Disabling Damage Knockback

[meirl]

So, I want the disable the "knockback" the damaged player gets when he is shot, but I could find anything in the Wiki about this, any help would be appreciated.

I tried a bunch of stuff, and I think the only way to stop the knockback is by changing the method of which the damage is applied. Something like this disables the knockback:

hook.Add( 'EntityTakeDamage', 'NoDamageKnockback', function( target, dmginfo )

	if dmginfo:IsBulletDamage() and target:IsPlayer() then -- if the damage was caused by a bullet and the target was a player

		local prevdamage = dmginfo:GetDamage() -- get the damage before it gets set to 0
		dmginfo:SetDamage( 0 ) -- set it to 0 (this stops the knockback)
		target:SetHealth( target:Health() - prevdamage ) -- change the target's health using a different method

	end

end )

The problem is that this wouldn't be compatible with other damage hooks (ScalePlayerDamage,EntityTakeDamage) plus setting a player's health to 0 or a negative number won't kill him or register as a kill for the other player

hook.Add("ScalePlayerDamage","Remove Force", function(victim,hitgroup,dmginfo)

local Damage = dmginfo:GetDamage()
local Health = victim:Health()

if Damage < Health then
victim:SetHealth(Health - Damage)
return true
end

end)

Didn't test this but if you know lua you should get what I mean.

Only problem is that other damage hooks may not work with this method because you're telling the other hooks to fuck off (plus there's shit like headshots and leg/arm shots to keep track of so a leg shot might still knock you back)

Really you can use this method if you have a special gamemode without any addons that modify damage.

I hope that someone else has a better answer, because I've been struggling to know this for quite some time. [img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img] [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/CTakeDamageInfo/SetDamageForce]CTakeDamageInfo:SetDamageForce[/url] doesn't seem to work.

alright, thanks guys, i'm sort of using mpan1's method now, heres the code:

function GM:ScalePlayerDamage(ply, hitgroup, dmginfo)
	if(ply == dmginfo:GetAttacker()) then return true; end
	if(ply:Team() == dmginfo:GetAttacker():Team()) then return true; end
	if(hitgroup == HITGROUP_HEAD) then
		dmginfo:ScaleDamage(1337);
		for k,v in next, player.GetAll() do
			v:ChatPrint(dmginfo:GetAttacker():Name().." got a headshot!");
		end
	else
		dmginfo:ScaleDamage(mults[hitgroup]);
	end
end

function GM:EntityTakeDamage(ply, info)
	ply:SetHealth(ply:Health() - info:GetDamage());
	info:SetDamage(0);
end
