entitylump showtriggers

note: my hook_settransmit is still global so you'll need to wait til i get around to focusing on that

so this is something i made while playing around with sourcemod's new entitylump module added in 1.12. so this won't support any sourcemod version older than 1.12. it is a sourcemod plugin for visualizing and debugging triggers in source engine games. handy for mappers or server owners, or just surfers. this plugin lets you:

• toggle visibility individual triggers by targetname, or classname.
• change colours of individual triggers by targetname, or classname.
• search for specific triggers by targetname or classname.
• identify triggers by pointing your crosshair at them
• easily view a list of all triggers currently on the map
• view entity info like outputs and other properties for any trigger
• save and load profiles so you can easily reload your colour / trigger visibility setup
• share profiles with others

main commands

command	description
!st or !showtriggers	opens the main menu
!stsearch [term]	search triggers by name/class (empty = show all)
!identifytrigger	opens settings for whatever trigger you're looking at
!sthelp	get help

menu system

the main menu (!st) gives you access to:

1. toggle by type - enable/disable entire trigger categories by classname
2. search / find triggers - find specific triggers and view their properties, toggle visibility, etc.
3. my enabled triggers - manage triggers that you have toggled on
4. display settings - opacity and display mode (todo)
5. commands & help - quick reference

trigger info

when you select a trigger, you can view detailed info including:

• classname and targetname
• entity index and hammerid
• spawnflags
• world position and bounding box
• parent entity (if any)
• all outputs and their targets
• command to change its colour

color commands and supported trigger types

i will add more soon, but currently we support 4 entities, with some special cases for trigger_multiple:

1. set color for a trigger by classname. types are:

0 = trigger_multiple
1 = trigger_push  
2 = trigger_teleport
3 = trigger_teleport_relative

sm_stcolor <type> <r> <g> <b> [a]

2. set color for special trigger_multiple subtypes:

0 = normal
1 = gravity
2 = anti-gravity
3 = base velocity

sm_stcolor_special <type> <r> <g> <b> [a]

3. set a custom color for a specific trigger entity.

// the search menu will generate this link for you with the ent index

sm_stcolor_ent <entity_index> <r> <g> <b> [a]

4. set opacity for all trigger types at once.

sm_stopacity <0-255>

display commands

todo: currently only solid. want to add beam outlines at some point.

profile commands

profiles let you save and load your trigger display settings per-map. you can also share and copy other peoples.

sm_stprofile_save <name> [public]
sm_stprofile_load <name> [public] [map]
sm_stprofile_list [public] [map]
sm_stprofile_copy <name> <frommap> [public] [newname]

how to install

all color preferences are saved via clientprefs cookies, so they persist across sessions. profiles are stored in a sqlite database triggerprefs.sq3. make sure you add to your addons/sourcemod/configs/databases.cfg:

	"triggerprefs"
	{
		"driver"			"sqlite"
		"host"				"localhost"
		"database"			"triggerprefs"
		"user"				"root"
		"pass"				""
	}

the database will autogenerate

notes

• outline mode is disabled in this version (the beam rendering was causing issues)
• individual trigger settings are stored by hammerid, so they'll persist across map reloads but not across different maps
• the search function checks both targetname and classname
• profiles are map-specific by design
