Hooks not working at all in PropHunt.

[FusionLord]

I cannot for the life of me get the PlayerDeath and PlayerDisconnected events to fire.

Any insight would be great.

if CLIENT then return end

AddCSLuaFile()

Bounty = {}
Bounty.bounties = {}

-- Pointshop = 1
-- Pointshop2 = 2
-- Custom = 3
Bounty.pstype = 2

local G = GAMEMODE or GM

function G:PlayerDeath( victim, inflictor, attacker )
	Bounty.PlayerDeath( victim, inflictor, attacker )
end

function G:PlayerDisconnected( ply )
	Bounty.PlayerDisconnected( ply )
end

function Bounty.PlayerDeath( victim, inflictor, attacker )
	print("Prop Killed")
	if ( victim == attacker ) then return end
	if ( Bounty.bounties[victim] ~= nil ) then
		print("Victim was not nil.")
		local amount = Bounty.bounties[victim]["amount"];
		local poster = Bounty.bounties[victim]["poster"]
		if (Bounty.pstype == 1) then -- PointShop
			attacker:PS_GivePoints(amount)
		elseif (Bounty.pstype == 2) then -- PointShop2
			attacker:PS2_AddStandardPoints(amount)
		else -- Custom Point handling.
			-- add custom code here.
		end
		Bounty.bounties[victim] = nil
		local message = "" .. attacker:Nick() .. " collect the " .. amount .. "/pts bounty on " .. victim:Nick() .. ", posted by " .. poster:Nick() .. "."
		PrintMessage(4, message)
	end
end
hook.Add( "PlayerDeath", "PropKilled_Bounties", Bounty.PlayerDeath )
print("hook registered! ^^^^")

function Bounty.PlayerDisconnected( ply )
	if ( Bounty.bounties[ply] ~= nil ) then
		Bounty.bounties[ply] = nil
		PrintMessage(4, "The bounty on " .. ply:Nick() .. " has been dropped.")
	end
end
hook.Add( "PlayerDisconnected", "BountyPlayerDisconnect", Bounty.PlayerDisconnected )

Any errors?

Does "hook registered! ^^^^" get printed?

Why do you have AddCSLuaFile if you're not using this file clientside?

[FusionLord]

Yes hook register prints.

Might add client side stuff later.

[FusionLord]

Anyone have any ideas? -bump-

[Windwhistle]

I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure you should get rid of these:

function G:PlayerDeath( victim, inflictor, attacker )
	Bounty.PlayerDeath( victim, inflictor, attacker )
end

function G:PlayerDisconnected( ply )
	Bounty.PlayerDisconnected( ply )
end

Comment them out and see what happens for the PlayerDeath hook.

[FusionLord]

Eitherway it would at least fire once. i've tried it both ways and print("Prop Killed") never fires.

[NeatNit]

Is it possible that an earlier hook returns a value (which it shouldn't do), thus preventing your hooks from being fired? I say, try hooking into Think and see if that at least works.

[FusionLord]

Couldn't find ANY references to it in the fretta base or in PropHunt gamemode.

[gmatt1923]

Instead of checking through every file manually you can list all hooks with

PrintTable(hook.GetTable())

then you'll know where to look assuming developers have chosen reasonable identifiers for their hooks.
