Projectile Source Identification

[Arcleader]

Fair enough :/ So to do this server-sided, I would just check to see if the player is firing, and if so relay their coordinates to a client-sided script that can implement them into a HUD?

Yes. They're called GUI's though

[Arcleader]

I wouldn't want a GUI as that implies that there's a window or something that the user interacts with. I want something that simply gives the user a heads up (Heads Up Display).

I don't believe you can make custom huds though, you'll need to use a gui and have it masquerade as an hud

[Greek2me]

You can make HUDs by adding them to the PlayGUI.

The HUD is a GUI, so you have to make another GUI to add to the HUD, which is a GUI.

I still want to know this

If so, how do I define %obj to get the projectile so %obj.dump(); gives me the projectile's data?

I could use a centerprint to name a cardinal direction from which way the shooter is for all I care. I can figure out how to make an output for this script if I make it. I'd like to know if anyone can help me with my original question and/or this:

Me too bro. Me too.

It actually is an exploit. If you want this done, it should be done server sided, period.

Yes, but good luck making it 100% not exploitable, if that's even possible.

[Arcleader]

Thank you.

[Ipquarx]

Thank you.

But err don't directly send coordinates of the player, and maybe only send a general direction to a client that gets hit, like half life.
