Because if I used the Model keyvalue, which I was using before, the hitbox of the shield2 is messed up, it uses the small one's hitbox

IDK, it works pretty well without being parented.

Figures. Welp, can't do anything about that then

Not... necessarily, but it'd probably require using DHooks or some other hooks extension to do the collision part.

eyes CTFMedigunShield::ShouldCollide(int, int) at Linux offset 17

The other part... didn't someone already mention SDKHooks's OnTakeDamage hook?

Edit: Oh wait, SDKHooks also has a ShouldCollide hook.

I have to look into that, I have never worked with with DHooks before

Not that I remember, good idea though! Will test that!

Yeah, ignore that... SDKHooks also has a ShouldCollide hook.

Edit: Oh wait, SDKHooks ShouldCollide doesn't tell you what the other entity is... which is just silly. Most entities provide you with both two entity indexes as the two arguments.

Edit 2: CollisionHook should also work.

Don't even try to make the shield impassable. It's either impossible or fraught with problems. Instead, just apply TFCond_Slowed (or manually adjust speed) whenever an enemy touches the shield

But if I do that, the target could not move as long as the shield is being touched, meaning he can't move away either, right?

Now MedicShield also uses PermissionsSM if you wish to use it. And you should.

Welp, I've gotta update the donator medic shield functions on my server, but if I'm to use this I'm gonna have to rip out all the Permissions SM stuff because I don't use that.
