Real-Time Damage Display 1.1


Description
This plugin will display the damage dealt as you attack, with a slide animation upward.
The slide animation is enabled by default but can be disabled.

This plugin is great for training to learn what kind of damage you deal as you play.


CVARs
realtimedamage_enabled [Default: 1] (1 - On, 0 - Off)

NEW CVARS
realtimedamage_default [Default: 1] (1 - On, 0 - Off)
realtimedamage_slide [Default: 1] (1 - On, 0 - Off --> realtimedamage_animate in v1.0)
realtimedamage_triggers (Default: "showdamage displaydamage")

realtimedamage_default cvar sets the default display mode for any new players to the server (provided realtimedamage_enabled is On).
This allows an admin to enable the plugin, but have it default to "Off" unless a player specifically turns it on for themself. (This is to accomodate the plug-in being enabled on a server but not be forced to display to those who might get annoyed by it)

realtimedamage_triggers cvar allows you to have custom say hooks for the plugin to be enabled/disabled by the players (for themselves only, of course). This is useful if you want to have shorter commands, or a multitude of commands that will enable/disable the Display for a user.
N.B. This CVAR only takes effect after you RELOAD the plugin (or restart server)
sm plugins reload # (where # is the plugin number from "sm plugins list")

example: realtimedamage_triggers "show damage"
If a player says any of

!show
/show
!damage
/damage

the display will be toggled on/off for that player

So kind've like scrolling combat text in world of warcraft?

[Wolfbane3PG]

I guess so? I'm not familiar with World of Warcraft, sorry.

Hope you enjoy this though!


This plugin has been tested pretty well, but please post here if you encounter any strange behaviour. Thanks alot!

Works really well for me and the server. I tried to break a cap on the damage that it can display but I have yet to find that. It works just fine with 298 million damage

The trouble is whenever you do large seperate amounts of damage in a short amount of time. It looks messy and stuttery.

Is there a way you can speed up the sliding or maybe make it so that

if you damage someone with 10 damage
then damage someone with 20 damage
10 damage wont show up after it again...

@MrSaturn
That should have been fixed in 1.1
Can you verify that you are using version 1.1 of the plugin?

Also, is this with slideup enabled?

hi, i just intalled your plugin, latest version, and when i hit fast, slide thing fast switch from new and to old damage, so i can't see how much i did hit... can you just make smt like:
40
20
50
instead of:
40 then 20 then 50 then again 40

Nice work.
1st:

switch (player)
	{
	case 0:{
		PrintToChat(client, "\x04*** [ON] Real-time Damage Display [ON] ***"); 
		g_displayEnabled[client] = 1;
	case 1:{
		PrintToChat(client, "\x04*** [OFF] Real-time Damage Display [OFF] ***");     
		g_displayEnabled[client] = 0;      
}                                         
	}

it's simple, just add {} to case =)

2nd: You need to rework slide effect. For example make 5 strings, with each tick dmg will move higher. When player hurt somebody, all dmg's strings move up by one and on lowest string will be shown latest dmg.

3nd: Add customizable colors.

4: Why u use g_maxConcurrentUsers? MaxClients rulz =)
