Hi,

I need to catch a moment of explosion and get molotov entity coordinates.

This code work for "pipe_bomb_projectile", but doesn't trigger for "weapon_molotov" (only "other" touch raise in some cases).

PHP Code:

#include <sourcemod>
#include <sdktools>
#include <sdkhooks>

public void OnEntityCreated(int entity, const char[] classname)
{
        PrintToChatAll("Entity created: %s", classname);
    
        if(StrEqual(classname, "weapon_molotov"))
        //if(StrEqual(classname, "pipe_bomb_projectile"))
        {
            SDKHook(entity, SDKHook_StartTouch, OnTouch);
        }
}

public void OnTouch(int entity, int other)
{
    if (!other)
    {
        PrintToChatAll("touched");
    }
    else {
        PrintToChatAll("Other touch");
    }
    SDKUnhook(entity, SDKHook_StartTouch, OnTouch);
} 


btw, what is mean "other" parameter?

Possibly, I could use HookSingleEntityOutput, but I can't see in valve dev. any docs about the list of output names. Any help?

Also, maybe, I could use OnEntityDestroyed, but I need somehow check the reason why molotov is destroyed to ensure it is happen due to explosion.

It is also, an "inferno" entity created after explosion, so as a final walkaround I could use its origin. However, it is required that I check inferno spawned due to molotov explosion.

Thanks.

Ahh, found the mistake.

I should hook "molotov_projectile" entity.

lol

[Dragokas]

ok, SDKHook_StartTouch is not reliable here. It doesn't trigger when molotov hits the car.

As I tested before, when molotov activates, entity with classname "inferno" is created.

[Dragokas]

Yes, I mentioned it above.
Question is: if we take this option as hook, how to identify "inferno" created due to molotov explosion rather than another reason.

public void OnEntityCreated(int entity, const char[] classname)
{
		if(StrEqual(classname, "inferno"))
		{
			PrintToChatAll("Inferno created");
		
			int hOwner = GetEntPropEnt(entity, Prop_Data, "m_hOwnerEntity");
			int hEffect = GetEntPropEnt(entity, Prop_Data, "m_hEffectEntity");
			int iParent = GetEntProp(entity, Prop_Data, "m_iParentAttachment");
			
			PrintToChatAll("Inferno owner is: %i, effect: %i, parent: %i", hOwner, hEffect, iParent);

Inferno owner is: -1, effect: -1, parent: 0

You can use a sound hook.

PHP Code:

public Action:HandheldSoundHook(iClients[64], &iNumClients, String:sSampleFile[PLATFORM_MAX_PATH], &iEntity, &iChannel, &Float:fVolume, &fLevel, &iPitch, &iFlags)
{    
    if(iEntity < 0 || iEntity > 2048 || !IsValidEntity(iEntity)
        return Plugin_Continue;

    static String:sClassname[32];
    GetEntityClassname(iEntity, sClassname, sizeof(sClassname));
    if(!StrEqual(sClassname, "molotov_projectile"))
        return Plugin_Continue;

    if(StrContains(sSampleFile, "molotov_detonate_3.wav", false))
    {
        //code 
    }
} 


update:
Changed it to use break sound

Try inferno_startburn event. More details: https://wiki.alliedmods.net/Counter-...erno_startburn

OnEntityCreated is too early to get those properties, try requestframe or 2

Whenever hooking EntityCreated you should then call to hook OnSpawn if you need to wait for the netprops to be set.

Waiting for a few frames generally works, while in some instances a server may wait longer than x frames to call the Spawn method.

Lux, thank you, interesting solution.

quasemago, thanks, unfortunately, no "inferno_startburn" event for my game.

Pelipoika, thanks, it's work.

Inferno owner is: 1 (player), effect: -1, parent: 0

However, no evidence about the molotov as a source of inferno.

So, I think I'll stop on Lux version, or I will track both entities and compare them through a global variable.
