Trying to make a plugin which pre hooks an event and removes it, but it just won't let me do it. As its a plugin for L4D am using the current 1.2 snapshot. The code is as follows..

public OnPluginStart()
{
    HookEvent("player_hurt", Event_PlayerHurt, EventHookMode_Pre);
}

...

public Event_PlayerHurt(Handle:event, const String:name[], bool:dontBroadcast)
{
    new userid = GetEventInt(event, "userid");
    new client = GetClientOfUserId(userid);
    if (IsGodMode(client)) {
        PrintCenterText(client, "You actually got hurt, but it got prevented!");
        return Plugin_Handled;
    }
    return Plugin_Continue;
}

Any help would be appreciated!

Returning Plugin_Handled on an event doesn't actually block the actions that trigger the event. To set godmode on a player, do this:

SetEntProp(client, Prop_Data, "m_takedamage", 0, 1);

And to remove it, just do:

SetEntProp(client, Prop_Data, "m_takedamage", 2, 1);

A simple stock I use consists of this:

PHP Code:

stock PerformGodMode(client)
{
    if (GetEntProp(client, Prop_Data, "m_takedamage", 1) == 2)
    {
        SetEntProp(client, Prop_Data, "m_takedamage", 0, 1);
    }
    else
    {
        SetEntProp(client, Prop_Data, "m_takedamage", 2, 1);
    }
}

Well am not really after making god mode, just an example to show the event handling. Would need some info on blocking events from occuring and need to know if it is possible on the L4D snapshot.
But to reply directly to your idea. Its exactly what i am doing now, trying to reset the specific entity property i got from the data maps. This doesnt seem to work as intended, at least not always. Sometimes its working sometimes not. Which made me find a more reliable way and try to prevent the event at all.

The thing with L4D is that lots of stuff gets changed where you can/can't take damage, so you'll more than likely have to hook a few events and check to see if they still have god mode enabled on them.

All the events I've used in left 4 dead are for achievement purposes only. Your best bet would be to reverse the changes the event makes, which may require a timer in some cases.
