Callbacks
=========
Here is a list of all the Lua callbacks of Legacy mod.
qagame execution
================
et_InitGame( levelTime, randomSeed, restart )
---------------------------------------------
Called when qagame initializes.
* `levelTime` is the current level time in milliseconds.
* `randomSeed` is a number that can be used to seed random number generators.
* `restart` indicates if et_InitGame() is being called due to a `map_restart` (1) or not (0).
et_ShutdownGame( restart )
--------------------------
Called when qagame shuts down.
* `restart` indicates if the shutdown is being called due to a `map_restart` (1) or not (0).
et_RunFrame( levelTime )
------------------------
Called when qagame runs a server frame.
* `levelTime` is the current level time in milliseconds.
et_Quit()
---------
Called when Legacy unloads the mod.
The mod should close all open filedescriptors and perform all cleanup.
Client management
=================
rejectreason = et_ClientConnect( clientNum, firstTime, isBot )
--------------------------------------------------------------
Called when a client attempts to connect to the server.
* `clientNum` is the client slot id.
* `firstTime` indicates if this is a new connection (1) or a reconnection (0).
* `isBot` indicates if the client is a bot (1) or not (0).
If the mod accepts the connection, it should return `nil`. Otherwise, the mod should return a string describing the reason the client connection was rejected.
et_ClientDisconnect( clientNum )
--------------------------------
Called when a client disconnects.
* `clientNum` is the client slot id.
et_ClientBegin( clientNum )
---------------------------
Called when a client begins (becomes active, and enters the gameworld).
* `clientNum` is the client slot id.
et_ClientUserinfoChanged( clientNum )
-------------------------------------
Called when a client's Userinfo string has changed.
* `clientNum` is the client slot id.
.. note:: This only gets called when the players CS_PLAYERS config string changes, rather than every time the userinfo changes. This only happens for a subset of userinfo fields.
et_ClientSpawn( clientNum, revived, teamChange, restoreHealth )
---------------------------------------------------------------
Called when a client is spawned.
* `clientNum` is the client slot id.
* `revived` indicates if the client was spawned by being revived (1) or not (0).
* `teamChange` indicates if the client changed team (1) or not (0).
* `restoreHealth` indicates if the player health bar is fully restored (1) or not (0).
Commands
========
intercepted = et_ClientCommand( clientNum, command )
----------------------------------------------------
Called when a command is received from a client.
* `clientNum` is the client slot id.
* `command` is the command.
The mod should return 1 if the command was intercepted by the mod, and 0 if the command was ignored by the mod and should be passed through to the server (and other mods in the chain).
.. tip:: The actual command can be accessed through the argument handling functions, as seen in the `Sample Code <sample.html>`__.
intercepted = et_ConsoleCommand()
---------------------------------
Called when a command is entered on the server console.
The mod should return 1 if the command was intercepted by the mod, and 0 if the command was ignored by the mod and should be passed through to the server (and other mods in the chain).
.. tip:: The actual command can be accessed through the argument handling functions, as seen in the `Sample Code <sample.html>`__.
XP
==
et_UpgradeSkill( clientNum, skill )
-----------------------------
Called when a client gets a skill upgrade.
* `clientNum` is the client slot.
* `skill` is the skill number.
Return -1 to override (abort) the qagame function, anything else to "passthrough". Callback may modify skills (or do anything else it wants) during passthrough.
et_SetPlayerSkill( clientNum, skill )
-------------------------------
Called when a client skill is set.
* `clientNum` is the client slot.
* `skill` is the skill number.
Return -1 to override (abort) the qagame function, anything else to "passthrough". Callback may modify skills (or do anything else it wants) during passthrough.
Miscellaneous
=============
et_IPCReceive( vmnumber, message )
----------------------------------
Called when another mod sends an et.IPCSend() message to this mod.
* `vmnumber` is the VM slot number of the sender.
* `message` is the message.
et_Print( text )
----------------
Called whenever the server or qagame prints a string to the console.
.. warning:: Text may contain a player name and their chat message. This makes it very easy to spoof.
DO NOT TRUST STRINGS OBTAINED IN THIS WAY!
et_Obituary( target, attacker, meansOfDeath )
-------------------------------------------
Called whenever a player is killed.
* `target` is the victim.
* `attacker` is the killer.
