Hey,

To put it shortly: I've searched and tried a lot (tutorials, forums, other plugins) to make this plugin show entity's (in this case lasermine's) health when aiming at it. That's what I've tried to do:

set_task(1.0, showhp) - goes into public plugin_init ()

public showhp(id)
{
    new tgt,body;
        if(is_user_connected(id))
    get_user_aiming(id,tgt,body);
    if(!pev_valid(tgt)) return;
    
    new EntityName[32];
    pev(tgt, pev_classname, EntityName, 31);
    if(!equal(EntityName, ENT_CLASS_NAME)) return;
    
        new i_Ent = engfunc(EngFunc_CreateNamedEntity,g_EntMine);
        new iLMHP = pev(i_Ent, pev_health)
        client_print( id, print_chat, "%i", iLMHP);  

    return;
}

It does compile and loads without errors, but doesn't show any health when aimint at a lasermine.

Would appreciate any help.

    if( pev_valid( iEntity ) )

      HUDMESSAGE( iTaskIndex - 3389 /* Which means the client index */, "Health: %i", pev( iEntity, pev_health ) );

Thanks for the fast reply. So you've made a separate plugin. I've read the tutorial you gave a link for, but still couldn't get it, what should I put here:

engfunc( EngFunc_TraceLine, ... ); // see tutorial...

Do I just insert these parameters:

 static iEntity, Float: fClientOrigin[ 3 ], Float: fClientFrontEndOrigin[ 3 ], iTraceResult; 

?

I can't get the meaning of all the parameters of function - EngFunc_TraceLine

The original idea is THIS
Maybe its easier to do this thing without aiming, but just show lasermine health as a HUD message constantly?

lool just use FM_TraceLine...

register_forward( FM_TraceLine, "forward_TraceLine", 1 );


public forward_TraceLine( Float:v1[ 3 ], Float:v2[ 3 ], fNoMonsters, entToSkip, iTr )
{
    static iTr;
    iTr = get_tr2( iTr, TR_pHit );

    if( pev_valid( iTr ) )
    {
        static szClassname[ 32 ];
        pev( iTr, pev_classname, szClassname, charsmax( szClassname ) );

        if( equal( szClassname, "your entity classname here" ) )
        {
            static Float:flHealth;
            pev( iTr, pev_health, flHealth );
            
            client_print( entToSkip, print_center, "Entity health: %d", floatround( flHealth ) );
        }
    }
}

Sorry, but , What is TraceLine ( a little simple description )? when its called ? and when its better to use?

[tribadist]

Thanks tuty. I inserted this FM_Traceline forward into the plugin I mentioned in the first post. It compiled successfully, but now the server goes into an infinite loop of restarts. No logs, no errors. Did I get it right: you just register this forward and then input forward's body (public forward_traceline {...} ) into a random place in the code? or should I choose a specific place for it?

[tuty]

have you edit this line?

 if( equal( szClassname, "your entity classname here" ) )
        {

Sure. In the original .sma is says:

new const
    ENT_CLASS_NAME[]    = "lasermine",
    //ENT_CLASS_NAME2[]    = "info_target",
    ENT_CLASS_NAME3[]    = "func_breakable";

So, I put it this way: if( equal( szClassname, ENT_CLASS_NAME ) )

Any other ideas?

dude, using a task for such a think isnt a good idea :/

my code works fine if you use it wisely
