I'm looking for a way to detect when a player with the Shortstop shoves someone, but I can't find any related events. I did try object_deflected but that didn't work. Does anyone have any ideas?

It fires a player_hurt event, maybe you can use that?

PHP Code:

Server event "player_hurt", Tick 154378:
- "userid" = "322"
- "health" = "124"
- "attacker" = "322"
- "damageamount" = "1"
- "custom" = "0"
- "showdisguisedcrit" = "0"
- "crit" = "0"
- "minicrit" = "0"
- "allseecrit" = "0"
- "weaponid" = "17"
- "bonuseffect" = "4" 


Dunno if any of these properties are unique to the shove tho

Edit:
Apart from the 1 Dmg

Edit Edit:
And it also applies the cond 115 (TFCond_KnockedIntoAir) to the shoved person (Used whenever a player is under the effects of Compression blast. Removed when the player touches the ground.)

Edit Edit Edit:
I also plays the weapons/push_impact.wav (Weapon_Hands.PushImpact) sound

You could catch it with OnTakeDamage or by looking for that push sound "Weapon_Hands.PushImpact" in a NormalSoundHook.

I don't remember bonuseffect being a thing. I assume that's new. 4 may be unique to the Shortstop.

Awesome, thanks! bonuseffect or the TFCondition should work.

EDIT: Did a quick Google search for bonuseffect. It looks like a value of 2 is the Demoman's double-donk and 4 is any other knockback-related effect like rocket jumps? Not too sure.

Ok Powerlord (I think it's you at least), you can blame me for causing the X-Y Problem here .

What I really wanted to do in the first place was modify the amount of knockback the Shortstop push causes (for x10). Unfortunately it only emits a player_hurt event and OnTakeDamage doesn't get called (where I'm pretty sure I could have scaled the damageForce vector).

Also, the attacker userid for the shove is the same as the client's...

Going to be that guy so I can put this question to rest. I had a similar issue back when I needed to detect the shove (for a custom achievement); I revisited it today after working on some other projects that had me thinking.

Use a hook on OnTakeDamage(Post|Alive|AlivePost). It does work (if not before, it does now):

public void OnTakeDamagePost(int victim, int attacker, int inflictor, float damage,
		int damagetype, int weapon, const float damageForce[3], const float damagePosition[3]) {
	if (attacker != victim) {
		// attacker is equal to victim on shortstop push events
		return;
	}

	if (!IsValidEntity(weapon) || !HasEntProp(weapon, Prop_Send, "m_iItemDefinitionIndex")) {
		// we don't have a weapon to work with
		return;
	}
	
	if (TF2_GetItemDefinitionIndex(weapon) != 220) {
		// not the shortstop (personal stock function, but you should be able to figure it out)
		return;
	}

	int owner = GetEntPropEnt(weapon, Prop_Send, "m_hOwnerEntity");
	LogMessage("%N bumped %N with shortstop", owner, victim);
}

A couple of other things that need tweaking:

• The player_hurt isn't fired in a way that the attacker can see. No damage numbers.
• Killing a player directly with an initial shove doesn't propagate the weapon through player_death (on a non-assist it acts like the player suicided). On multiple hits within a short timespan, it's treated as an assist.

Thanks for this!
