[maxime1907]

Would be nice if its possible to display the boss death to the upper right corner like a player suicide

Require to make it with a fakeclient. Idk how to do it properly without using fakeclient Do you have any idea?

[maxime1907]

from zombiereloaded we do it this way but idk if its possible its just an idea that popped into my head

    g_hCvarsList.CVAR_INFECT_EVENT_WEAPON              =    CreateConVar("zr_infect_event_weapon",         "zombie_claws_of_death",            "Weapon icon used when the death event is sent for a player that gets infected.");

    // If attacker is valid, then continue.
    if (ZRIsClientValid(attacker))
    {
        // Create and send custom player_death event.
        Handle event = CreateEvent("player_death");
        if (event != INVALID_HANDLE)
        {
            char eventWeapon[MAX_EVENT_LENGTH];
            GetConVarString(g_hCvarsList.CVAR_INFECT_EVENT_WEAPON, eventWeapon, MAX_EVENT_LENGTH);
            SetEventInt(event, "userid", GetClientUserId(client));
            SetEventInt(event, "attacker", GetClientUserId(attacker));
            SetEventString(event, "weapon", eventWeapon);
            FireEvent(event, false);
        }

        // Apply score and health gain.
        InfectUpdateScore(attacker, client);
    }

I was able to create the event etc.. But the problem is the name of the boss. We cant set a name to it. https://wiki.alliedmods.net/Counter-Strike:_Source_Events#player_death An idea is to requiere SourceTV, to force the name change of it and use sourceTV as the victim (userid)

Side effect: Rename SourceTV can lead to unwanted issue with others plugins/exts who's already using SourceTV (ex rename sourcetv can break the demo irc)

[maxime1907]

yeah touching sourcetv is just not recommended because it will conflict with other stuff

[Rushaway]

After hours of debugging, the problem with sourcetv who stop recording was due to :

• it was moved to a team by an admin
• get kicked

Renaming the sourcetv does not make any problem and does not break anything even if it's recording (was tested aswell)

So I want to go with sourcetv for this feature, by just using SetClientName to the boss and right after the fake event was fired rename it back to original name.

Spoiler: I made it works like a charm with sourcetv.

I can also make it with FakeClients if the server does not have sourcetv, but for me this feature should only go with sourcetv enabled.

lol nice one! cant wait to see this feature on our servers :smiley:

it makes me think about the record being stopped, could we do something to autofix it, in case anything bad happens ? (can we make a fix in autorecorder)

[Rushaway]

We already have forward for detect when a record is stoped, but feel free to open an issue on the repo.
