Wouldn't OnEntityCreated fire hundreds of thousands times during the game? Using OnTakeDamage it fires only when I need the info, and its much simpler as u dont have to track the entities, you just take entity for &inflictor, check if it has m_hOriginalLauncher and be done with it
Thanks for the offer, I don't want to bother u personally. If any troubles arise over the horizon I will post it on forum so the knowledge is spread to new generation like me :>

Hundreds of thousands of times no in fact I would think ontakedamage fires alot more than onentitycreated...I don't imagine most of the weapons in TF2 actually shoot projectile entities. That would be inefficient as all hell on their part. You can test it by hooking both and creating counters in each just to see. which fires more in a match. i'm betting its ontakedamage. Good Luck.

funny, I just noticed.

On OnTakeDamage callback, inflictor can return as weapon entity index or projectile entity index.

For example medic shoot tf_projectile_syringe, inflictor is tf_weapon_syringegun_medic
Demoman shoot tf_projectile_pipe and inflictor tf_projectile_pipe

good catch...i never really used inflictor from ontakedamage other than maybe getting the entity on a map that inflicts fire damage in l4d2. if ontakedamage works better for u, u could try ontakedamage post or alive hook, just a thought.

Yeah and it can return multiple other things as well. Its a hot mess. You even have tf_projectile_sentryrocket. And it doesnt really returns weapon entity, more like player when it comes to hitscan weapons.
