Damage Displayer 2.0

A detailed damage displayer, which displays done and recieved damage around the cursor.

Colors are being displayed around the cursor accordingly:
yellow - friendly fire
red - damage taken - even if source is not aviable
blue - inflicted harm
green - self harm
white - objects, that caused damage( eg. bomb explosion or fire )
purple - unknown damage source
cyan - breakable objects( when attacked )
pink - hostage( when attacked )

Cvars:
- dd_teamdisplay <0|1> - toggle team checking. In all mods it is set to 1 as default, except
sven coop, where it is set to 0. Applied immediately when you change it.

Needed modules:
- AMXModX
- FakeMeta
- HamSandwich

Version history:
2.0 - added display of dealt damage - damage is displayed to breakable objects, hostages etc.
2.0b - combined the damage event with player prethink event, so damage is displayed,
even when not inflicted by damage event( eg. monstermod ),
removed need of cstrike module, and added a cvar "dd_teamdisplay" to toggle team checking
2.0a - restarted project with a new approach
hooked player prethink to check hp in every frame
1.4 - fixed team indication in cstrike
1.3 - removed team coloring to make plugin applyable to mods other then cs
turned back to switches to increase sourcecode's readability
1.22 - removed some variables to reduce resource usage
1.21 - added team specific colors( T = red, CT = blue, OTHER = magenta ) in both harm and damage
1.2 - turned switches into ?: statements and clearing out a few variables this way
1.11 - more optimalization and extracting datas, restructuring if cases, turning them to switches
1.1 - optimazed code, added friendly fire coloring in damage, plus damage HARM non players
1.0 - started project: indicating friendly fire(yellow), normal fire(blue) and damage(red)

Known bugs:
- In mods, where team is changed even while alive(eg. Zombie plague), then the team indication is
buggy(shows friendly fire on an enemy, who was your teammate on roundstart)
temporary fix : set dd_teamdisplay to 0

Future plans:
- Add cvars for positions, colors, and switches to toggle what to display
- Maybe a downfalling animation for the displayed numbers


Tested mods:
Counter strike 1.6
Sven Coop 4.07( metamod-p )

There's a certain point where using the conditional operator is going too far, and this is it:

color = victim_team == attacker_team ? COLOR_ATTACK_TEAMMATE : victim_team == 1 ? COLOR_ATTACK_T : victim_team == 2 ? COLOR_ATTACK_CT : COLOR_ATTACK_OTHER;

But it's fast, isn't it?

Edit:
Shall I go back to switches?

Ok people. Any ideas on how to display damage recieved from mods, like monster mod? I've tried HamSandwich:

PHP Code:

RegisterHam(Ham_TakeDamage,"player","ham_damage",0);

...

public ham_damage(victim, inflictor, attacker, Float:damage, damage_type){
    client_print(0,print_chat,"HamDamage | victim: %d, inflictor: %d, attacker: %d, damage: %f",victim,inflictor,attacker,damage);
    return HAM_IGNORED;
} 


But this did not show anything new.

I even tried getting the Damage message and hooking that without any success:

PHP Code:

msgid = get_user_msgid("Damage");

register_message(msgid,"damage_event"); 


Shall I hook PlayerPreThink to check hp in every frame?( But this way, I still cannot get the inflictor )

Plus I shall hook special entities' damage taking, such as: hostage_entity...

MonsterMod creates the monsters using 'func_wall' as classname. So just change 'player' to 'func_wall'.

[Lulu the hero]

But if I hook func_wall, then how will I know it is a monster mod monster and not an actual wall? Shall I filter it out by model name( eg. houndeye.mdl ) ?

And again, it will still not help me getting the damage received from non player objects( such as a houndeye from mm. ).

But thanks for the info, it gave me some ideas.

We will end in a display damage on a crate( breakable object ) ^^

Have searched for similar plugin for two days! Thanks!

Check wether MonsterMod sets the FL_MONSTER (hlsdk_const.inc) flag on it's entities. That would be a good way to distinguish walls from monsters. They might also have a certain movetype set.

Fixed the team displaying thing in cstrike, so now when you play zombie plague, the teams will be displayed correctly. ( comment a line out in the source if used in different mods )
