-Super cool! Thanks for this awesome update! I want to be first in line for the Visual Studio extension haha. There are just a couple more things we need interfaced to create some amazing mods:
-* Damage detection and modification (internally, a hook to CTerrorPlayer::OnTakeDamage())
-* Ability to block game events and/or modify game event params
-* Force player to animate in a certain fashion (something like CBaseCombatWeapon::SendViewModelAnim() or CBaseViewModel::SendViewModelMatchingSequence() for view models and the CBaseAnimating function for player animations)
-* Get/set entity networked properties (e.g. m_fEffects, m_hOwnerEntity, etc) and datamap offsets
-* Ability to send usermessages
-* Ability to call AI functions (e.g. Action<SomeClass>::OnCommandApproach())
-* Ability to dynamically change entity models
-If we have those, we can mod practically anything! I started incorporating vehicles (a controllable boat actually), and it would really help if I had the above features for my map's scripts. I dream of virtual marketplaces in L4D2, a money system, direct AI behavior, etc. :) Anyway, how do I become an "official" beta tester for the EMS system?
