Spitter toxic cloud when

Or Witch Cloud Damage with instant death. o0

I loved the plugin but I ask you a question. Could the hunter also explode leaving the toxic gas? ... I have changed the particles and I put them "weapon_pipebomb" and "tankwall_concrete" and it seems that it will explode and leave the toxic smoke. But in reality the gas only hurts. I would like it to explode so it hurts with the explosion and the gas as a residue. Greetings
Sorry for the English I use a translator.

If you want damage by explosion I suggest you take a look how the "boomer splash damage" plugin works.

You can take the damage part and adapt it for hunter.

What happens is that I do not know about sourcepawn, that is the problem I see the code and I understand something but not much since I do not have anyone to teach me at least to understand better :llorar:

[Diabolik001]

well I don't know about sourcepawn, but I see the code and I understand something by guessing. And here I made a modification, it makes the hunter make an explosion sound and the smoke is from the pipeboom. It does not give an error, but I would like if someone can add that it really explodes like "l4d_rock" that pushes and does damage controlled by CVARS Ex: explosive_damage 20, explosive_radius 150, explosive_pushforce 300 ... I hope the creator reads me, or if Someone can make this modification, I would appreciate it very much, I leave the modified one and inside it says where to add the code. Greetings.

Hi, a few suggestions:

In "PlayerDeath" it's probably faster to check "GetConVarBool(CloudEnabled)" before you get the players model and do string checks. StrContains is also inefficient, get the whole hunter model name and match that instead.

Again in "HookSound_Callback" using "StrContains" is very inefficient because this is triggered so often. It's better to use "strcmp" and match the whole sound filename.

You should be writing the clients UserID to the datapack, and retrieving and verifying that userid in the timer callback. See the [TUT] thread in my signature for more details on how to correctly use timers with client indexes and userids. Otherwise you run the risk of throwing errors if the client has disconnected, or affecting the wrong person if they disconnect and someone else connects taking their client index.

The "DeleteParticles" timer and callback is really bad practice. You again run the risk of deleting entities you did not intend. What you should do use pass the entity reference to the timer, or better still use this to delete entities after X seconds.

PHP Code:

void InputKill(int entity, float time)
{
    char temp[40];
    Format(temp, sizeof(temp), "OnUser4 !self:Kill::%f:-1", time);
    SetVariantString(temp);
    AcceptEntityInput(entity, "AddOutput");
    AcceptEntityInput(entity, "FireUser4");
} 


This code "attacker < MaxClients" should be "attacker <= MaxClients".

Doing "CheckGamemode" over and over on player_death is also inefficient. If the gamemode is not valid then do "UnhookEvent" and hook when it's allowed. See any of my plugins for a fool proof way to hook/unhook depending if the plugin/gamemode is enabled.



This was just a quick glance over. I haven't checked any of your other plugins but suggest you review them also and read the best practices and common mistakes in the [TUT] thread from my signature.
