ModEvents.res Discussion

There's a lot to go through in modevents.res, so I thought it would be useful to create a topic on findings, inconsistencies, questions, etc.

I'll start it out with a question. Is there a specific event for protecting a player from a common infected? I can't seem to find it. Or is there nothing specifically for that, possibly a manipulation of other events? Maybe it could be something with player_hurt where the attacker ID was killed but gave no damage.

Haven't seen one for that, but I did notice a few oddities
player_hurt fires an extra time after a player kills another player but passes attacker and attackerentid both 0

Also weapon_out_of_ammo doesn't seem to fire when viewing with display_game_events

Same with tank_killed

The wiki says display_game_events should should boomer_exploded when we pop one. It instructs us to use developer 0/1. I don't think our version has it, though I'm not assuming that's cause of the missing display of events. I'm seeing a pattern here; is this the same thing?

You can enable developer mode with either the -dev or -allowdebug switch when starting the game. I don't think it's differs from the developer cvar.

For protecting against damage from commons you can use AllowTakeDamage instead.

function AllowTakeDamage(damageTable) { //DeepPrintTable(damageTable) // Handy for debugging if ((damageTable.Attacker.GetClassname() == "infected") && (damageTable.Victim.GetClassname() == "player")) { return false; } return true; }

The "infected" classname is only used for commons, SI use "player".
