whats the different of ExecuteHam and ExecuteHamB?

[Xellath]

They both execute the virtual function on the entity, but ExecuteHamB will trigger all the hooks that has been made on the virtual function.

Example:

Let say you have a takedamage hook in a plugin that just prints the damage output to everyone:

RegisterHam( Ham_TakeDamage, "player", "Forward_Ham_TakeDamage_Pre" );

public Forward_Ham_TakeDamage_Pre( Client, Inflictor, Attacker, Float:Damage, Damagebits )
{
    client_print( 0, print_chat, "[debug] damage: %.1f", Damage );
    // will print damage each time damage is taken
}

ExecuteHam( Ham_TakeDamage, client, inflictor, attacker, damage, damagebits );
// if I were to execute the above line it would just deal the exact damage that was assigned
// whereas this:
ExecuteHamB( Ham_TakeDamage, client, inflictor, attacker, damage, damagebits );
// would do the same thing, but will go through the hook as well - so you can actually reduce, increase or block the incoming damage 

Note that when using ExecuteHamB it's not just within your plugin that the damage can be mitigated or changed - it gets called in all loaded plugins (where the hook is active).

EDIT: Take a look at the .inc files located in your scripting/includes folder. Most of the functions have descriptions.
