let's say I have a damage event, and I wish for the person to take half damage always, if someone deals, say, 10 damage to them, and they have 8 life.

Now, my code is something like this:

		new damage = read_data(2) 
		if(is_user_alive(id)==1)
		{
			damage = floatround(float(get_user_health(id)) + (float(damage) * 0.5))
 			set_user_health(id, damage)
   		}

Now, by this code, the example above, the player would die, so I was wondering if I did this without the if statement as so:

			damage = floatround(float(get_user_health(id)) + (float(damage) * 0.5))
 			set_user_health(id, damage)

Wouldn't this cause problems where the player dies and then comes back to life again? There seems to be no way to reduce ALL damage by one half, only most damage except for lethal damage. Is this correct?

The only way I could think of doing this is if you where to...

1 - block damage to player
2 - retrieve the damage
3 - calculate half-damage
4 - apply damage.

And I'm pretty sure that once a player dies, he is dead and cannot come
back to life unless he was respawned or something.

Capture the damage event, block it and substitue your own
Use code like this, btw use [ small] [ /small]

new damage = read_data(2)
write_data(2,damage/2)

[kaddar]

Sounds pretty easy, basically:

Declare a damage event, then do this:

public damage_event(id)
{
new damage = read_data(2)
write_data(2,damage/2) 
return PLUGIN_CONTINUE
}

Thanks.

Yea, try that

[Ingram]

wouldn't it have to be PLUGIN_HANDLED, otherwise isn't he just telling it to continue with the damage?

I think it should have plugin_CONTINUE so that it keeps dividing the damage by 2 that is done.
