The Stuffcmd tutorial - Quake 2

[page=Start]

Alright! You've managed to click here. Good job!

Eheh. Anyways, this is a little (and I mean tiny) function to make you (the coder) able to force commands upon clients (little innocent people) to make them initiate a command whenever, whatever and where ever you put it.

[page=The Stuffcmd]

First, let's go to p_client.c, and right at the end, add this:

// this functions is used to send commands to the clients
void stuffcmd(edict_t *ent, char *s) 	
{
   	gi.WriteByte (11);	        
	gi.WriteString (s);
	gi.unicast (ent, true);	
}

Now, go to G_local, and right after:

// common data blocks
	moveinfo_t		moveinfo;
	monsterinfo_t	monsterinfo;

add:

void (*stuffcmd)(edict_t *ent, char *s);

There ya go! Now, this can be used for example to force aliases upon entering the game, or to open a config on start, or anything.. just enter something like:

stuffcmd (ent, "cmd kill\n");

and it will kill the person whenever something is specified or whatever.

Use it sometime!
