TF2 DamageInfo Tools

A library that provides a few methods to generate particular forms of damage.

tf_generic_bomb wasn't enough.

Usage

The library exposes a couple of opaque handles with the information necessary to apply radius damage.

/**
 * recreate the Ullapool Caber explosion with custom damage / radius
 * assume all variables are valid
 */
CTakeDamageInfo damageInfo = new CTakeDamageInfo(owner, owner, damage,
		DMG_BLAST | DMG_SLOWBURN, stickbomb, vecShootPos, vecShootPos, vecShootPos,
		TF_CUSTOM_STICKBOMB_EXPLOSION);

CTFRadiusDamageInfo radiusInfo = new CTFRadiusDamageInfo(damageInfo, vecShootPos, radius);

radiusInfo.Apply();

delete radiusInfo;
delete damageInfo;

In the future I'd like to expose more options for both *DamageInfo handle types.

Runtime Dependencies

This project uses the memory allocation functionality provided in Source Scramble; that extension must be installed. This plugin currently targets a minimum version of 0.3.4, though the latest is preferred.

Building

This project can be built in a reproductive manner with Ninja, git, and Python 3.

For this particular project, you will also want the chevron and toml Python packages, as some SourcePawn code is automatically generated to deal with in-memory structs.

1. Clone the repository and its submodules: git clone --recurse-submodules ...
2. Execute python3 configure.py --spcomp-dir ${PATH} within the repo, where ${PATH} is the path to the directory containing spcomp. Verified working against 1.9 and 1.10.
3. Run ninja. Output will be available under build/.

(If you'd like to use a similar build system for your project, the template project is available here.)
