Why are you creating the event? It will automatically occur if you use DealDamage()
Also, I don't think you can make it headshot unfortunately, maybe a hook inside player_hurt to force a headshot might?

Probably not. Most games rely on hitgroup for that from a trace. There does not appear to be any hitgroup key to set on the point_hurt entity.

Events are just notifications. They get fired after the event actually happens and only exist to notify the server, client, and/or any plugins with event listeners that the event occurred. Firing the player_hurt event manually would lie that the player was hurt, but they would not actually take damage or lose health.

This got me confused: http://wiki.alliedmods.net/Events_%2...d_Scripting%29

Creating and deleting an entity every time you do a damage call is a little inefficient IMO.

If you really wanted to use this method, I'd spawn a point_hurt one time at map start and then always use that entity rather than constantly respawning them.

And even then, I'd only do that in the absence of the extension that does it properly.

Just my opinion dont mind me

Then it would need to be integrated with your plugin and not a simple snippet.

I take it there's no way to deal damage from the client to themselves with this?

Specifically in conjunction with pyro flamethrower to create a jetpack effect in PropHunt.

[CrancK]

if you kill people using damage like this, making the attacker another client, what kill-message would come up (tf2 particularly?)

the weapon the attacker is currently holding? or a world kill message?

also, i'm guessing this way painsounds automatically play?
(my previous method of dealing damage made use of SetEntityHealth, and thus had no sound, which i had to provide for it )

edit: ohw, also... does this damage push a player?

[Sammy-ROCK!]

A suicide message like when a soldier kills himself with a rocket?

When I kill myself with damage from myself to myself with the demoman bottle it gives me a kill message like this:

|Bottle Icon| |My name|

Yes, with this function proper death messages occur, as well as stat plugin compatibility.
DealDamage(victim_index,50,attacker_index,DMG _BULLET,"weapon_ak47");

That would make the engine think victim_index was shot for 50 damage (armor distribution works too) with an AK47 used by attacker_index. You can have alot of fun experimenting with Damage type as well.
