Cool script. I've always wondered how much health soldiers have.
Since barrett kills with one shot and one shot damage is 495 then it must be below that.

[Falcon`]

If no realistic mode then max health is 150
if yes, 65

Idk what if vested

[Gizd]

I can make it display % of max health but plain damage is less confusing to me.

[DorkeyDear]

It may be best to have an option of how to display it, as a percent, or real damage. Some people are completely unaware how much heath a player has (whether or not it is realistic) and would prefer percent (I suggest without the % sign though), while others may find it confusing. If you really wanted to make this complicated, you could make a per-user choice, and save settings based on TagID / IP / Name but I don't think anybody expects that. GJ tho.

[DarkCrusade]

I like it very much, fits any RPG server perfectly!

[DorkeyDear]

It may be possible to add tricks to make more than 10 numbers shown... Have a variable for X,Y for every one in an array[1..10] (or 0..9) or something, and on do damage, if the distance between that damage and that text is < some constant, edit that text instead; I haven't actually viewed this script so I'm not sure how it works when it comes to removal of the numbers, but you may need timing variables in there as well so it knows when to remove the numbers (if you remove the numbers after so much time).

Soldat meets Borderlands, nice.

[xmRipper]

Woah creative. I really like this one.

I got inspired by Team Fortress 2 actually.

Here comes the update! I see you like the idea so I'm going to work on it more. More improvements coming soon.

[L[0ne]R]

Hehe, nice. I love that new addition to scriptcore. More and more interesting scripts are starting to pop up. Good job.

[Gizd]

Here's the next update. After some struggling with problems I like to solve and having fun with binary numbers. I'm out of ideas so if there are no bugs it should stay at v1.2.

[CheeSeMan.]

would it be possible for the script to detect if someone was dealing too much damage? eg using damage modifier hacks and kick them from the server? I know it depends a lot on range and such, but when someone is doing a 1 hit rugar kill for example :/ ?

I'm sure some scripters could come up with some nifty ideas to defeat a few hacks! Get on it! :DDD

Not possible, there are just too many things that might affect damage(or weapon recognition).

Why do you think so? Isn't checking the weapon and collating damage with some maximum amounts in OnPlayerDamage enough?

Let's say we pick up a ruger, then we shoot a headshot from really close distance - let's say dmg was 110. We add some just to be sure.

Code: [Select]

const
max_ruger = 130;

function OnPlayerDamage(Victim,Shooter: Byte;Damage: Integer;Weapon: Byte) : integer
begin
if Weapon = 6 and Damage > max_ruger then BanPlayer(Shooter,0,'Hacks');
end;


[dnmr]

you should be able to approximate it pretty precisely. Also, the new parameter in onplayerdamage should help recognizing the weapon. But that sounds like a separate script already

[Gizd]

If weapon is using plain bullet Weapon = GetPlayerStat(Shooter,'primary') so yeah, buggy.

[VirtualTT]

Nice script, though it's a bit useless the way it is.
I'm planning to use the same concept in my medic script.

Also i think checking of the maximum damage value is already implemented in soldat itself - basic anti-cheat protection...

Nope..

[Gizd]

Nice script, though it's a bit useless the way it is.

Players can estimate how much health enemy has left or what part of body they hit... and that's quite it...
