Weapons not reported correctly in player_hurt

[dclayto1]

I don't know if this is an issue on demofile's side or not, but it looks some weapons aren't reported correctly on the PlayerHurt

The 4 examples I have are:

• usp-s damage isn't reported as usp_silencer, but is as hkp2000
• m4a1-s damage isn't reported as m4a1_silencer, but is as m4a1
• mp5 damage isn't reported as mp5sd, but is as mp7
• r8 damage isn't reported as revolver, but is as deagle

The PlayerDeath event though does have the right weapon. I was really just wondering if anyone else noticed this for the PlayerHurt event

This is simply how the weapons are reported in the player_hurt event. If you want to get the actual weapon name, you need to get the attacking player entity, get their active weapon, then get the item name. Something like:

demoFile.gameEvents.on("player_hurt", e => {
  const victim = demoFile.entities.getByUserId(e.userid);
  const attacker = demoFile.entities.getByUserId(e.attacker);
  console.log(
    `${attacker?.name} hit ${victim?.name} [${attacker?.weapon?.itemName}] for ${e.dmg_health} HP`
  );
});

The game does this transformation for you already on player_death, but for some reason they didn't do it for player_hurt.

Ah okay, I wasn't sure where the disconnect was but figured it was how the game was reporting it. Thanks for the response and advice!!

In case anyone else runs into this same issue, to further accurately report the damage, you need to first distinguish whether the reported weapon is a grenade or not. If it's a grenade type, use the reported weapon, otherwise the damage would be attributed to what the attacker's current weapon is.
