Up until the 8/17 update, I have been creating projectiles with CreateEntityByName as flashbang_projectile, changing the skin to a knife/rocket, etc.

Recently, when doing so if the projectile hits an opposing team it immediately crashes the server. It can hit walls, team players, etc., but not enemy players.

Anyone suffering similar issues?

Edit. - let me also say I use to do it with hegrenade_projectile until a year or so ago, when that behavior also changed to the above and I swapped to flashbang_projectile. It currently behaves this way for flashbang, decoy, smokegrenade and hegrenade projectiles.

Hello.

"Recently, when doing so if the projectile hits an opposing team it immediately crashes the server."
Do you use SDKHooks_TakeDamage ?

[joshtrav]

No, the projectile itself has no health. Since its created as a flashbang_projectile I have been using :

SDKHook(entity, SDKHook_EndTouchPost, projectileTouch);

To determine when it makes contact with anything. Should add that I have recently tried using StartTouch and that also led to server crashing.

Another edit - I have removed the hook completely, to see if it had any relation. It does not, the server will still crash.

Hello everyone.

I also have been using entity flashbang_projectile as item drops on player event death, and it crashes the server when the enemy team is hit by/or touch the item. On some other map I tested I noticed this is not happening.

I tried removing entity touch hooks/set m_takedamage to none/set different m_CollisionGroup & m_usSolidFlags but still server crashes.

Just today I found a solution that works for me is to remove/comment the code with m_hThrower property. I leave only with m_hOwnerEntity property and server is fine. But I need to test it some more. Hope this helps.

Why not use a prop_dynamic_override?

The server plugin make use of m_flElasticity for setting item bounce properties. I tried to use prop_dynamic_override/prop_physics_override before but did not find bounce settings similar to projectiles.

Hopefully it is this.
I tried looking this crash in short time long time ago, it was so random.
Csgo crashed also when I used "mirror" damage on server, not sure but looks like teammates was using knifes to each other
