Hello

I would like to make a player miss the opponent in x% of the times. This means when a player misses an opponent there should:
1) Not be inflicted any damage
2) Not be any slowdown
3) Not be displayed blood decals.

I've solved first and second by hooking Ham_TakeDamage and setting victims speed on hit. I'm unsure how to deal with the 3). I've tryed different solutions but noone worked, so solutions are welcome

The problem is: How do i block blood decals from appering when a player hits an opponent.

Thanks in advance.

Can't you set him godmode?

The problem is, it's only on some shots there should be no blood/damage. Setting godmode would be the same as setting hitzones to 0, but that would apply for everyone hitting that player, and not only the player who misses (even if it cancelled out very fast).

I need to hook an event, which is called JUST before the player is hit, so I can override it, OR make sure, even if the player is hit, that no blood is displayed.

I've played around with Ham_DamageDecal, but it doesn't seem to have any effect.

Just hook Ham_TraceAttack event and handle the trace...so if has chance to miss modify the trace set_tr2(...)

This will prevent you to hook Ham_TakeDamage as well ;)

Ye, but just for what he said should be enough...

Thanks, that works very well. I'm not sure if the method I manipulate set_tr2 is the best, but atleast it works ;)

Code for people trying to achieve the same

public plugin_init() 
{
	RegisterHam(Ham_TraceAttack, "player","Ham_TraceAttack_F")	
}

public Ham_TraceAttack_F(this, idattacker, Float:damage, Float:direction[3], traceresult, damagebits)
{
	set_tr2(traceresult,TR_vecEndPos,{0.0, 0.0, 0.0})
	ExecuteHam(Ham_TraceAttack, this, idattacker, damage, direction, traceresult, damagebits);
	return HAM_SUPERCEDE
}

[Alka]

yes is good, you can also make set_tr2(traceresult, TR_flFraction, 1.0);

is there reason why you don't supercede the entire thing?

is there a way to block only one player from bleeding with code above?
