MSG_ON and MSG_ALL are reliable. Meaning, if the message doesn't reach the client, the server is possible to crash. Or the client will be dropped. For everything else, they aren't really used. But besides "MSG_BROADCAST" and "MSG_ONE_UNRELIABLE" I don't know about the others.

So if I do a MSG_ALL, how can I stop it from sending to bad users? I know I can wrap the MSG_ONE in some clausals, but the MSG_ALL isnt in a loop or anything where i can interogate each client the MSG_ALL is sent to.

Does that make sense? How would I check that?

A simple check of "is_user_connected()" is fine. Even if it's a bot, and a message is sent to it. It wouldn't crash. If anything, you can use "MSG_ONE_UNRELIANLE"

Are you saying I can do this?

PHP Code:

if( is_user_connected( id ) )
{
     message_begin( MSG_ALL, SVC_TEMPENTITY );
    write_byte( TE_PLAYERATTACHMENT );
    write_byte( id );
    write_coord( 0 ); // z axis for sprite
    write_short( blast ); // blast sprite
    write_short( 9 );
    message_end( );
} 


I am already doing something similar for MSG_ONE, I'm just not sure how to handle the broadcasts, as well as client_print( 0, ... ) since they are sent to everyone, and for all I know that could be the cause of the crash.

You shouldn't need to handle anything.. It's rare when a client doesn't get a reliable message, and the server crashes from it.. "client_print()" also already handles this.. So.. There's no need for that.. And.. You are sending that message to everyone.. So.. Why check "is_user_connected()" when you're sending it to everyone.. not a single player.

becuase I had asked about avoiding this server crash error from these reliable messages - and while it is rare I would like to limit it as much as possible.

But your response:

A simple check of "is_user_connected()" is fine. Even if it's a bot, and a message is sent to it. It wouldn't crash. If anything, you can use "MSG_ONE_UNRELIANLE"

to my question regarding MSG_ALL didnt make much sense to me which is why I asked that last question. If I misunderstood your response, I appologize.

Oops. I didn't compleately read your last question. Also, you said you don't know how to handle the broadcast. I don't know if you meant "MSG_BROADCAST" or.. Litterly broadcasting messages between all the players. But, since 'MSG_BROADCAST' is un-reliable, you don't need to do anything. If you're wanting to use "MSG_ALL" and want to check the clients, before you send the message. Just loop through all the players connected.

public SomeFunc()
{
    new iPlayers[32],iNum,player
    get_players(iPlayers,iNum)
    for(new i;i<iNum;i++)
    {
        player = iPlayers[i]
        
        if(is_user_connected(player))
        {
            // Do Stuff
        }
    }
}
