;

    return 1;
}

Code::Blocks project can be found here. If this works than let me know so that I can compile that on all platforms.

Knowing that isspawned is actually a function, I actually feel like using variables for checking if the player is spawned.

Perhaps you quoted the wrong post because I don't know what you mean.

Sorry I forgot to remove the quote. Thats how I reply (quote and remove quote, its faster). I edited my post now.

Nope, it doesn't work. I see the ""Left Click Spawn for VC:MP successfully loaded"" message in console, but when I press LMB, there is nothing happening.


Btw, didn't you say that calling a function is slower than comparing integers ?

void OnKeyBindDown(int nPlayerId, int nBindId)
{
    if (gFuncs->IsPlayerSpawned(nPlayerId) && nBindId == SPAWN_KEY_ID) {
        gFuncs->ForcePlayerSpawn(nPlayerId);
    }
}

I have some issues with my monitor right now but I'll verify that plugin as soon as I can get back on my PC.

EDIT: I think I forgot to negate the result from IsPlayerSpawned(). I'll be back with a fix.

EDIT: Updated the post with the code. Try that and let me know.

It still doesn't work. Nothing happens, just like before.
Testing it by yourself will make you realize faster what's the problem.

I'm having some issues with my monitor and I'm not at my PC right now. I will actually test this when I get a new one or at least get a provisory monitor.

Since this was fixed by developers, I will just lock this.
