Is there a reliable way to know that transitioning is complete? For instance, say I want to reset health on subsequent maps, depending on the load in time, sometimes this works, others it happens too early and then get's set to the previous level.

I'm also having instances where some weapons only have one clip of ammo and no more.

What might be nice in addition to AllowWeaponSpawn, is something akin to AllowTakeDamage that allows us to modify a weapon spawn. So we might adjust the ammo count, change weapon type, or return false to spawn nothing.

Also, is there a way to do something on the end of a round? I would like to have a short stats screen occur with round statistics when the survivors are safe but it jumps right to the "We're Safe For Now" screen.

Perhaps we could have a hook, like OnActivate that if exists, is called before transition to the next map? And pauses the tranistion until we return false, or times out (maybe 5 seconds)

Also wouldn't hate being able to set the color of HUD element text.

Would it be though? I mean I thought all the cost was the entity IO. I mean a list of strings and Vectors doesn't seem to be a big deal especially since it never changes.

Let's take a for instance, you wanted to have a mutation where you want the survivors to be able to , I dunno, siphon gas from random cars to fuel an escape.Now many cars in many maps are static. If you knew where they were, you could put your little usable target on the model in the right place, easily in script.

The alternative is to decompile all these maps or otherwise maually collect and spec this in script specific maps.

Now in the scheme of things, there are things I want much more, priority wise. Just saying might have some uses.

I still wouldn't mind having a way to retrieve what models where place where and in what orientation

Thanks for playing! Was a lot of fun and definitely good feedback. One, Normal with humans is too easy, I'll fix that. Try Advanced it gets tough depending on the maps you're playing

Ditto an early version of Tank Slayer. Still needs quote a bit of work but would appreciate feedback.
Workshop

I was going by the wiki (or what it had said, not sure now). Thanks for the info

Not that I know of. I just ended up using an entity reference as a key. Also player_spawn isn't in modevent, but it does work.

I noticed something and figured I'd mention it. Scripts get exectuted twice apparently. I was conditionally setting a slot in the root table (to track rounds) and noticed it was getting bumped twice.

Then I looked in the console and saw the issue. If you need to do something like that, you can just put the relevant code in OnActivate

I noticed when converting from using OnGameEvent_player_hurt to AllowTakeDamage, melee weapons are sending out a bunch of zero damaged events after the intial damage per swing.

The number of extra calls vary per weapon (tonfa has least) and I'm guessing becasue of that, it's firing for each hit ray? I don't suppose it hurts anything as the damage is correct but I imagine it's a lot of overhead in a mob if four people are swinging.

For instance, one bat hit on a tank produces 23 spurious calls to AllowTakeDamage

The player_hurt event handler is called once as expected

HUD's broken since Friday's update.

Some new stuff off the top of my head

Player member functions
.SetHealthBuffer() - sets a player's temp health
.GetHealthBuffer() - returns a player's temp health
.IsIncapacitated()
.IsHangingFromLedge()
.IsGhost()

General
TraceLine(traceTable) – uses a configuration table to do a raytrace, puts return information into the table for return usage. Returns false if the trace failed due to an error.
Inputs:
.start, .end – Vectors for the Trace
.ignore – entity handle to ignore as part of the trace
.mask – if you want a specific mask – TRACE_MASK_ALL, _SHOT, _PLAYER_SOLID, _NPC_SOLID, _SHOT, _VISIBLE_AND_NPCS

Outputs:
.hit – did we hit something
.pos – where the traceline ended
.fraction – where the hit occurred
.enthit – handle for entity hit if there is one
.startsolid – did we start in solid
