Again, just get m_hOwnerEntity, with the exception of the demo nade which would be m_hThrower. SuperLogs:TF2 has examples of all of this.

Thank you very much, psychonic! using the net prop hOwnerEntity really helps! thanks

calling GetEdictClassname on attacker caused the server to crash!! I didn't try inflictor, but they are the same value.

Did you check that it was a valid edict first?

[Thraka]

No, but if it isn't, what can I do with it?

[comp_noob]

hi this is what i did in my plugin and it works, dunno if it works for you...

PHP Code:

public Action:Hook_OnTakeDamage(victim, &attacker, &inflictor, &Float:damage, &damagetype)
{
    if (attacker <= 32)
    {
        if (GetClientTeam(attacker) == GetClientTeam(victim))
        {
            return Plugin_Handled;
        }
    }
    else if (attacker > 32)
    {
        decl owner;
        owner = GetEntPropEnt(attacker, Prop_Send, "m_hOwnerEntity");
        if (owner == -1)
        {
            return Plugin_Continue;
        }
        else
        {
            if (GetClientTeam(owner) == GetClientTeam(victim))
            {
                return Plugin_Handled;
            }
        }
    }
    return Plugin_Continue;
}

Never hardcode the max number of clients. Use the MaxClients define to get the server's current maxplayers value.

oh i'm sorry... i've always beem thinking what's the difference between MAXPLAYERS and MaxClients... does the l4dtoolz plugin change them or are they already defined by the game and not changable?

[HL-SDK]

Empires allows up to 64 -- it changes all of the time. The IBaseClientDLL interface allows you to query the maxplayers setting -- a range in which you can only find player entities.

You can not access this method directly, but psychonic pointed you towards the correct sourcemod command to use to retrieve the maximum clients.

I wouldn't use a compile-time constant (Even maxplayers) since the # of players can vary over a large range and some entities are created near the player/other border (in my experience it has been CGameResources instances)

[DJ Tsunami]

It depends on the context, in a for loop you need MAXPLAYERS because when the server isn't full, random client indexes aren't in use.
