Hey guys, I'm having a bit of a problem with this plugin I've been working on.. I can't seem to emulate TF2 kills perfectly.

What I'm doing is hooking into SDKHook_OnTakeDamage, cancelling the damage by returning Plugin_Handled, and inside this hook calling SDKHooks_TakeDamage to damage the attacker instead.

The issue? SDKHooks_TakeDamage does not have a customkill parameter. Special flags like whether a backstab or headshot has occured can't be carried over to the attacker.
... and yet SDKHook_OnTakeDamage does have a customkill parameter.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Mark.

Some code examples:

SDKHook(clientID, SDKHook_OnTakeDamage, OnClientTakeDamage); // Here I would hook the damage method.


public Action:OnClientTakeDamage(victim, &attacker, &inflictor, &Float:damage, &damagetype, &weapon, Float:damageForce[3], Float:damagePosition[3], damagecustom)
{
        // No damagecustom in SDKHooks_TakeDamage, wtf?
        SDKHooks_TakeDamage(attacker, inflictor, victim, damage, damagetype, weapon, damageForce, damagePosition);
        return Plugin_Handled;
}

You can do it still a tricky way like setting damage to 512.0241294
And in OnTakeDamage if damage would have 0241294 part then do wanted action

Well, my problem isn't detecting whether a headshot or backstab took place. The issue is trying to call (through code) a headshot damage type to the attacker.

I essentially want the attacker to shoot the victim and blow the attacker's head off instead.
