OK, yes I know there is no one here who plays TFC however I am still going to ask

My problem is this:

1. TFC has this habit of enduring all noobs who come from other mods, especially the CS community to instantly take a sniper class on joining the server. This in itself is not the problem. These sniper noobs, then spend the rest of the map sniping each other, by that I mean having their very own little sniper war. Which means they forget the concept of the game which is to Capture the flag.

Solution to this is simple: Make it impossible for a sniper to kill a sniper!!


So my request is for a plugin for TFC which will make snipers immune to damage from enemy sniper fire [Sniper Rifle only], other weapons such as the AR or grenade etc must still be capable of killing each.

I have no idea if this concept is even possible? I suspect is is but I have no clue as to how it could be made? Anyhoo, over to you script whizz's

Bump already

[ancient1]

Can anyone even just tell me if its possible please?

It might be possible, I'm not sure. Sound like it could be, but I could be wrong

Don't see why it wouldn't be possible. Register a damage event (gotta check if its possible with tfc), compare the weapons both the victim and the attacker have and if their both snipers nullify the damage.

Or

You can just prohibit the use of snipers. Just use prethink when they're in attack, then check what class they have and if its a sniper just cancel the action, should keep them from using the snipers unless they're stupid.

tfc_getwpnname ( weapon, name[], len ) &
TFC_WPN_SNIPERRIFLE

Should make this all possible.

Anyone fancy this challenge?

Hey if you can wait 2 or 3 weeks then I'll get on it

[ancient1]

That would be most gracious of you, thankyou

PS I can wait as long as it takes, cause I cant do it myself

#include <amxmodx>
#include <engine>

public plugin_init() {
    register_plugin("Stop Sniping Attack","1.0","Votorx/Pherexia")
}

public client_PreThink(id){ 
    if(entity_get_int(id, EV_INT_button) & IN_ATTACK){
        if(user_has_weapon(id,TFC_WPN_SNIPERRIFLE)){
            client_print(id, print_chat,"Snipers aren't allowed to attack on this server")
            return PLUGIN_HANDLED
        }
    }
    return PLUGIN_CONTINUE 
}

Eh you can try that, I don't have a TFC server on my comp so no way to test if it works or not.

Just a quick look at your code before I compile it etc, won't this plugin simply stop a sniper from firing the weapon? no matter what?
