Damaging player via point_hurt

[Tuck]

Is this being worked on the - player.health is kinda rather buggy to use since it can crash clients if he is set to be on zero health :/

If it has already been added please post an example need this feature :P

[Tuck]

Doesn't look like anybody knows how to do this so another question would be for the devs, when can it be added i've been wanting this before client filtering and as i see it, it's easier todo then client command filtering ?

Hey Tuck,

Setting the player health to 0 doesn't actually kill the player → it just makes the server crazy. You need to kill him. Your best bet for now is to sigscan CCSPlayer::CommitSuicide to kill him. I'd like to sigscan it for you but... I can't...

Also, this topic is kinda a double of this one, imo...

I never had the server crash but when a player gets set bellow zero he gets frozen and cannot move, if you then try to lower his health even more when he died, client crashes (something like that)

Ups, i though i posted that on the old forums, deleted that double.

However does anybody have an ETA on when this feature will be implented ? :/

"Damage", itself, is not a "feature" that can be implemented. I have not had a chance to look into the best way to accomplish this, as of yet. There is no ETA on "any" features/abilities of this plugin. Things get done when they get done. And no, the ability to damage a player is definitely not "easier" to add than client command registering/filtering...

Oh i though this could be done with keyvalues in edict_t or something?

Hey Tuck,

The problem is that CBaseEntity::AcceptInput requires a variant_t object as parameter which can't be used directly since it is not public. I'm sure we can wrap it and then, expose it but I don't think it is a priority. For now, just kill the player and let him rest in peace.
