This plugin is using the pre-alpha DHooks extension to hook Weapon_ShootPosition. It is required for runtime and compilation.

Weapon_ShootPosition get's called everytime a player fires a shot (and has ammo for it etc).
Since TF2 is missing a proper way to detect firing with TF2_CalcIsCritical requiring tf_weapon_criticals to be 1 and +ATTACK hooks fire even if the player has no weapons and therefore require lots of validity checks, hooking ShootPosition is probably one of the easier ways.

This plugin simply provides a forward whenever a client shoots a weapon.

Example Code:

PHP Code:

#include <sourcemod>
#include <tweaponshootposition>

public OnClientWeaponShootPosition(client, Float:position[3]) {
    PrintToServer("%N is firing his weapon at %.2f %.2f %.2f", client, position[0], position[1], position[2]);
} 


Feel free to strip this plugin of it's forwarding stuff and use the code directly in your plugin if you're feeling more comfortable with it.

Could you describe, briefly, what this hook could be used for with new plugins? Seems interesting.

[Thrawn2]

• basically: do sth everytime a player fires a shot, uses his melee weapon etc.
• stats-tracking.
• hit-streaks (a la 5 headshots in a row without missing a shot)

stuff like that

this will fire on every frame when the knife is out, even when not attacking

This plugin greatly interests me for use in MGEMod, but having to run both SDKHooks and DHooks seems less than optimal. In addition, would using this mean that people would have to go out and install manual gamedata updates after patches?

Looks like I have to do some more testing and need to deal with a few exceptions here and there.

You could request that this hook will be added to SDKHooks.

Currently yes as i have no idea how that auto-gamedata-updating stuff works yet. Got to do some research first.

So that's why rapidfire knives don't miss. Cool.
