PHP Code:

        // setup explosion
        SetEntPropEnt(entity, Prop_Data, "m_hLastAttacker", client); 


Makes sure the person dropping the balloon gets credit for any kills.

PHP Code:

        // send "kill" event to the event queue
        new String:addoutput[64];
        Format(addoutput, sizeof(addoutput), "OnUser1 !self:break::%f:1", GetConVarFloat(cvLife));
        SetVariantString(addoutput);
        AcceptEntityInput(entity, "AddOutput");
        AcceptEntityInput(entity, "FireUser1"); 


Adds the "break" input to the entity queue so the balloon will explode after XX seconds (determined by the cvLive convar handle).

PHP Code:

        GetConVarString(cvRadius, tmp, sizeof(tmp));
        DispatchKeyValue(entity, "ExplodeRadius", tmp);
        GetConVarString(cvDamage, tmp, sizeof(tmp));
        DispatchKeyValue(entity, "ExplodeDamage", tmp);
        Format(tmp, sizeof(tmp), "!self,Break,,0,-1");
        DispatchKeyValue(entity, "OnHealthChanged", tmp);
        Format(tmp, sizeof(tmp), "!self,Kill,,0,-1");
        DispatchKeyValue(entity, "OnBreak", tmp); 


Sets the radius and damage. Sets the OnHealthChanged input to break the entity (so it explodes when shot). Sets the OnBreak input to delete the entity when it breaks (explodes).

I try to add a PrintHintTextToAll("%s", "A Balloon just exploded") for the same time when this entity explodes but I am somehow not able to do so . I guess that we need to add another event queue?... much thanks for help

The code above sets the entity up so that the game engine handles the explosion of the balloon. No code in the plugin is running when it explodes. You could probably use a SM entity output hook to catch the OnBreak event and send a message, but there isn't any function already in the plugin that runs when it explodes.

Thanks a lot, you are right. I currently found a way how to run a function when an entity exploded. Just tested it:

PHP Code:

HookEntityOutput("prop_physics", "OnBreak", EntityOutput:OnEntityOutPut)

public OnEntityOutPut(blue_entity)
{
ServerCommand("sv_gravity 600")
} 


Great

Can we somehow disable that player can make the balloon explode by shooting on it?

Anyway thanks again.

I haven't tested it, but I believe that removing

PHP Code:

        Format(tmp, sizeof(tmp), "!self,Break,,0,-1");
        DispatchKeyValue(entity, "OnHealthChanged", tmp); 


would do the trick.

[BenSib]

It does.

Could we get an enable/disable cvar? Or maybe a way to make it certain admin flags only?

Nice Plugin. Thanks L.Duke

Any way to change the killer's name when killing somebody with the balloon? I wanna give a name to the balloon for eg "Balloon killed XY" in place of my name. Is it possible? Thanks for any directions!

Can you get it to work for CSS? I have extracted the pink dog balloon and recompiled it so it can work for any mod, I have also added a file download for the plugin but i cant get it to work for CSS, something in console says cant load due to cant get prop entity...or something like that. also if someone wants it compiled to remove the blood splat on launch let me know.

here is what I got so far.. balloon model and my plugin work.

can anyone help?
