Headshot checker

[Andriko1]

Can someone tell me how to make a script that checks for headshots? Would I have to put in the gamemode or in a swep's code?

[c-unit]

server sided gamemode code:

[lua]function headshot(ply, hitgroup)
if (hitgroup == HITGROUP_HEAD) then
--do shit here
end
end

hook.Add("PlayerDeath", "headshots", headshot)[/lua]

[editline]7th December 2010[/editline]

Or use the ScalePlayerDamage hook, so it happens [b]every[/b] headshot.

[Zephilinox]

[lua]
hook.Add ("ScalePlayerDamage", "lalaladoda", function ( ply, hitgroup, dmginfo )
if hitgroup == HITGROUP_HEAD then print ("Boom")
end
end)
[/lua]

You would need to put it in lua/autorun/server, or addons/abc123/lua/autorun/server

[c-unit]

What's the difference?

[QUOTE=c-unit;26548402]What's the difference?[/QUOTE]

The hook, and I print "Boom".

[Andriko1]

Hmm, so... would this give the player that got the headshot 50 points?
[lua]
ply.point = 0
hook.Add ("ScalePlayerDamage", "lalaladoda", function ( ply, hitgroup, dmginfo )
if hitgroup == HITGROUP_HEAD then
ply.point = ply.point + 50
end
end)
[/lua]

That would give the player that got a bullet stuck in his skull, 50 points.
[lua]
ply.point = 0
hook.Add ("ScalePlayerDamage", "lalaladoda", function ( ply, hitgroup, dmginfo )
local ply = dmginfo:GetAttacker()
if hitgroup == HITGROUP_HEAD then
ply.point = ply.point + 50
end
end)[/lua]

rofl ok thanks a lot, btw what would be the difference between ply.point and ply:point

[QUOTE=Andriko1;26553351]rofl ok thanks a lot, btw what would be the difference between ply.point and ply:point[/QUOTE]

Uh, I don't really understand it myself, but basically its like adding that variable to the table "ply", ply:point would have to be defined in the players metatable or something.

here's something thejjokker made in a request thread of mine, it checks if a player has god mode enabled, and if they do it returns true.

[lua]local pMeta = FindMetaTable("Player");
local oldGodEnable = pMeta.GodEnable;
local oldGodDisable = pMeta.GodDisable;

function pMeta:GodEnable()
self.GodMode = true;
oldGodEnable(self);
end

function pMeta:GodDisable()
self.GodMode = false;
oldGodDisable(self);
end

function pMeta:IsGodded()
return self.GodMode;
end[/lua]

[Andriko1]

hook.Add ("ScalePlayerDamage", "lalaladoda", function ( ply, hitgroup, dmginfo )
local ply = dmginfo:GetAttacker()
if hitgroup == HITGROUP_HEAD then
ply.point = ply.point + 50
print( ply:Nick() .. " got 50 points for a headshot!")
end
end)

so would this print if I got a headshot?
"Andriko got 50 points for a headshot!"

Yes.

But that would print it to the console

PrintMessage ( HUD_PRINTTALK, ply:Nick().." got 50 points for a headshot!")

[Andriko1]

It works :) although when you get a headshot with a shotgun, it prints it multiple times as well as gives multiple points times 50... and crossbow doesnt give headshots, as well as rpg. Is there any way to fix that?

I don't know about the crossbow or rpgs, I'm guessing because they use a physics object, for instance a crossbow tip and a missile.

[lua]
ply.point = 0
local delay = 1
hook.Add ("ScalePlayerDamage", "lalaladoda", function ( victim, hitgroup, dmginfo )
local ply = dmginfo:GetAttacker()

if hitgroup == HITGROUP_HEAD and delay > 0 then
delay = 0
ply.point = ply.point + 50
PrintMessage ( HUD_PRINTTALK, ply:Nick().." got 50 points for a headshot!")
timer.Simple(0.1, delay = 1)
end

end)
[/lua]
try that, change 0.1 of timer simple higher if necessary.

ply.point refers to the class "ply", used in object oriented programming. ply:point would run on ply.

[Andriko1]

uhh, what? also zeph why did yo uchange ply to victim in the paramaters for the hook

[Zephilinox]

[QUOTE=Andriko1;26555305]uhh, what? also zeph why did yo uchange ply to victim in the paramaters for the hook[/QUOTE]

because if you ever wanted to do something related to the guy who got shot, e.g remove points, using ply would remove points for the attacker.

By the way, I suggest in the function you add this

[lua]
print (hitgroup)
[/lua]

and kill someone with a crossbow/rpg, look at your console (or if its a dedicated server, look at the command box) and see what the hitgroup was, then you can do something like this:

[lua]
if hitgroup == HITGROUP_XYZ and ply:GetActiveWeapon() == "weapon_crossbow" then etcetcetc
elseif hitgroup == HITGROUP_ZYX and ply:GetActiveWeapon() == "weapon_rpg" then etcetcetc
elseif hitgroup == HITGROUP_HEAD and delay > 0 then etcetcetc
end
[/lua]

[QUOTE=thejjokerr;26548556]Yours doesn't work. Dont make up supplied arguments.[/QUOTE]

Works just fine for me :3

[Loures]

Doing ply:point() would run the metamethod point() on the player that's specified in the ply variable.
Doing ply:point() it's the same as doing ply.point(ply)

Your 'argument' is invalid.

[Andriko1]

the timer added to the code broke the script entirely :(

NVM a fail on my part
