VScript

SourceMod plugin that exposes many VScript features to make use of it. Currently supports L4D2 and TF2.

Builds

All builds can be found here. To download latest build version, select latest package then "Artifacts" section underneath.

Requirements

• At least SourceMod version 1.12.0.6924
• sourcescramble

Features

vscript.inc and vscript_test.sp should give enough documentation on how to make use of it, but below gives some basic examples on common features:

Compiles and Executes a script

Compiles and executes a script code with params and returns, helpful when RunScriptCode input does not support receiving returns.

public void OnPluginStart()
{
	HSCRIPT script = VScript_CompileScript("printl(\"Wow a message!\"); return 4242; function PrintMessage(param) { printl(param) }");
	
	VScriptExecute execute = new VScriptExecute(script);
	execute.Execute();
	int ret = execute.ReturnValue;
	PrintToServer("%d", ret);	// Expected to print 4242
	
	delete execute;
	
	// Call a PrintMessage function
	execute = new VScriptExecute(HSCRIPT_RootTable.GetValue("PrintMessage"));
	execute.SetParamString(1, FIELD_CSTRING, "Hello!");
	execute.Execute();
	
	delete execute;
	script.ReleaseScript();
}

SDKCall/DHook native function

This allows to directly call or detour a function without needing to manually get gamedata signatures. Parameters and returns are automatically set to the handle.

Handle g_SDKCallGetAngles;

public void OnPluginStart()
{
	VScriptFunction func = VScript_GetClassFunction("CBaseEntity", "GetAngles");
	g_SDKCallGetAngles = func.CreateSDKCall();
	DynamicDetour detour = func.CreateDetour();
	detour.Enable(Hook_Post, Detour_GetAngles);
	
	RegConsoleCmd("sm_getangles", Command_GetAngles);
}

Action Command_GetAngles(int client, int args)
{
	float angles[3];
	SDKCall(g_SDKCallGetAngles, client, angles);
	ReplyToCommand(client, "result: x = %.2f, y = %.2f, z = %.2f", angles[0], angles[1], angles[2]);
	return Plugin_Handled;
}

MRESReturn Detour_GetAngles(int entity, DHookReturn ret)
{
	float angles[3];
	ret.GetVector(angles);
	PrintToServer("entity %d angles: x = %.2f, y = %.2f, z = %.2f", entity, angles[0], angles[1], angles[2]);
	return MRES_Ignored;
}

Create new native function

Creates a new native function where scripts can make use of it. Does nothing by default but can use VScriptFunction.CreateDetour above to do actions and set return.

VScriptFunction g_NewFunction;

public void OnPluginStart()
{
	// Create a new function, or get an existing one if name already exists
	g_NewFunction = VScript_CreateGlobalFunction("NewFunction");
	g_NewFunction.SetParam(1, FIELD_FLOAT);
	g_NewFunction.Return = FIELD_INTEGER;
	g_NewFunction.SetFunctionEmpty();
}

public void OnMapStart()
{
	// Global function need to be registered everytime g_pScriptVM has been reset, which usually happens on mapchange
	g_NewFunction.Register();
}

VScript_EntityToHScript and VScript_HScriptToEntity

VScript uses FIELD_HSCRIPT to interact with entities, so VScript_EntityToHScript and VScript_HScriptToEntity are helpful functions to convert between entity index and hscript object to manage with it.

Known Issues

In L4D2 linux, attempting to reset g_pScriptVM will eventually cause a crash. For now a plugin prevents any attempts to reset such, meaning that not everything may work properly until a mapchange occurs.
