Help redirecting damage?

[gnounc]

Code: Select all


void() W_damageSwap =
{
   local vector dir;
   
   dir = aim (self, 100);
   traceline (self.origin, self.origin + dir*200, FALSE, self);

   if (trace_ent.takedamage)
   {
      self.flags = self.flags + FL_HOST;
      self.occupant = trace_ent;
   }
};


and basically stuck this in T_Damage

Code: Select all


   if (targ.flags & FL_HOST)
   {
      targ.occupant.health = targ.occupant.health - take;
      // react to the damage
      oldself = self;
      self = targ;
   }



I'm trying to make a selected enemy take damage in my place.

[edited because I'm retarded and had the entities switched around]

almost working

can't you just change targ at the start of the function?

if (targ.occupant && targ.occupant.health > 0)
targ = targ.occupant;

Apparently yes, yes I can.
Done and done, thank you.
