Yeah, thanks valve. I was wondering when someone might do a fix.

Cool -- Any plans to add support for other projectiles affected by this bug?

[retsam]

Any others would be far more difficult to pull off. Rockets, youd have to have enough space to fire it before it hit the target. What others would there be than rockets and nades?

But all youd have to do is just duplicate the function he did for grenades and check for soldier and add tf2_projectile_rocket. (i think thats it)

I made a version that blocks rockets as well.
On our server we have had a few cases of this as well.

I was developing mine at the same time but bl4nk beat me too it.

Somehow, I think the problem other people had will apply to your plugin, bl4nk. Namely, pipe bombs don't set owner, they set thrower.

The plugin listed here: http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=104143 and ubercow's in this thread appear to solve that particular issue.

[retsam]

Yeah hes right. bl4nk it no worky. Also didnt know there was another plugin already done 10 days ago that fixed the same issue.

Also, ubercow: your plugin definitely has some issues. Did you try to compile it? It has many compile errors....

[bl4nk]

Updated to Version 1.0.1

[BrutalGoerge]

ah this is much more logical.

i heard about this and just made a thing that banned anyone who deals damage while on a team < 2

it doesn't seem like a well known problem yet, i haven't seen it happen

thanks for releasing this

[retsam]

Bl4nk, I think youre gonna need this:

stock FindEntityByClassname2(startEnt, const String:classname[])
{
    /* If startEnt isn't valid shifting it back to the nearest valid one */
    while (startEnt > -1 && !IsValidEntity(startEnt)) startEnt--;
    return FindEntityByClassname(startEnt, classname);
}

or else it only removes the first projectile... I was just testing it.

And not that you need to, but I have edited my own version already and added public chat msg as well as to server console and logs, the players name and steamid who is attempting it. I suppose thats not really needed though.
