How can I detect when a custom entity ( by custom I mean that I gave it non stock CS classname ) takes damage from a a player's weapon?
I've tried hooking Ham_TakeDamage which gives an error saying that the hook was not active. So instead I tried registering it after the entity was created, but the same error was given.
What other ways can I do this? ( Please note that the entity is SOLID_TRIGGER. )

Obviously for grenades I can hook the explosion and find in sphere but surely theres a better way that will cover all kinds of damage.

Thanks.

Next time I'd prefer not to be asked to try searching when I've already done so, tried other suggested methods and failed, and what you posted is completely different.

I just need to hook the damage on my entity, not a player, and not necessarily the damage amount. But thanks for trying anyway.

RegisterHam(Ham_TraceAttack, "entity_classname", "CallBack", 0) // 1 or 0 depends what you need
