Basically what i need is to get the client index associated with a survivor_death_model, I discovered that m_nCharacter netprop does get a client index, however the client index was always of another client. Basically what i'm trying to do is get the player name that pops up when u defib a character, I need to read that from the survivor_death_model, if its attached to that. I'm hoping the name doesn't come from the defib itself. Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.

Like the witch, the survivor_death_model works with character indexes instead of client indexes.
If you have more than 4 survivors you need a fix for that. Because some character indexes collide with each other.

Anyways, here:

PHP Code:


int GetSurvivorFromDeathModel(iEntity)
{
    char sClassname[21];
    GetEntityClassname(iEntity, sClassname, sizeof(sClassname));
    if(!StrEqual(sClassname, "survivor_death_model"))
        ThrowError("Not survivor_death_model");
    
    int iTargetChar = GetEntProp(iEntity, Prop_Send, "m_nCharacterType");
    
    for(int i = 1; i <= MaxClients; i++) {
        if(!IsClientInGame(i) || GetClientTeam(i) != 2)
            continue;
            
        if(iTargetChar == GetEntProp(i, Prop_Send, "m_survivorCharacter"))
            return i;
    }
    
    return 0;
}

There is also an alternative way of doing this and it's from DeathChaos' Restore Survivor Death Animations plugin. I wonder if death models have m_hOwnerEntity netprops.

m_nCharacterType is the only correct way to get the client from the death_model. You cant do that with the DeathChaos method.

on survivor_death_models that netprop always comes back -1 unless manually set, which was inefficient for what i needed. Timo's method is working perfectly, comes back correct every time even if a player leaves and a new player joins and takes over that bot.
