[TF2 (or maybe anything else)] How to effectively kill player

Naleksuh · **Author**

Hi, I'm currently writing a SourceMod plugin for Team Fortress 2 based around a custom game mode, and I need a way to kill a player. Currently I've been using

Code:

SlapPlayer(client, 10000);

however that has several problems and side effects such as the slap noise and sometimes not even working (leaves the player at one health). There isn't any

Code:

SlayPlayer()

and Google has not been of any help. Anyone know how to accomplish this? Sorry if it's been super obvious, I am new to SourceMod.

Code:

SDKHooks_TakeDamage(int entity, int inflictor, int attacker, float damage, int damageType, int weapon, const float damageForce[3], const float damagePosition[3])

Besides sending the kill command to the player, this is probably your best bet.

Looks messy and intimidating to me

. Would it be easier to just "send kill command to player"? And is there any known way to bypass that? If not, what needs to be changed to use your way?

You just need to fillout the 4 first arguments. The others are optional. Also check the API if you need more info about what each parameter does.

Code:

SDKHooks_TakeDamage(client, 0, 0, 99999.0);

Code:

FakeClientCommand(client, "kill");
FakeClientCommand(client, "explode");

I usually use the sdkhooks method so OnTakeDamage is fired.

OnTakeDamage doesn't matter to me (not offense), what I'd like to find out is: Is there any way to bypass the FakeClientCommand? Like, cheaters with hacked clients? Or is it fully server side and can't be bypassed? Because if it can not be bypassed, I'd like to use that

Also, xerox, it does not matter to me *how* the client dies, just that they do.

None taken, just opens up less avenues while coding later. FakeClientCommand as-is doesn't open up anything bad.

If you peek inside SourceMod base plugins, sm_slay

I tried both of these, they did not work. I have sdkhooks included...any other reason they might be failing?
