I just installed TF2Items for the next leg of my mod, but I'm not sure how to use it. My goals are thus:

1. Alter weapon-switch times (177/178) when specific weapons are equipped
2. Block Medic healing (236) when a weapon's out
3. Check which weapon struck in a player_hurt event

Goals #1 and #2, I don't know how to tackle. When do I set these attributes? With the third goal, I simply do not know how to identify a weapon on the fly. Which function(s) do I use?

Any direction or examples are greatly appreciated. :)

#1 and #2 should be done in TF2Items_OnGiveNamedItem, which allows you to modify weapon attributes as the item is being given.

The Pyrovision plugin might be a good place to look how to do this, although it adds that attribute to all weapons... you can instead check the classname or item index in TF2Items_OnGiveNamedItem and add the attributes there.

I suggest you use SDKHooks and a take damage hook.
The player_hurt event passes very little in the way of useful data.

A quick question to both of you: how do I compile my plugin, with TF2Items and/or SDKHooks? The official(?) online compiler gives me errors when use it.

If you followed both of our suggestions, then you'll need both.

Unfortunately, the online compiler doesn't support the include files for TF2Items or SDKHooks.

I usually download the current version of SourceMod and copy the include files from the TF2Items and SDKHooks into addons/sourcemod/scripting/include and then use compile.exe to compile them.

(or use PawnStudio which can do the compile part for you)

Ah, that's gonna save time!

I got it up and running, thanks! If you're curious, I slowed the weapon-switch time of the Sharpened Volcano Fragment and blocked healing on the Third Degree~! Setting thread to Solved.

Now I've just got to convert my player_hurt function to an SDKHooks one. I should ask about that in the official SDKHooks thread, shouldn't I?

Out of curiosity, why do you want to know which weapon it was?

Anyway, if you have a weapon's entity index (either from player_hurt's weaponid or SDKHooks OnTakeDamage's weapon), you can use this to get its item definition index:

PHP Code:

new index = GetEntProp(weapon, Prop_Send, "m_iItemDefinitionIndex");

Oh yeah, I found that out in the Scripting forum. ;)

My goal with the weapon-ID is to do as such:

• Axtinguisher puts out burning enemies
• Back Scratcher causes bleed
• Sharpened Volcano Fragment has 5 seconds of afterburn

These are to balance the weapons around the buffs and nerfs I gave to afterburn in my mod, Sick Burn. I'll create a thread here for it when Version 2 (with these new bits) is working.

For Back Scratcher, just give it the bleed attribute (149).
As for afterburn, attribute 74 may work to reduce the afterburn time, but since no weapon in the game actually uses it...

Axtinguisher putting out allies would need a mod, though.
