The current mantreads ingame are too weak to do any real damage and isn't worth replacing the shotgun, is there a way to buff it without needing to install goomba stomp? maybe have it do x6 damage instead of x3

Perhaps hook OnTakeDamage on everyone via SDK Hooks, then if the weapon is Mantreads, override to 9,000 damage?

You can check if it's mantreads by checking the damagecustom param. It'll be equal to TF_CUSTOM_BOOTS_STOMP (from tf2_stocks) for ManTreads.

Or at least I think that works for non-lethal damage.

9,000 damage? O_O

wouldn't it be a little better to just hook the x3 damage and buff it to x6 damage based on fall damage?

the idea is keeping all it's mechanics the same, just buffing the damage a bit so it can be useful.

In that case, just use the TF2Items Item Manager to change the Mantreads damage attribute.

I don't think you can modify it that way.

The way the mantreads work is by calculating fall damage, and if you land a person, the game takes the calculated fall damage, multiplies it by 3, then applies that damage to the person you landed on instead of you.

my question is, is it possible to increase the multiplication value to 6 instead of 3 so that players that want to use the mantreads can actually do damage worthy damage.

Try this.

PHP Code:

#include <sdkhooks>

#define ITEM_MANTREADS    444

public OnClientPutInServer(client) {
    SDKHook(client, SDKHook_OnTakeDamage, OnTakeDamage);
}

public Action:OnTakeDamage(victim, &attacker, &inflictor, &Float:damage, &damagetype, &weapon, Float:damageForce[3], Float:damagePosition[3]) {
    if(IsValidEntity(weapon) && GetEntProp(weapon, Prop_Send, "m_iItemDefinitionIndex") == ITEM_MANTREADS) {
        damage *= 2.0;
        return Plugin_Changed;
    }
    return Plugin_Continue;
}

I tested it and it kept spamming me this call stack, also it kept doing over 500+ damage for the stomps but either way I think it's balanced by the fact that it kills in one stomp!

thx Mr. McKay!!
