(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Hi all. I am building a gamemode atm and I was wondering if there was a way of knowing when a player has been hit...in my case knifed.

I want to freeze a player when they are knifed (not kill...everyone has godmode) and un-frozen when knifed again. I can do the freezing bit, but dont know how to see if a person has been knifed.
I have had a good look through the zeroy scripts but cant see anything that would work.

Any ideas?
Thanks

Yeah, was just thinking i could do a thread for something like;

    

if(player gethealth() <= 200)

     Player freeze

With other variables too, but since knife only will be used, I can do that i think. Thinking bout it, this would mean i wouldnt need godmode too :yes:



Im hoping so, just cant find it lol...hoping its not part of the weapon scripts (damage inflicted, attacker, victim, etc)

This could cause a potential bug in the gamemode though. The person that is "it" could just double knife a player and kill them. Or a player could be frozen or unfrozen by someone that is not "it"

Yeah I have 3 check atm...team check, health and another which ive forgottem lol. and i can set the health to a huge number so a few knife attacks wont do anything...or give godmode to the frozen

Ps its going to be a tdm mode...1st team to tag all the opposing team wins. Knife an enemy to freeze him, knife a friendly to unfreeze him

Sounds good man. Let me know if you need help with anything

Will do FourzerotwoFAILS Thanks

***EDIT***
Ok, the health thing didn't work...doesn't matter what I set the health to, 1 knife kills the player. Am starting to wonder if the damage is a percentage...i.e knife attack is 100% damage.

Also, I have a foreach loop for all the players in the game and inside is a give knife command. The problem is that the spinning-knife-in-the-hand animation does it everytime someone spawns - so it goes mad at 1st spawn whilst everyone gets in, then it spins every time someone dies and respawns - although this is a minor thing as no-one dies in the tag gamemode.

Dont know how I'm gonna do the health thing though....

Just do the radius bro, that is what i would do.

I'm pretty sure you can't get a return from a knife unless that player was killed, change godmode to self.health to 9999 which is semi-god and monitor if after the knife button is pressed, any of the players will get a decrease in health, you'll have to everyone lightweight unless they can lose health with falling damage, hope it helps:

add me on skype, I have a couple more ideas: wasborntostandout

    OnplayerSpawned()

	StartMonitor();



StartMonitor()

{

	self.health = 9999;

	MonitorKnife();

}



MonitorKnife()

{

	self endon("death");

	for(;

	{

		if(Self meleebuttonpressed())

		{

			wait 0.01;

			foreach(player in level.players)

			{

				if(player.health < 9999)

				{

					// do whatever you want with him here

				}

			}

		}

	}	

}

enjoy

    

waitForKnifeDamage()

{

	self endon("disconnect");

	

	for(;

	{

		self waittill("damage", damage, attacker, direction_vec, point, type, modelname, tagname, partname, weaponname);

		if(isSubStr(weaponname, "knife"))

		{

			if(type == "MOD_MELEE")

			{

				if(!self areControlsFrozen())

					self freezeControls(true);

				else

					self freezeControls(false);

			}

		}

	}

}

EDIT:
loop high health instead of using enableInvulnerability() for godmode

thanks guys - will try these :yes:
