I had a question which Beetlefart suggested I post here.

I recently made a map de_soccer1. It was basically just a diversion from my main map that took me 6-8 hours to play with a new set of objectives for a CS:S map. I intended it to be played like a regular CS:S map, either complete the objectives or kill the other team, but I have a lot of people asking if there is a way to stop people from shooting each other so they have to score a goal to win the round. I'm no stranger to coding, although I've only done one basic server plugin for HL2. Before tackling this I thought I'd ask the experts. With the way the server plugin system is setup, can you check the health of a player when they are shot and prevent them from dieing? Maybe set their health to 1000 when they are shot but before the health is changed by the shot and then change it back to 100 after the shot has been recognized by the regular game code? Thanks for any help! L. Duke

the player_hurt event is what is triggered when someone is hurt .. the damage is already been done.. I would probably post on the sourcemod.net forums in the coding section vancelorgin might know how you can hook into it before the damage is done..

Thanks!

Although I may be wrong, (lance is right, 99.99% of the time, so wait until he replies) you just need to hook the func that changes the health of the player, and make sure the original func gets bypassed when you want it.

I don't have time at the moment to go tracing down for the original func (if it's even possible, most likely it is possible), but this may help you get in the right direction.

Hooking traceattack and blocking everything would work - in fact it's done for you by fysh in nemoD - nm_hitboxes or something - setting it to nothing should block everything
