Anyone know a way to check if a client's flashlight is on or off? Short of tracking it manually from when they spawn. I'd rather explore other possibilities before doing this.

289 CHL2MP_Player::FlashlightIsOn(void)
290 CHL2MP_Player::FlashlightTurnOn(void)
291 CHL2MP_Player::FlashlightTurnOff(void)

isnt this so cool?
maybe on other game like css u can use this
but...not sure about l4d2...
and i found this from sourcemod homepage`s
virtual offset list page.

Ooh

CCSPlayer::FlashlightIsOn()
CCSPlayer::FlashlightTurnOn()
CCSPlayer::FlashlightTurnOff()

Didn't think to check virtual offsets. Only checked entity properties.

Thanks!

CBasePlayer::IsIlluminatedByFlashlight(CBaseEntity*, float*)

Interesting..

Or you can check the player's m_fEffects offset, if it's 0, the player's flashlight is off, and if it's 4, the player's flashlight is on. You can also force it on or off by setting the data to the corresponding value.

Sorry for using that old post...

CBasePlayer::IsIlluminatedByFlashlight(CBaseE ntity*, float*)

I would like to use that function for CS:S but I don't really know how... This is what I did :

new Handle:g_hIsIlluminatedByFlashlight = INVALID_HANDLE; public OnPluginStart() { g_hToolsGameConfig = LoadGameConfigFile("plugin.predatormod"); StartPrepSDKCall(SDKCall_Player); PrepSDKCall_SetFromConf(g_hToolsGameConfig, SDKConf_Virtual, "IsIlluminatedByFlashlight"); PrepSDKCall_SetReturnInfo(SDKType_Bool, SDKPass_ByValue); PrepSDKCall_AddParameter(SDKType_CBaseEntity, SDKPass_Pointer); PrepSDKCall_AddParameter(SDKType_Float, SDKPass_Pointer); g_hIsIlluminatedByFlashlight = EndPrepSDKCall(); } bool IsIlluminatedByFlashlight(client) { SDKCall(g_hIsIlluminatedByFlashlight, *client, 0.0); }

First I supposed that the function return a boolean but I am not sure.
Second, I don't know if my declarations are good but at the end, I got an error in the declaration : "error 010: invalid function or declaration"
Is the first argument (CBaseEntity*) the entity or client to check if it's illuminated or not ? What is the float in the second argument ? And why do they use pointers ?
I don't know where I can find the documentation...

Hum this works for me.

PHP Code:

                //Set Ent Data:
                GetEntProp(Client, Prop_Data, "m_fEffects");

Do you use it to know if a player is illuminated by a flashlight or to know if the flashlight is ON or OFF ? Because I need the first use.

[Master53]

well "m_fEffects" you can ether set or get the values which it contains if "m_fEffects" is set to 0 that will turn the flashlight of but if its set to 4 the flashlight will turn on.
not sure i've explainded it well...

[zipcore]

is there any way to detect if someone is illuminated by a flashlight?

[Paaf]

Yes Yes I understand but that's not what I need actually. I need to detect when a player is illuminated by a flashlight. That's why I am interested by this function

CBasePlayer::IsIlluminatedByFlashlight(CBaseE ntity*, float*)

but I don't know how to declare it and what arguments and parameters does it use...
