You know how on the right of your screen (maybe left) when you get certain types of damage it displays an icon. i.e. poison gas displays a gas mask, fire a little flame, ice/ddrowing displays a snow flake or w/e.

I want to force the display of that. How would i do that?

Specifically i want to display the snowflake when attacked.

Depends of damageBit you pass in TakeDamage and also inflictor origin is used.

If you don't use TakeDamage, you can make the game send such msg by setting :

pev_dmg_take
m_bitsDamageType
pev_dmg_inflictor

See in my gasnade plugin i've made such a code. http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=532225

Code :

PHP Code:

TakeDamage(id, iEnt, iOwner, flDmg, DMG_SLOWFREEZE) 


PHP Code:

TakeDamage(id, iEnt, iAttacker, Float:flDmg, iDmgBit)
{
    new Float:flHealth;
    pev(id, pev_health, flHealth);

    flHealth -= flDmg;

    if( flHealth < 1 )
    {
        ExecuteHamB( Ham_Killed, id, iAttacker, 0 );
        return;
    }

    set_pev(id, pev_health, flHealth);

    set_pev(id, pev_dmg_take, flDmg);
    set_pdata_int(id, m_bitsDamageType, iDmgBit);
    set_pev(id, pev_dmg_inflictor, iEnt);
} 


I use this because i want to know output damage, but if you don't care, you can just use ExecuteHam(Ham_TakeDamage with correct damageBit.

wont this just work?

TakeDamage(id, iEnt, iAttacker, Float:flDmg, iDmgBit)
{
sethamparaminteger(5, iDmgBit | DMG_SLOWFREEZE)
}

I really just want to display that icon. Not actually deal damage. But when i get to that i'll look over those options more thoroughly and decide accordingly.

Thanks for all responses!

Then use only 3 last lines of the stock i gave, will only trigger the Damage message.
Or send manually a Damage message using message_begin.
