- et.G_SlotSound( slotnum, soundindex ) -> Plays the sound soundindex at for the player @ slotnum only. --[[User:RoadKillPuppy|RoadKillPuppy]] 14:17, 16 December 2005 (PST)
:you can do this with tempentities and SVF_SINGLECLIENT ...

some of this can be done via function et_Print(text).. but this would greatly simplify life, 
my wish list for christmas: 
- getUserEguid(cno) - get a client's etpro guid? 
- repair gentity_set for vec3 - scotty fix the transporter please

- et.trap_SendServerCommand(cno, "kill") - punish client as alternative to setting health

:You can use et.G_Damage() in the new test version to do that.--[[User:Bani|Bani]] 01:38, 23 December 2005 (PST)

trap sen server cmd is a ET engine trap the comand u send it send to the client and recived as a server command no a client command

to add ill well that would be al ot of coding for not much [[User:=FF=im2good4u|=FF=Im2good4u]] 12:12, 20 December 2005 (PST)

aight thnx. 
heres another api request, i'd like to be able to get a clients xp directly. et.gentity_get(cno, "sess.game_points") seems to return 0 always (?) 
--[[User:Hadr0|Hadr0]] 15:38, 21 December 2005 (PST)
:oh nevermind, i see this can be done now with xp = et.gentity_get(cno, "ps.stats", 8)
:nice... --[[User:Hadr0|Hadr0]] 16:58, 23 December 2005 (PST)

add a way to determine if a client is 999, and if possible why he's 999 (loading, connecting, loosing packets, etc) 
--Gotenks

999 means: server has not been sent data from client for > 1000 ms. So there is no way to certainly tell why.
The timeoutflag is stored in the pmflags IIRC. Don't know if lua can read them right now. --[[User:Deus|Deus]] 23:12, 22 December 2005 (PST) 
Still would like access to the ping, or a dummy variable if they are 999, but also the ammount of time they are inactive.

== IPC stuff ==

<hr>
i would like a et_IPCReceive whit an return value so u can send info back on a request

i would like a et_IPCSend that can send to all lua mods then them mods can decide if the wana use that message or not
[[User:=FF=im2good4u|=FF=Im2good4u]] 12:35, 8 January 2006 (PST)
<hr>
et_IPCReceive wouldn't send it to the other mod... afaik... so just use another send
just et_IPCSend to all modules (afaik, you can even send to ones not there), simple loop function
[[User:gotenks|gotenks]] 20:04, 8 January 2006 (CST)

yeh probely but its not verry handy its better to get the good vmnumber or to e able to send on mod filenames

apart from that returning a value will be more handy since tnhe u cna contine in 1 funtion else u got to reacise it in the recieve funtion [[User:=FF=im2good4u|=FF=Im2good4u]] 10:45, 9 January 2006 (PST)

bani i need a console print function on the client that does sepport ascii plz [[User:=FF=im2good4u|=FF=Im2good4u]] 12:49, 12 January 2006 (PST)

bani: how about a et_sound(id, sound) event? [[User:gotenks|gotenks]] 20:45, 17 January 2006 (CST)
:[http://wolfwiki.anime.net/index.php/ETPro:Lua_Mod_API#sound et.G_Sound( entnum, soundindex )] --[[User:Bani|Bani]] 22:07, 18 January 2006 (PST)
:bani, i was referring to an on event call, so when a sound is played et_sound(id,sound) would be called.[[User:gotenks|gotenks]] 21:45, 20 January 2006 (CST)
::most sounds are clientside... this would not be of much use. --[[User:Bani|Bani]] 04:42, 22 January 2006 (PST)
:::except for checking when something like a killing spree sound is activated--[[User:gotenks|gotenks]] 07:54, 23 January 2006 (CST)
:::::There would be no way for you to know what sound was activated. You can't get a filename from the soundindex.--[[User:Bani|Bani]] 10:19, 24 January 2006 (PST)
:::::This is a case where IPCSend/IPCReceive would be useful, so mods can notify each other of specific events.--[[User:Bani|Bani]] 02:40, 7 February 2006 (PST)

Is it possible to get a player's live angles? Fieldname "s.angles" only gives the spawn angles. Tried "rotate", "s.angles2", "TargetAngles", "r.currentAngles" as well but they just give 0.000000 for each element. thanks for any help --[[User:Hadr0|Hadr0]] 01:35, 25 January 2006 (PST)
:This will be fixed in the next release, where you will get access to ps.viewangles--[[User:Bani|Bani]] 02:33, 7 February 2006 (PST)

== LoadLib ==

== XP control not just skill ==

I would like to request RW access to the "sess.skillpoints" array

At least a callback on et.G_AddSkillPoints ( '''cno''', '''skill''', '''points''' ) [[User:=FF=im2good4u|=FF=Im2good4u]] 07:45, 8 March 2006 (PST)
