Best way to store damage done to an entity by each player?

BeasT · **Author**

I want to somehow temporary store the damage done by each player to an entity, and after the entity gets destroyed, pay out $ to the players by how much damage they have done. What would be the best way? Obviously creating an array like the one below is bad.

Code:

g_Damage[MAX_PLAYERS+1][MAX_ENTITIES+1]

Better say what are you tryng to do, not in the code, as a plugin.

Exactly what it says in the tin.

Store damage done by each player to an entity, and then when the entity is killed do something with each player damage.

I'm interested in this as well, I was planning doing an array like OP suggested but it doesn't seem optimal.

try csx module with client_damage or check hamsandwitch with Ham_TakeDamage i guess

I need to store the total damage done by a player till the entity dies, so how does that help me?..

I would create a cellarray (CreateArray(), make it 33 long) and store it in one of entity's pev_[i|f|e]user[1-4] entity variables.

Multiarray should be efficient and convenient to use. Yes, you have memory overhead, but it is not so much to worry about that.
There is only one problem with multiarray - zeroing when entity is removed, but you can hook this via FM_FreeEntPrivateData.
