[Morning]

I'm trying to make some var changes when players shoot teammates. I'm running another plugin which blocks damage (prevention of friendly fire). Is it safe to hook OnTakeDamage and use it in another plugin? I'm not trying to change/block damage in this second one, just want to set some global vars.

The reason i'm asking is because - witch damage to players is being blocked somehow, and sometimes the hook stops firing for specific clients after a while. I can't use l4d2 player_hurt event for what i'm trying to do, because it doesnt activate with my friendly protection plugin.

There could be some problem with the plugin some other way of course, but here is the way i'm using it, does it look safe? Thanks!

int MyVar[MAXPLAYERS+1];

public void OnClientPutInServer(int client)
{
	SDKHook(client, SDKHook_OnTakeDamage, OnTakePlayerDamage);
}

public Action OnTakePlayerDamage(int victim, int &attacker, int &inflictor, float &damage, int &damagetype)
{
	if(IsClientInGame(attacker) && IsClientInGame(victim) && attacker != victim)
	{
		if(!IsFakeClient(attacker) && !IsFakeClient(victim))
		{
			if(GetClientTeam(attacker) == 2 && GetClientTeam(victim) == 2)
			{
				MyVar[attacker] = 1;
			}
		}
	}
}

About the answer to your thread title, it's a yes. I believe I have mentioned it somewhere else that crashes will happen often if two different plug-ins handle the same entity but only if you modify one datum or some of the data of a function then returning Plugin_Changed in one plug-in and accidentally blocking that function from being called (in other words, returning Plugin_Handled) in the other.

Yes, it depends on the plugin load order. Those loaded later will overwrite plugins loaded earlier using the same hook, this also applies to all forwards provided by plugins/extensions.

Right, thanks that's useful to know for the future!

I'll try using SDKHook_OnTakeDamagePost.
