Messaging system

Well sending messige is something like taht:

MESSAGE_BEGIN(MSG_ONE, Msg, NULL, pl->edict());
WRITE_BYTE(Byte);
WRITE_STRING(Textorsmth);
MESSAGE_END();

But were do I find message list for Health and... (I have VGUI message list) for MOD? Maybe I should ask creators? It's not a Half-Life (msgs are in SDK )

If you use metamod, you can use the GET_USER_MSG_ID (PLID, "Health", NULL); macro to get the message ID for Health messages.

If you don't use metamod, you have to keep track yourself of who's who, by hooking pfnRegUserMsg() and checking the return values. pfnRegUserMsg() is called by the MOD when the server boots up so that the MOD can register its network messages to the engine ; the engine replies back with a message ID that will be associated to that message name. By hooking this function you can build yourself a table where you'll look up which message ID corresponds to which message name, and vice versa.

BTW, learning everything that is to learn in the world is a really nice hobby. Keep it up

Thanks! I'm using MetaMOD! Well and current step of learning everything is HL SDK. I already know many things, especialy about PCs.
And if you know some good MetaMOD coding links, feel free to share...

Oh about good is REAL... Thats a good joke

These are old metamod plugins for very old game called Half-Life and I have stopped wasting all of my time coding/supporting theim.

Is he stuipid or what!?

please stop spamming, though. Consider editing your posts to save space.

wouldn't it be simpler to check indexent->v.health if you want to know health rather than intercepting the messages? or pPlayer->v.health or whatever you prefer to call it....

[Pierre-Marie Baty]

he does not want to KNOW the health... he wants to SET it. Nuance

[botmeister]

To change the health of a player, just do this:

pPlayer->v.health = new_heath;

but you guys must already know this?

[Pierre-Marie Baty]

tsk tsk tsk botmeister...

this is NOT sufficient
