How to retrieve edict_t* from entvars_t

Bos93 · **Author**

PHP Code:


			
inline edict_t *EntvarToEdict(entvars_t *pev)
{
    if (pev==NULL)
    {
        return NULL;
    }
    
    return pev->pContainingEntity;
};

PHP Code:


			
#ifdef _WIN32
    int __fastcall TakeDamage_Pre(void *pevVictim, int i, entvars_t *pevInflictor, entvars_t *pevAttacker, float flDamage, int bitsDamage)
#elif __linux__
    int TakeDamage_Pre(void *pevVictim, entvars_t *pevInflictor, entvars_t *pevAttacker, float flDamage, int bitsDamage)
#endif
{
    edict_t * Attacker = EntvarToEdict( pevAttacker );

    UTIL_ColorChat( Attacker, "Called TakeDamage_Pre\n");

    return 1;
}

Param not a client

edict_t * Attacker = EntvarToEdict( pevAttacker ); // get edict_t * Attacker

UTIL_ColorChat( Attacker, "Called TakeDamage_Pre\n"); // void UTIL_ColorChat(edict_t *pEntity, const char *pMessage, ...)

result: server crash,why ? I incorrectly retrieved edict_t ?

why you add RETURN_META_VALUE(MRES_IGNORED,*0); ? Is TakeDamage_Pre a meta api ?

You know that pevAttacker can be an entity which is not a client, right ?

Show us UTIL_ColorChat ?

"RETURN_META_VALUE(MRES_IGNORED,*0);" is useless.

TakeDamage_Pre doesn't need to be done twice ( Windows & Linux Version ), mainly when you use some functions which are specific to Windows
