Hi,

I would appreciate it if someone could take a look at this.
I run a server with more than 4 players.
This plugins detect damage done to special infected using the method 'public Action OnTakeDamage' in line 270.
Sometimes the damage dealt to the special infected is incorrect.

Can someone take a look at correct/improve this?

Thanks

[Edit]
I have another plugin that modifies the damage dealt.

You could try hooking 'player_hurt' instead.

OnTakeDamage may return inaccurate results cause after that,
It applied some game formulas or other plugins behaviours.

e.g: if you have 2 plugins and one changes the damage dealt on "OnTakeDamage" there is no guarantee that your plugin that detects the damage will run after the other that changes the damage dealt.

May not be exactly what I said but is what I already noticed sometimes.

I see, I could try and see if it make any difference.
I want to see the actual damage done after other plugins behaviours.

Sometimes the damage done is credited to the wrong player or what I believed is that it credited the killing player with the most damage. Its quite strange.

Thanks for your feedback, really appreciate it Marttt.

Use the "SDKHook_OnTakeDamageAlive" hook, if not using already (haven't seen source)

This really helps a lot, I used what you suggested using event player hurt. It can detect damage done from plugins, which is great.
