One of the main problems for me when playing Counter-Strike was that I couldn't aim very well, and wasn't easily able to tell if I had hit someone. I would fire an AK at someone, but then they'd kill me and it turned out that I'd hit them once, twice if I was lucky. Valve added a feature to TF2 where it plays a "ding" sound every time you hit an enemy (which quickly helped to improve my aim), so I wondered, why shouldn't Counter-Strike have it, too?

Players can type /hitsound in chat to turn on the hitsound, and every time they hit someone, they'll hear a "ding!" sound to confirm the hit.

Just like TF2's hitsound, this one has a few rules. The hitsound will not play if:

• You hit someone through a wall, i.e. you don't have a clear line of sight to them
• You hit someone who is hidden in the smoke of a smoke grenade
• You're blinded by a flashbang

The first two rules don't apply if your hit was fatal, though. So if you kill someone who is hidden in smoke through a wall, you'll hear it

Oh, and cvars:

• sm_hitsounds_displaydamage (1/0, def. 1) If 1, also display damage done to the attacker. I know that Show Damage exists, but Hitsounds' damage text abides by the above rules.
• sm_hitsounds_rules (1/0, def. 1) Set to 0 to disable the first two above rules. In other words, if 0, players will still hear hitsounds even if they hit someone that they can't see.
• sm_hitsounds_friendlyfire (1/0, def. 0) If 1, you'll also hear a hitsound if you damage a teammate. Has no effect if mp_friendlyfire is 0.

Can probably work in CS:S too, but the hitsound will need to be changed, as the sound this plugin uses is not in CS:S. If you think you know of a suitable hitsound in CS:S (preferably a ding) let me know and I'll add it in.

One more thing: the plugin does not advertise itself at all--you should add a message about /hitsound in your Advertisements or whateverplugin config, so that your players know about it.

Hi,

do you know if "playgamesound" command apply only to GCF'ed audio files ? It's an interesting discovery D:

Also, I don't see anything not following the standard. Approved.

On a side note, you could change the following :

• When using GetVectorDistance, put 3rd arg to true; but the don't forget to compare it to a squared value. (Sin/Cos/SQRoot are heavy math functions; as they are recursive; when using GetVectorDistance a SQRoot is done at the end; which can be avoided with that 3rd arg.; Similar to calculating a 3rd side of a square-triangle; 3^2 + 4^2 ==> SQRoot(25)).
• You could remove FCVAR_REPLICATED as it can give error in the client console.

Thanks!

I've not tried it yet with custom sounds (mostly due to the fact that Valve has, for some reason, decided to screw over most custom content for CS:GO) but I'd take the Wiki's word for it that you can only use "play" with custom sounds, unless you want to mess with the stringtables.

Hm, I never thought it was that expensive, especially since in most cases there should only be one or two active smoke screens at most in the whole map...but I guess changing it to squared couldn't hurt.

I'll make a mental note to stop doing that in all of my plugins

Is there anyway to have the hit sounds enabled by default for all players when they join the server?

Also I know this is difficult but is it possible to add a visual hit marker (like in cod) where when you hit the target their is an "x" on your crosshair? Perhaps using sprites or overlays?

That would really make this plugin something special.

If you're up to recompiling, you'd need to modify two lines:

PHP Code:

new bool:HitsoundsEnabled[MAXPLAYERS + 1]; // Replace with   new bool:HitsoundsEnabled[MAXPLAYERS + 1] = {true, ...};

public OnClientConnected(client) HitsoundsEnabled[client] = false; // Change to true 


I'll whip up a built-in cvar for it in the next update, though.

Hi

Can you add a cvar that replaces the stock ring sound with a custom .wav sound and have that sound added to the download table?

This cod hit marker sound: http://www.mediafire.com/?gtizzgyywqw

[MasterOfTheXP]

Hm, I'd imagine that sound would be a little hard to hear amidst gunfire...nevertheless, I can make a cvar for that as well, in the next release sometime soon. ™.

The default sound will remain the same, though, to keep the plugin (at least in "default" mode) download-free.

cs:go not working

i try mp3 file too, but (he only download and not playing)

[MasterOfTheXP]

Still works for me on CS:GO. Sorry I took so long to get back to you on that...

Could be a precaching issue (somehow, even though it uses playgamesound...) or an issue with the traces/grenade tracking code...try setting sm_hitsounds_rules to 0, perhaps?

Oh, and be sure you have hitsounds, er, on. I usually forget to enable 'em for a round or two.

[m22b]

Ok this work .
maybe you add custom sound like Quake3 hit sound ?
