I'm trying to look at the logs and differentiate between a player being given a medpack by another medic and a medic feeding themselves a medpack. What I'm seeing in the logs, the 2 events are logged identically:
Item: 8 item_health

If a medic is given 3 healthpacks, I'll see 3 of those "Item" messages.. and sometimes 1 message that says Health_Pack: 10 8

But there doesn't appear to be a 1 to 1 relationship between the "Item" message and the "Health_pack" message if a medic eats more than 1 pack from another medic.

Ideally I would think that a medic eating one of their own packs would have just the "Item" message for each pack. While a medic eating a pack given to them by another medic would have both an "Item" and a "Health_pack" message for EACH medpack eaten.

Am I missing something that would help me tell the difference?

Thanks

i think u cant find the dirrence especaly since they can also be put on the grond and thne u can walk over it but once its on the ground it an entity that doesnt refernce to who originaly made it i think

maybe u can get the difference when u use etpro lua scripting

The game knows, because it knows who to give the XP to. However, I think you are correct that you cannot tell from the log.

It would be tricky if possible.

Ugh.. I wouldn't even know where to begin. I can figure out the syntax/constructs of most any programming language... my roadblock is knowing where to look for the data.. and how to use it once I got it. lol

Any help you could give me would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Jaymod has a feature to stop self healing, not sure if it's any help

To know what the various fields and API calls do, you'll have to examine the ET SDK source.

That said, I have serious doubts you'll be able to do it effectively, as you can't currently set lua callbacks on the various entity functions.

Verry tru iv tryed it and i didnt get any far. i do have a more complicated idea that might work but that would invovle code in RunFrame and that might screw up fps

Thanks for the effort. I do appreciate it. But it looks like it can't be done.. and that's fine.

Thanks
