Version History

• 1.25 [July 4, 2006]
  • Added: amx_vk_version cvar for more easily finding a server with this plugin
  • Death messages are now also done via emessage_begin which now allows team kill plugins, such as ATAC, to detect vehicle kills. This should allow things such as forgiving the team kill.
  • No longer relies on the Engine module
• 1.22 [Apr. 26, 2006]
  • Added: amx_vk_tkpunish cvar that when set to 1 will instantly kill a player after they kill a teammate
  • Fixed: No death message appeared when there was a suicide involving a vehicle (somehow the bug returned or wasn't fixed properly the first time)
• 1.21 [Apr. 23, 2006]
  • Fixed: As a side effect of replacing suicides with vehicle deaths in the HL logs, chat logging (as well as most logged information from CS/CZ) was blocked
• 1.20 [Apr. 21, 2006]
  • Minor optimizations to code
  • Now uses the pcvar natives for getting values of cvars
  • Fixed: Runtime errors involving invalid players
  • Fixed: When a true suicide involving a vehicle occurred no death message appeared at all
  • Fixed: Vehicle deaths were still being reported as suicides in standard HL logs
• 1.10 [Oct. 7, 2004]
  • Public release
  • Changed to no longer rely on fun module
  • Added: amx_vk_tkpenalty cvar for how many frags to subtract for team killing with a vehicle
• 1.00 [Oct. 4, 2004]
  • Initial version

Wow, I have always wanted this feature for cs_carzzzz map, it's no fun playing that map when you get no kills when running ppl over plus ppl worry about stats so much, they snipe on the top of the hill, now everyone can have fun with this map, including the statistics worrying ppl.

Great plugin, I use it now on my server 24/7 (We are a Nipper-only map server so this plugin fits in great)

it makes players cant buy round after.

I know it's been a while since this plugin has been updated but, can anyone fix this? It's flooding my server logs all over the place :?

I have just posted an update to this plugin that fixes various issues. See if the new version doesn't fix the problem you describe. (It should...)

hmmm im geting bad load

oh i think i know why im using amxx 1.60 lol

Problem with this plugin: When using it the logs refuse to log chat messages even with mp_logmessages 1. Not sure if it causes any other problems.

Thank you for reporting this bug. I made a mistake with the return value of the contain native. :oops: This is now fixed in 1.21.

Well it still reports the wrong names on occasion but other than that it's working great now :up:

Just a request: Could you possibly add a cvar that if a person runs over their teammate they instantly get slayed? (Not on by default but it would be great for some maps like crazytank)

I'd like to get this working as perfectly as possible, but do you know in what situations that it occasionally shows the wrong names? Perhaps it happening when there are lot of deaths by vehicle in a short amount of time? I'll try to look into this on my own though.

As for your request, I think that can certainly be arranged. Do you want this instant slaying to occur in addition to the death they may receive due to mp_tkpunish being set to 1 on the next round or do you want only the instant slay to occur and to block the slay on the next round? Or perhaps I could just set up some options for either one.

or maybe when u get run over by team m8 menu pops up and there is option slay him or forgive him coz sometimes u kill ur team m8 coz he just ducking/jumping in the car

Ok, I have added the "instant kill" option to kill TKers. Please let me know if you still see any incorrect name being displayed in the death message. I spent quite a bit of time trying to find a possible problem, but I have not found anything wrong with it (yet).

ones i killed some 1 with knife and it showed 2nd massage what i killed other player with the car but i didnt :S

Found one way that it seems to report wrong names:
One round I drove the tank, then the round reset, somebody else drove the tank next round and my name showed up when they ran someone over.
I haven't tested to see that this scenario leads to wrong names every time, but it's just something that happened recently.

Re: Vehicle Kills
 

I have released a new version (1.25) that no longer relies on the Engine module. Also, if you use a team kill related plugin such as ATAC, that plugin should now be able to take action thanks to a new feature in AMXX 1.75. So forgiving someone for a vehicle kill that was a team kill should now be possible. I'll leave the TK stuff to other plugins.

Re: Vehicle Kills
 

1st thank you Damaged Soul for keeping it up 2 date. Can you tell me please what part of code tells what death [img]http://img216.**************/img216/3010/death7if.jpg[/img] sprite to display? Was thinking to make custom one.
Thank You.

Re: Vehicle Kills
 

There really isn't any code that specifically sets what the sprite should be unfortunately. The death sprite changes depending on what weapon is set in the death message. I set it to "vehicle" and since there isn't a sprite for vehicles, it displays the generic death sprite. I'd love to be able to change it. But I'm not really sure if it is possible to do that without a client-side modification.

Re: Vehicle Kills
 

Well i gess have to stick with this one :( Thanks for reply.

Re: Vehicle Kills
 

woah just seen that "ATAC, to detect vehicle kills" lol nice

Re: Vehicle Kills
 

Just installed team attack v2.5.5.4 and it dosent detect team kills :(

Re: Vehicle Kills
 

Maybe some scripting problems samething is happening to me I will look at the code after I help a friend

Re: Vehicle Kills
 

ok cheers

Re: Vehicle Kills
 

I just took at a look at ATAC again and it appears to still be working fine for me as far as detecting team kills.

Attachment 11171

I'm guessing there is nothing in your logs that indicates a problem with ATAC?

Re: Vehicle Kills
 

is vehicle plugin loaded before or after atac plugin?

Re: Vehicle Kills
 

nvm i made it work now lol sorry for waste of u r time.

Re: Vehicle Kills
 

ha nice going with this plugin...lol....now its even more fun running ppl over.

Re: Vehicle Kills
 

Theres a bug, it's reporting that someone that is not actually driving the car infact is not even on the car killed another person, occasionly would be nice to see this fixed ty. I use it on my server and if anyone has a working version please email me it [email protected]

Re: Vehicle Kills
 

Am i right that this plugin does not count airstrike deaths, func_tankmortar deaths, etc (also i tested - it does not work too)? After reading the script i guessed that plugin starts to work after DeathMsg has come with weapon name equals to "vehicle". This is possible under CZ only. So, this plugin has nothing to do with airstrike, stationary guns etc & it was not planned to score those deaths, right?

Re: Vehicle Kills
 

This happens often:

If player1 (CT) team kills with vehicle player2 (CT) and at the same time if player3 (CT) kills player4 (T) with normal weapon or vehicle then it shows what player3(CT) team killed player2 (CT) or even sometimes it shows what dead/spectator player team killed player2 (CT) instead of showing real team killer...

Re: Vehicle Kills
 

it got some issue with hlstatsx
It logs one kill twice and because of it hlstatsx count this as 2 kills.
