Excellent plugin! Perhaps a center display text would be a nice addition?

If you do that, could you please make it an option between hint text and that?

Because some plugins conflict with centertext, and some players might want to actually see the ff damage nice and clear. (Centertext is small and appears for a short while only)

I added a cvar to allow you to change it to hint text or center text instead of in chat.

I don't recommend it though, as if you do FF to multiple people it will only show the damage you did to one of them if you use anything other than chat.

Frus,

Add a IsClientInGame/IsClientConnected somewhere.

Whosat or anybody else having that issue, could you try the version attached to this post and tell me if you get any errors with it, thanks.

I suggest using this, kinda universal validation checking. And much easier to use.

PHP Code:

public IsValidClient (client)
{
    if (client == 0)
        return false;
    
    if (!IsClientConnected(client))
        return false;
    
    if (IsFakeClient(client))
        return false;
    
    if (!IsClientInGame(client))
        return false;
    if (!IsPlayerAlive(client))
        return false;
    return true;
}

Thanks for the code, If I'm still having issues with errors I'll try to work it in, but I don't think I should have a problem with it as is.

That !IsPlayerAlive doesn't fit the "isvalidclient" name of the command. You don't need to know if they're alive just to know if they're a valid client.

Gj otherwise.

I didnt even edit this, just pasted as it is from pillsaddiction, many plugins uses such checks to ease job, and player alive check i added in pillsaddiction for my needs.

I think checking if player is alive is important for FF damage display anyway. You wont deal any dmg to dead survivor (unless he becomes zombie ), will you? Though it's not that necessary.

Are you still working on this Frus ?

Use MaxClients instead of MaxPlayers in the for loop.
