Hello.

I am trying to make a TF2 plugin which requires a hook capable of knowing the true inflictor or source of damage.

I need to check whether a player is doing damage with a specific weapon.

I have tried using the "player_hurt" event which almost works, the only problem is that this feature is for the Pyro, who can inflict damage after changing weapons.

For example, I need to check if the Pyro is hitting a player with a PowerJack, but when I use the "weaponid" EventInt provided by the event, it gives me the weapon ID of the player's currently equipped weapon. This means the player can ignite an enemy and switch to the PowerJack and the event hook thinks that the damage is being inflicted by the PowerJack, rather than the fire.

What can I do to fix this?

The information I need during this hook is:

- Attacker
- Victim
- Damage Source / Inflictor

Thank you!

I'm pretty sure SDKHooks OnTakeDamage hook would fix this for you. http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=106748

I just gave that a try but I am still having trouble.

The inflictor for lingering fire damage is the same as melee damage.

The inflictor edict classname is "player" for both the lingering fire and melee damages.

Look at the include file and try the new 2.0 forward prototype,

PHP Code:

(victim, &attacker, &inflictor, &Float:damage, &damagetype, &weapon, Float:damageForce[3], Float:damagePosition[3]), 


Try reading what weapon is and getting its classname.

Excellent! Thank you!

TF2 already gives the inflictor ent index on the player_hurt event. You don't need sdkhooks.

As noted many times now in the sdkhooks thread, inflictor varies. If it's a player, the weapon is the one currently being held by that player (for melee or bullet/shotgun weapons). Otherwise it will be a projectile (and the projectile's owner being the weapon, owned by a player) or a weapon (again, owned by a player).

It does? As which event property, attacker?

        "player_hurt"
        {
                "userid" "short"
                "health" "short"
                "attacker" "short"
                "damageamount" "short"
                "custom"        "short"
                "crit" "bool"
                "minicrit" "bool"
                "allseecrit" "bool"
                "weaponid" "short"
        }

It doesn't. I was mixing it up with player_death, which they did eventually add inflictor to (as inflictor_entindex).

Damage custom, followed by weapon id are the best way to determine weapon from the player_hurt event.
