Detecting when hitting a shield

Warthog · **Author**

After playing around with VEN's code for http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=49395 , I discovered that there is a hitgroup not covered in the #define's in amxconst.inc

If you hit a shield, get_tr2(ptr, TR_iHitgroup) returns hitgroup 8, so maybe this could be added to amxconst.inc as #define HIT_SHIELD 8

get_user_attacker() will never return this value, because if you hit a person with a shield then obviously no damage occurs and no Damage event takes place.

I have absolutely no clue when someone would ever need to detect when someone hits a shield

, but for future reference it is hitgroup 8.

Nice work! This could lead to a few clever plugins.
