What I'm trying to do is create an improved spectate mode, and I had this idea where players who are scoped have the tag Scoping or whatever. Obviously, the tag should only be sent to players that are in spectate mode, but would it be possible to do a select update? Send_Object_Update doesn't work.
This is the basic code I have so far, but it sends the tag to all players
DynamicVectorClass<int> SpectatingPlayers;
void ExamplePlugin::OnThink()
{
for(SLNode<cPlayer>* PlayerIter = Get_Player_List()->Head(); (PlayerIter != NULL); PlayerIter = PlayerIter->Next())
{
cPlayer* cP = PlayerIter->Data();
if(cP && cP->IsActive)
{
GameObject* PlayerObj = Get_GameObj(cP->PlayerId);
if(PlayerObj)
{
if(PlayerObj->As_SoldierGameObj()->Is_Sniping() == true)
{
cP->customTag.Format(L"Sniping");
cP->Set_Object_Dirty_Bit(NetworkObjectClass::BIT_CREATION, true); //remove this line
for(int i = 0; i < SpectatingPlayers.Length(); i++)
{
//Do the update here
}
}
else
{
cP->customTag.Format(L"");
cP->Set_Object_Dirty_Bit(NetworkObjectClass::BIT_CREATION, true); //remove this line
for(int i = 0; i < SpectatingPlayers.Length(); i++)
{
//Do the update here
}
}
}
}
}

Simplify it first so it runs for only one guy in spectate.
Try:
cP->customTag.Format(L"Sniping");
Send_Object_Update(obj, PlayerID);
cP->customTag.Format(L"");
Or:
cP->customTag.Format(L"Sniping");
cP->Set_Object_Dirty_Bits(PlayerID, NetworkObjectClass::BIT_CREATION);
Send_Object_Update(obj, PlayerID);
cP->customTag.Format(L"");
Otherwise you can attach an object or float an object above sniping players for one second and only have these shown for spectating players. I recommend you add a simple check at the start of OnThink() to make the code only run every second or so. Use GetTickCount64().

Thanks Ethenal
Iran, the second code works, thanks so much
For anyone interested, this is the current, working code.
DynamicVectorClass<int> SpectatingPlayers;
bool IsSniping[128];
int LastCheck = 0;
int Seconds_Difference(int time1, int time2)
{
time_t Time1(time1);
time_t Time2(time2);
return (int)difftime(Time1, Time2);
}
ExamplePlugin::ExamplePlugin()
{
RegisterEvent(EVENT_THINK_HOOK,this);
for(int i = 0; i < 127; i++)
{
IsSniping[i] = false;
}
}
ExamplePlugin::~ExamplePlugin()
{
UnregisterEvent(EVENT_THINK_HOOK,this);
}
void ExamplePlugin::OnThink()
{
int Seconds = Seconds_Difference((int)time(NULL), LastCheck);
if(Seconds >= 1)
{
LastCheck = (int)time(NULL);
for(SLNode<cPlayer>* PlayerIter = Get_Player_List()->Head(); (PlayerIter != NULL); PlayerIter = PlayerIter->Next())
{
cPlayer* cP = PlayerIter->Data();
if(cP && cP->IsActive)
{
GameObject* PlayerObj = Get_GameObj(cP->PlayerId);
if(PlayerObj)
{
if(PlayerObj->As_SoldierGameObj()->Is_Sniping() == true)
{
if(!IsSniping[cP->PlayerId])
{
IsSniping[cP->PlayerId] = true;
cP->customTag.Format(L"Scoped");
for (int i = 0;i < SpectatingPlayers.Count();i++)
{
int id = SpectatingPlayers[i];
cP->Set_Object_Dirty_Bit(id, NetworkObjectClass::BIT_CREATION, true);
Send_Object_Update(cP, id);
}
cP->customTag.Format(L"");
}
}
else
{
if(IsSniping[cP->PlayerId])
{
IsSniping[cP->PlayerId] = false;
cP->customTag.Format(L"");
cP->Set_Object_Dirty_Bit(NetworkObjectClass::BIT_CREATION, true);
}
}
}
}
}
}

You should modify this for-loop from:
for (int i = 0;i < SpectatingPlayers.Count();i++)
To:
for (int i = 0, e = SpectatingPlayers.Count();i < e;i++)
The latter is more efficient, the ::Count() function gets called for every iteration of the loop. This is the reason why this is done in the clang compiler source code.
Also you should use GetTickCount64(), it's a more efficient (the engine uses GetTickCount() in a few places, but that one rolls around every 45 days or so, GetTickCount64() rolls around every 5 million years).
