I'm trying to make Tanks only take damage from headshots in L4D, but it doesn't seem to work.

Here's what I have:

PHP Code:

public Action:Event_Player_Hurt(Handle:event, const String:name[], bool:dontBroadcast)
{
    new userid = GetEventInt(event, "userid");
    new client = GetClientOfUserId(userid);
    decl String:model[40];
    GetClientModel(client, model, 40);
    if (!strcmp(model, "models/infected/hulk.mdl", false))
    {
        new hitgroup = GetEventInt(event, "hitgroup");
        //Do 0 damage if 
        if (hitgroup != 1)
        {
            return Plugin_Handled;
        }
    }
    return Plugin_Continue;
} 


Any thoughts?

you'll probably want to look into using SDKHooks and the TraceAttack feature (at least I think it's functioning on L4D). Player Hurt fires after the player has been injured, so you can't stop damage that way if memory serves me correctly. The most you can do is heal back the damage that has been dealt. The better solution, however, is to use SDKHooks and OnPlayerDamage or TraceAttack, determine if it's a headshot, then block it if it's not.

In "SDKHook_OnTakeDamage" I believe the damagetype includes a flag for if it is a headshot or not. Just check that + if they player is the tank to determine if damage is allowed or not.

OnTakeDamage doesn't have the hitbox var, but TraceAttack does.
Damagetype flag is probably just that, damage type, as in DMG_CRUSH, etc...
