Custom params in event

[nullable]

Hello,

How can I get custom variable from client console in connect. I mean next:
In client console I am typing:

Code: Select all

name test1; setinfo var1 test2; connect 111.111.111.111

I want to get name and var1 variables in player_connect event. How can I get them?

Syntax: Select all

from events import Event

@Event
def player_connect(game_event):
    pass

Syntax: Select all

from engines.server import engine_server
from events import Event

@Event
def player_connect(game_event):
    name = game_event.get_string('name')

    index = game_event.get_int('index')

    var1 = engine_server.get_client_convar_value(index, 'var1')

You can also get 'name' using engine_server.get_client_convar_value, but I don't think that matters, as 'name' is an event variable in player_connect.

Hmm, var1 is printing empty string but index = 0

[satoon101]

Yeah, seems that player_connect is too early. I tried using the listeners.ClientConnect decorator, but I am receiving a to_python error with that, currently. Once we have that fixed, that will likely be the route you would want to take. For now, you will have to use either player_spawn (check for team=0) or player_activate.

Fixed the error. https://github.com/Source-Python-Dev-Team/Source.Python/commit/cabf965e68bd69f5d1fd4ca262d04d8039cf2221

Example:

Syntax: Select all

from listeners import ClientConnect

@ClientConnect
def on_client_connect(allow_connect_ptr, player_index, player_name, ip_port,
        reject_msg_ptr, max_reject_length):
        
    # Disallow every connection
    allow_connect_ptr.set_bool(False)
    reject_msg_ptr.set_string_array('You shall not pass'[:max_reject_length])

I tried to use your code in an event player_activate but the same result.

[satoon101]

If you mean that you just changed player_connect to player_activate, of course that wouldn't work. There is no event variable 'index' in that event. You need to get the index via the userid event variable with index_from_userid. Also, if you build a new build yourself with Ayuto's fix, you can use the ClientConnect listener.

[Doldol]

you can use the ClientConnect listener.

Why would that be preferred to player_activate? It doesn't get called on a map change and has different arguments? (And you can return False to disallow a player to join!? That's nice.)

[satoon101]

It depends on what you need to do. ClientConnect, as Ayuto mentioned, allows you to disallow the player from joining.

[nullable]

The same:

Syntax: Select all

@Event
def player_activate(game_event):
    userid = game_event.get_int('userid')
    index = index_from_userid(userid)
    name = game_event.get_string('name')
    print("gameevent_name: %s" % name) # Empty
    name = engine_server.get_client_convar_value(index, 'name')
    print("convar_name: %s" % name) # Steam account
    var1 = engine_server.get_client_convar_value(index, 'var1')
    print("var1: %s" % var1) # Empty

[Ayuto]

player_activate doesn't have a "name" variable.

Your last line contains an error.

[nullable]

I mean I can't get var1 variable. Please help me to get it.

[satoon101]

Strange, it worked for me when I tested last night, as did player_spawn.

[L'In20Cible]

Same, just tested the exact same code you gave on CS:S and CS:GO - works on both game.

[nullable]

If I connect through steam the name is not override. Is it normal case?

[Ayuto]

"name" is set to the name you use in Steam and you can't change this variable. Did you use a cracked game previously?

[nullable]

I have never used the cracked version before. The idea is to change nick after player activated. Is it possible?

[satoon101]

No, you can only change your name via Steam. It has been this way for a very long time.
