So, I've modified death coil function from WC3 mod to suit my needs & I need one more thing: the thing in the title

This is the function's header:

PHP Code:

public dota_projectile( caster, target, speed, szModel[64], red, green, blue ) 


I want to change it into this:

PHP Code:

public dota_projectile( caster, target, speed, damage, stun, szModel[64], red, green, blue ) 


Since I want to do the stun & damage at impact I've registered a touch:

PHP Code:

register_touch( "DOTA_PROJ",   "player", "DOTA_PROJ_touch" ); 


How can I link damage & stun to the touch? Assuming that there are more than one call of the function.

I thought of two arrays of 32 cells each ( one for every player ) but it seems kinda rudimentary.
Since dota_projectile creates a different entity for each function call, can I find out which function created the entity that touched a player & use some its arguments?

Use pev fields on the entity to save the information you want. You'll probably want to use pev_iuser1, ..., pev_iuser4

In the touch function, retrieve the corresponding information from the entity.

Pseudocode:

// in entity create
set entity pev_iuser1 to caster
set entity pev_iuser2 to damage
set entity pev_iuser3 to stun

// in entity touch
caster = entity pev_iuser1
damage = entity pev_iuser2
stun = entity pev_iuser3

Great stuff, thank you Emp`.

Can I store floats in pev_iuser1-4 constants & are they the only unused constants in which I can store data?

[Arkshine]

For float, just use... pev_fuser*

[ehha]

PHP Code:

new Float:stun1 = pev( ent, pev_fuser1 );
new Float:stun2 = entity_get_float( ent, EV_FL_fuser1 ); 


Any idea why the 1st gives a tag mismatch?

[Arkshine]

float are passed by reference in pev() :

new Float:stun1;
pev( ent, pev_fuser1, stun1 );

[ehha]

Sadly, I've read that and tried this:
pev(ent, pev_fuser1, &stun1);
which failed. But now I understand why, & goes into the function header.

Thanks.

leave DotA alone, lol.

DotA is actually left alone, CS is the one who's infected with all kind of stuff from other games
