How Do I tell if a player will explode at Player_Death

raven_coda · **Author**

I'm trying to tell if a TF2 player will explode or not at the player_death event.

I was trying the following but the ragdoll tends to exists if the player explodes or not.

Code:

new ragdoll = GetEntPropEnt(client, Prop_Send, "m_hRagdoll");
 if (ragdoll>0)
 {
  PrintToChatAll("Ragdoll exisits:%i", ragdoll);
 }

Is there another way I can tell?

Delay it a frame?

Code:

public Action:playerdeath(blahblah)
{
    CreateTimer(0.0, DidExplode, client);
}

public Action:DidExplode(Handle:timer, any:client)
{
    new ragdoll = GetEntPropEnt(client, Prop_Send, "m_hRagdoll");
    if (ragdoll > 0)
    {
        PrintToChatAll("Ragdoll exisits:%i", ragdoll);
    }
}

nah, I tried that. I put it off half a sec but ragdoll still exists.

Isn't explosion based on how much damage the player took?

Kigen, I looked it up and according to the wiki you gib if killed by an explosive. So maybe I can go about it that way. I'll look at the attackers weapon and if it's a rocket, Demo's grenade, Sticky bomb, or level 3 sentry.

The only problem with that is I don't know how to tell if the sentry was level 3. Any ideas?

You might be able to get the level of the sentry using the m_nDefaultUpgradeLevel datamap offset.

@bl4nk but how do I get the entity that is the sentry that killed the player?

Right now I get
GetClientOfUserId(GetEventInt(event, "userid"));
GetClientOfUserId(GetEventInt(event, "attacker"));

GetEventString(event, "weapon", weaponName, sizeof(weaponName));

Is it possible to find the sentry entity by knowing it's owner?

I'm starting to think I'm making this harder then it needs to be.

Look at the weapon name, and if they player is killed by the sentry, use something like this:

PHP Code:


			
new bool:found, entity;
while ((entity = FindEntityByClassname("obj_sentrygun")) != -1)
{
    if (GetEntDataEnt2(entity, FindSendPropInfo("CBaseObject", "m_hBuilder") == client)
    {
        found = true;
        break;
    }
}

if (found)
{
    // Sentry gun owned by 'client' was found
}

How do I check the m_nDefaultUpgradeLevel?

I tried

GetEntProp(entity, Prop_Send, "m_nDefaultUpgradeLevel");

but apparently that's not right as it gives me

"GetEntProp" reported Property m_nDefaultUpgradeLevel not found (entity 227/obj_sentrygun)

Am I just doing it wrong?
