Hey, simple question, with HOPEFULLY a simple answer (though I have my doubts)

I want to grab the damage that's about to be done to a player, change it to half of what it was, and then apply it. I also want to replace the fleshy hit sound, but I doubt that's possible.

I thought it was something like OnPlayerHurt or something, but to be honest I haven't done any SourcePawn in ages so I'm not sure what to search for on the API Reference.

Any help is appreciated!

#2 player_hurt

Since that is a game event you'll need to hook it , here's a tutorial on how to do that

http://wiki.alliedmods.net/Events_(SourceMod_Scripting)

If that direct link does not work please check under Sourcemod scripting below for the Events tutorial.

http://wiki.alliedmods.net/Category:SourceMod_Scripting

also you will want to hook the event with the Pre flag like so:

PHP Code:

 
HookEvent("player_hurt", your_function_name_here, EventHookMode_Pre) 


Also there is a way to change sounds, although I'm not 100% on how it's done, but try looking under the sdk sound include for features that you could use.

Using events hooking you can only know that something has happened, but you can't make any changes to it.
When I need to block damage, I use Hacks Extension. I know, there is newer DukeHacks that can do the same thing plus many more, but I'm still fine with Hacks.
So you can block damage by hooking OnTakeDamage function and then do half of it to player in another way.

I've never used an extension a day in my life.

Well, I need DuckHacks to perform some other functions to my code ANYWAY, so I'll be fine taking the easy way out and using OnTakeDamage, thanks you two

That is, unless you know how to hide an entitiy for a specific player?

[Peoples Army]

You mean hide as in take away its model?

[NeoDement]

Yeah, everyone else can see it, but one player can't.

Or maybe one team, depending on how things go.

Well if you need an extension you can always use one, me personally I like a challenge so I don't like using hacks or any other things like that, but If it accomplishes your goal then by all means use a hack.

Is there a way to block damage without extensions? I'd like to know.

You can completely block damage to a player by giving them the FL_GODMODE flag. But as far as reducing damage, you need an extension to do it properly.
