How Do I Record HLTV Events ?

[aniruddhapdeshpande99]

I was looking to track HLTV events in a game, especially the Events wherein you can track when an Observer changes the POV to another player or is using a fixed camera on an elevated position (For Eg. To Display some utility usage)

I found this link here below that has a list of HLTV Events for your reference:

Thanks.

Unfortunately the only HLTV events that are recorded in demo files are hltv_status and hltv_chat. You can get the camera man with the following code:

function getCameraMan(): Player | null {
  const cameraManAccountId = parseInt(
    demoFile.conVars.vars.get("spec_autodirector_cameraman") || "0"
  );
  if (isNaN(cameraManAccountId) || cameraManAccountId <= 0) return null;

  return demoFile.entities.getByAccountId(cameraManAccountId);
}

However I don't think this spec_autodirector_cameraman convar is used. The game client does include logic for an 'auto director' that swaps between players/actions that are interesting, but this is something that you'd have to reimplement yourself.
