Cool!

Re: HE Explosions Destroy Breakables
 

Good job.

Re: HE Explosions Destroy Breakables
 

Awesome.

Re: HE Explosions Destroy Breakables
 

Shouldn't you check if the breakable is meant to be broken ? For example, the crates on de_dust2 are breakable but they only break when C4 explodes due to a trigger, will your plugin break those ?

Still... doesn't HE already break stuff on explosion, like glass... ?

Re: HE Explosions Destroy Breakables
 

Dunno if it only breaks on touch or also when explode.
I think there should be a better way that Think to detect explosion.

Re: HE Explosions Destroy Breakables
 

To detect HE grenade explosion, there are not much ways :

Using Orpheu :

- Hooking CGrenade::Detonate3() or CGrenade::Explode3() : The most efficient/reliable method.

Without Orpheu :

- Checking exploding time with pev_dmgtime by hooking "grenade" think. Method is acceptable, though forward will be called until the grenade dies, not cool.
- Using grenade_throw forward, setting a set_task or next think of a dummy entity, to (pev_dmgtime - gametime) seconds. Not a good way, because we don't know if the grenade has really exploded.
- Hooking TE_EXPLOSION (There is 2 messages) with register_event (SVC_TEMPENTITY). "1=3" "6=25" "7=30" "8=0". Not a good way since you need the grenade entity index and it could be thrown for another purpose.
- Using grenade_throw forward, hooking FM_EmitSound, checking "weapons/debris1.wav" + "weapons/debris2.wav" + "weapons/debris3.wav" + checking the grenade is well a grenade and unregistering FM_EmitSound. Not bad.

Of course, I would use Orpheu. :mrgreen:
Without Orpheu, between, dmgtime and emitsound, I guess the latter would fairly good.

If you keep fm_cs_get_grenade_type, put the c4 check back ;), and don't bother with the 3 nades types, once the c4 check passed, only check for HE ;)

Re: HE Explosions Destroy Breakables
 

Normally the c4 check is not required since the offset is different.

Considering that and since m_usEvent is set when a grenade spawns only, it means that checking if it's a C4 before is not needed. Checking m_usEvent & 1 (or 1<<0) should be enough.

Oh nvm, I just tested on de_prodigy, HE grenade doesn't break the glass on explosion, it just makes the glass damage sound but it doesn't actually damage it, it seems... that's disappointing =)
