This may seem a little stupid, but after searching the HLSDK I have come to the conclusion that there is no "Touched_A_Hostage" event, only a log entry.

So, to find out when a hostage is touched, do I need to use XAD's method of hooking the logprint function and parse the results ?

I can do this, but it seems a little long winded and alot of string parseing on every log print.

If anyone has any better ideas i'd like to hear em

See my post in your other thread about hostage_stop_following. I'm starting to think the original IGameEventManager has no or indirect support for the mod-specific events and that's likely why the second version was created.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

maybe hostage_follows event

Bettle -> Its only called when they follow, not unfollow.

My idea for unfollow tho, seeing as im hooking EmitSound anyway, and parseing the sound for hostage sounds, I may as well add a strstr("hunuse") eh ?

Came to me last night =)

But on a strange side, even though I only Listen for 3 events, my FireEvent function is called on every event o.O Is that supposed to happen ?

Which event manager version are you using ?

IGameEventManger (captures all events)
IGameEventManager2 (captures events you specified)

IGameEventManager2

m_GameEventManager = (IGameEventManager2 *)((ismm->engineFactory())(INTERFACEVERSION_GAMEEVENTSMANAGER2, NULL));

And its hooking all Events
