Is there a preferred way to detect when a player uses a throwable (molly, pipe, bile)? I'm wanting to count how many of each have been used (total, not per-player).

I was originally thinking on map start i'd count them then subtract the current difference, but that's spammy since it'll be happening every 3 seconds and display on a spectator info-panel. Plus it'll be for survival so some maps have those survivor zombies that drop supplies including throwables, so that method wouldn't work.

You can check for the _projectile in the classname in OnEntityCreated and the count how many of which type were used. pipe_bomb_projectile, molotov_projectile and vomitjar_projectile.

Depends if you need to know the second it's thrown. weapon_fire event.

Or read the Prop_Data values:

Member: m_checkpointMolotovsUsed (offset 14660) (type integer) (bits 32) () Member: m_missionMolotovsUsed (offset 14664) (type integer) (bits 32) () Member: m_checkpointPipebombsUsed (offset 14668) (type integer) (bits 32) () Member: m_missionPipebombsUsed (offset 14672) (type integer) (bits 32) () Member: m_checkpointBoomerBilesUsed (offset 14676) (type integer) (bits 32) () Member: m_missionBoomerBilesUsed (offset 14680) (type integer) (bits 32) ()

No, these offsets refer to Prop_Send

Oops that's what I meant.

The problem with this method is that thats are cleared by any plugin using SM Respawn by Atomic. Unless the more advanced one I helped put together which saves and restores player stats actually works and is public, I've no idea.

onentitycreated hook the projectile.... sdkhook spawnpost then u can access the entprops...i believe m_hthrower is the client that threw it. either that get the ownerentity entprop. I do this in my backpack plugin to get when they're thrown and who threw them.

Works but the only problem is that for some reason, propane tank explosions are incrementing the pipe bomb count. I'm wondering if there could be any other false positive detections

PHP Code:

int g_iMollies;
int g_iPipes;
int g_iBiles;

// throwables
public void OnEntityCreated(int entity, const char[] classname)
{
    if(StrEqual(classname, "molotov_projectile"))
    {
        SDKHook(entity, SDKHook_SpawnPost, IncrementMolly);
    }
    else if (StrEqual(classname, "pipe_bomb_projectile"))
    {
        SDKHook(entity, SDKHook_SpawnPost, IncrementPipeBomb);
    }
    else if (StrEqual(classname, "vomitjar_projectile"))
    {
        SDKHook(entity, SDKHook_SpawnPost, IncrementBileCount);
    }
    
    else return;
}

public void IncrementMolly(int entity)
{
    SDKUnhook(entity, SDKHook_SpawnPost, IncrementMolly);
    g_iMollies++;
}
public void IncrementPipeBomb(int entity)
{
    SDKUnhook(entity, SDKHook_SpawnPost, IncrementPipeBomb);
    g_iPipes++;
}
public void IncrementBileCount(int entity)
{
    SDKUnhook(entity, SDKHook_SpawnPost, IncrementBileCount);
    g_iBiles++;
}

get the m_hthrower entprop like i said and increment there �� propane tanks i believe wont have a thrower...

[dustinandband]

tried including some additional checks that this guy also used but can't find a way to differentiate between an actual pipe and propane tank.
(his code snippet, "only proceed if it's really a pipe" https://github.com/Tabbernaut/L4D2-R...andom.sp#L3509 )

tests wern't useful
pipe bomb:
thrower value: 1 | IsValidEntity value: 1
Classname value: pipe_bomb_projectile

propane tank:
thrower value: 1 | IsValidEntity value: 1
Classname value: pipe_bomb_projectile

I don't see m_hthrower in your backpack plugin.

However hooking onto the weapon_fire event (which I see you did originally but commented it out) works just fine for me.

Thx nice workaround.

PHP Code:

public void OnPluginStart()
{
    HookEvent("weapon_fire", eWeaponFire);
}

public void eWeaponFire(Handle event, const char[] name, bool dontBroadcast)
{
    char item[10];
    GetEventString(event, "weapon", item, sizeof(item));

    if(item[0] != 'm' && item[0] != 'p' && item[0] != 'v')
        return;

    switch(item[0])
    {
        case 'm':
        {
            if(StrEqual(item, "molotov"))
                g_iMollies++;
        }

        case 'p':
        {
            if(StrEqual(item, "pipe_bomb"))
                g_iPipes++;
        }

        case 'v':
        {
            if(StrEqual(item, "vomitjar"))
                g_iBiles++;
        }
    }
}

Theres no need for

PHP Code:

    if(item[0] != 'm' && item[0] != 'p' && item[0] != 'v')
        return; 


since you have the switch below doing the same basically.
