Dissolver causes player ragdolls to dissolve when a player dies. This is an updated version of your-name-here's Dissolver that works for the newest SP version and can be used on more games than just CS:GO and CS:S.

There are config translations involved, and only English and German (thank you, BackRaw) are currently supported. If you have translations, please issue a Pull Request on the repository:

This plugin has been tested to work on CS:S, CS:GO, TF2, DOD:S, HL2:DM, and BM:S. The effects on CS:GO aren't very spiffy, but they "work". There's not much we can do about that, unfortunately.

The current configuration allows for setting the dissolve type and the magnitude of the dissolving. There is also a configuration variable for the number of seconds to wait before starting the dissolve. The current default configuration looks like:


Setting the dissolve type to REMOVE will simply remove the ragdoll instead of dissolving it. Setting the dissolve type to RANDOM will cause a random dissolve type to be chosen each time.

This plugin requires SP version 265 or newer.

Hello,

For me the pluggin successfully loads, but I have this error after a dead :



I'm using this version of SP : Construction #267 (1 mars 2016 14:41:20)

You can fix this error by removing the '1' in the string in line 117.

And the same at the line 133

Thanks

Sorry about that, I will fix that shortly.

*Edit: updated to fix those errors. Version 1.1b now available in the first post.

Updated plugin for newest SP changes.

Hey, looks like something doesnt work right here.

File "..\addons\source-python\plugins\dissolver\dissolver.py", line 115, in _dissolve_ragdoll
entity = Entity(index_from_inthandle(inthandle))

OverflowError: can't convert negative value to unsigned int

CS:S Windows

What if you replace line 113


with this:

?

Well, if I remember correctly, inthandles on Linux can be negative, so that wouldn't fix the issue. It seems more like it could be an issue with index_from_inthandle than specifically with this script, but I could be wrong.

It depends on how the value of the inthandle is retrieved (int or unsigned int).

What's the output of print(inthandle) in the erroneous situation?

If I remember correctly, back in the day Invincible explained something incorrect with SP and why INVALID_ENTITY_INTHANDLE doesn't work for checking for inthandle validity, and why -1 works (I might indeed be wrong about negative indexes - those besides -1 - in general).

But I'm afraid that post was one of those 3 posts which vanished during vBulletin -> phpBB migration... You told you had the screenshots. You might look up there, I remember there was something important.

@decompile - please replace line 115 with the following and post the output here (note that the 'try' should have 4 leading spaces...we really need to fix that issue on the forums):

Output: Invalid inthandle: -1

The issue is because the Entity class is reading "raw" values while INVALID_ENTITY_INTHANDLE comparison would works if it was internally using the proxy of the SendProp. See also: viewtopic.php?f=14&t=585&p=4285#p4285

I cannot seem to replicate this issue. It always seems to work fine for my testing on CS:S Windows. What exact scenario happens when this error occurs?

Maybe they get respawned before dissolving? Then the ragdoll is removed by the game on respawn.

Yep, I can replicate it now. So, it would seem to be a setup issue, not an issue with the plugin itself. Try setting the dissolver_delay to a lower value if you have deathmatch enabled. If this is for a plugin where there is no set time before the player is respawned (waves or left-click to respawn), I would suggest implementing the functionality in your plugin directly and calling it prior to respawning any players.

Could also be fixed easily by retrieving the ragdoll into your player_death event and use Entity.delay on it passing it to the dissolve method instead of passing the player so the delay gets cancelled if the ragdoll entity itself gets removed. This would also fix an exception into Player.from_userid in case the player disconnect prior the delay expires (common rage quit ).

Pretty much this :D

But ye, I tried to add a fast team join plugin, and suddenly respawned right after I switched the team, but had no clue this was the issue, lol.

Release 1.3 is now available in the first post. Please try that and let me know if you have any further issues.
