Looking for some more equivalents...

1. es_fire (es.fire/es_xfire)
2. eventscripts_language (i.e. server language setting)

[3. Possibly some good ideas for "damage" replacement (i.e. something else besides creating a point_hurt entity and using it to damage players)]





P.S.: It's really about time that the docs go back up, I spend so much time searching for stuff in the source code of the cpp and py files

Adding a server language will be easy enough. I will do that shortly.

As far as damage is concerned, I "think" we should be able to create a TakeDamageInfo instance by calling CTakeDamageInfo.Init dynamically and using that as an argument to pass to CBaseCombatCharacter.OnTakeDamage. However, my attempts at this, so far, have not yielded much success.

Hey guys,

This is actually easy to to restructure a CTakeDamageInfo object. As you can see, there's no virtual functions so you won't have to sigscan for the constructor as you doesn't have to set the dispatch table. All you have to do is to restructure the members:

Syntax: Select all

Vector			m_vecDamageForce;
Vector			m_vecDamagePosition;
Vector			m_vecReportedPosition;	// Position players are told damage is coming from
EHANDLE			m_hInflictor;
EHANDLE			m_hAttacker;
EHANDLE			m_hWeapon;
float			m_flDamage;
float			m_flMaxDamage;
float			m_flBaseDamage;			// The damage amount before skill leve adjustments are made. Used to get uniform damage forces.
int				m_bitsDamageType;
int				m_iDamageCustom;
int				m_iDamageStats;
int				m_iAmmoType;			// AmmoType of the weapon used to cause this damage, if any
float			m_flRadius;

// CS:GO
int				m_iDamagedOtherPlayers;
int				m_iObjectsPenetrated;
uint32			m_uiBulletID;
uint8			m_uiRecoilIndex;

According to that your memory need to looks like:

Syntax: Select all

0   m_vecDamageForce.x
4   m_vecDamageForce.y
8   m_vecDamageForce.z
12  m_vecDamagePosition.x
16  m_vecDamagePosition.y
20  m_vecDamagePosition.z
24  m_vecReportedPosition.x
28  m_vecReportedPosition.y
32  m_vecReportedPosition.z
36  m_hInflictor
40  m_hAttacker
44  m_hWeapon
48  m_flDamage
52  m_flMaxDamage
56  m_flBaseDamage
60  m_bitsDamageType
64  m_iDamageCustom
68  m_iDamageStats
72  m_iAmmoType
76  m_flRadius
80  m_iDamagedOtherPlayers
84  m_iObjectsPenetrated
88  m_uiBulletID
92  m_uiRecoilIndex

Where you need to allocate a pointer of 96 bytes (even tho uint8 is 1 byte long it need to be aligned so m_uiRecoilIndex is from 92 to 96). Also, note that OnTakeDamage is actually a "callback" and should not be called directly ? you need to call CBaseEntity::TakeDamage which will take care to call the proper callback for you (depending of the given entity by using the power of its dispatch table :) ). So, something like this should works:

Syntax: Select all

# Allocate our pointer...
damageinfo = Binutils.AllocateMemory(96)

# Set m_flDamage...
Binutils.SetLocInt(damageinfo + 48, 100)

# Call CBaseEntity::TakeDamage(<entity pointer>, damageinfo)

# [IMPORTANT] Free the memory used...
Binutils.DeallocatePointer(damageinfo)

NOTE: This is only based on the code, I didn't test anything, will do as soon as I can if nobody got that to work.

Good luck,

I did not want to derail this thread entirely, so I started another specific to the damage idea:
