Is there anyway to make someone think they are taking damage while not actually hurting them?

Im using a point_hurt to deal increasing damage over time (eg: .25 dmg every .5 second), however if the damage is < 1 (or even 0), it still does 1 damage.

So if possible, I want to make the player think they are taking damage even though it hasn't reached 1 point yet. otherwise, they have no knowledge that they are being hurt until the damage kicks in (eg: 2 seconds later).

You can always add 1 HP, then take it away (Don't do it the other way around because you might kill a player with 1 HP).

i was hoping to avoid something like that because giving health at certain times is rather noticible (eg: when the color changes).

but that is where i was heading when i made this post. right now im just spamming the player with chat messages, but thats rather uneventful.

well this is odd:

PHP Code:

new damage = RoundToZero(g_fClientLastDamage[target]);
if (damage < 1) {
// give the player a health point before taking it away.
    new health = GetEntProp(target, Prop_Data, "m_iHealth");
    SetEntProp(target, Prop_Data, "m_iHealth", (health + 1));
} 


and the player still takes 1 point of damage.. set it to health +2 and he doesn't.
