Ive been meaning to inquire about this for a while and keep forgeting...

Since ive been seeing others posting about it, I figured id ask...

Does anyone know how you can get huntsman to crit? Or if that is even possible? I am not even sure huntsman by default ever even crits, except for headshots, so that may be why it never works in all-crits servers...

Just curious if its fixable.

As far as I know the Huntsman is not even designed to crit (aside from HS).
The function TF2_CalcIsAttackCritical determines whether an attack will be critical or not, but shooting with the Huntsman doesn't even trigger that function (I was just testing this earlier today is why I know that)

That being said, with a little creative coding you could probably make the arrows critted, but it could get tricky. There are some plugins that modify damage, so maybe just 3x the Huntsman damage and add the crit particle effect to it?

Almost more trouble than it's worth I'd think

[BrutalGoerge]

that sux. you can make the sniperrifle crit with CalcIsAttackCrit.

I'm pretty sure it's because the huntsman uses a different function when it fires than the other weapons. This would cause it to not fire the CalcIsAttackCritical forward.

Yeah it doesnt fire the calcisattackcritical.

Ive noticed while playing, huntsmen on a default server never crits, except when its a headshot.

I didnt think it was possible anyways, but wanted to ask.

But yeah, if I cared that much, I could just make arrows do like 3x damage and display the crits particle and sound on the victim, but thats probably too much effort.

We run a 100% crits server so....im trying to decide what to do to compensate huntsmen users. I may just try to find the most simplistic code to do 2x or 3x damage and probably not bother with the particle or sound.

A while back before anyone made a working 100% crits plugin I took this code out of the pyro++ plugin and made my own 100% crits plugin.
It multiplies the damage and sends particles and sound to both attacker and victim. You can even modify the angle of crits.

I couldn't find the source of the latest version I made. The latest one has cvars to enable crits for public or admin only but this should be enough for you to modify and use for the huntsman.

I have included the latest compiled version if anyone wants it. However if I were you I wouldn't take it because I could be some malicious hacker making up stories about not having source and giving you some horrible plugin.
If I find the source I'll update this post.

I knew there was a reason I keep EVERYTHING in subversion

I also found an event for when a player is hit by a Sniper's Huntsman arrow.

arrow_impact

Might be useful.

Hey,
The plugin won't compile, and the compiled one you provide won't load.
Can you update this?

Or is there another solution?
