Hey, Ive been playing with TraceLine and TraceHull. Now I know knifes are TraceHull. Nades, wtf? I can't get them to work with eathier one. How do they work? Setting them set_tr2(trace, TR_pHit, hit) doesn't work anything and setting the Friction doesn't work against nades. Any ideas?

Thanks

client_damage()?

errr...not what I'm looking for. I want do traceline/tracehull the nade damage back to the person. I know I can use Ham and block it then just take their life but I want to know ifi ts possible with TraceHull/TraceLine

Nades don't deal damage by traceline or tracehull. They call FindEntityInSphere to find targets, with a radius of 350 units (CS only).

Err, okay, so how would you do a "traceline" like damage event? Hook client_damage FindEntityInSphere then do w/e subtract life ect?

You Findentinsphere and for each ent you find, give them damage. Use Ham's TakeDamage; it works best and is the most modern way.

Besides, how would you get_tr2() for pHit for more than one target?

[Nomexous]

Keep in mind that TraceLine/TraceHull/FindEntityInSphere don't deal damage. They merely provide the mod with a target to deal damage to. The mod will decide what damage to deal, if any at all. For example, tracelines are fired from the player constantly, but damage is only dealt if the player is firing. For grenades, hooking FM_FindEntityInSphere is pretty useless because only the origin and radius are passed. You can't tell which ent is calling the function. Plus, it needs to be looped, so you can't tell whether or not it's already hit another target. Wilson is right; use Ham_TakeDamage.

PHP Code:

#include <amxmodx>
#include <hamsandwich>

public plugin_init()
{
     register_plugin("Grenade Damage example", "1.0", "Nomexous")
     RegisterHam(Ham_TakeDamage, "player", "player_hurt")
}

public player_hurt(player, inflictor, attacker, Float:damage, damagebits)
{
     // We need differentiate gun damage from grenade damage.
     // We know for grenade damage, inflictor (the grenade's entity index) will not the the same as attacker (grenade's owner), so:
     if (inflictor == attacker) return HAM_IGNORED

     // You can alter the damage dealt. In this case, I doubled the damage dealt. This is very convenient, and not hackish at all.
     // Do your own checks here. The variable "player" is the person being hit by the damage.
     SetHamParamFloat(4, damage * 2.0)
     return HAM_HANDLED
} 


I haven't tested this code snippet, but it should work. I think that you really should check damagebits to determine whether or not the damage was done by a grenade, but apparently in CS DMG_BLAST is not set for grenade damage, which I think is counter-intuitive.

Okay thanks.
