Member Function Documentation

Damage()

void combatAPI_t::Damage	(	entity	targetEnt,
		entity	inflictingEnt,
		entity	attackingEnt,
		string	damageDef,
		vector	damageOrigin,
		vector	damageDir,
		vector	hitLocation
	)

Applies damage to a given entity.

Requires the use of damageDef/entityDef since we're run out of parameters in QuakeC.

Parameters

targetEnt	is the entity receiving the damage.
inflictingEnt	is the entity causing the damage (e.g. a projectile, rocket)
attackingEnt	is the entity owning up to the damage.
damageDef	is the damageDef containing all the info, including damage points
damageOrigin	is the location where the damage comes from.
damageDir	is the direction the damage is coming from.
hitLocation	is the final hit location, where the damage is applied.

Obituary()

void combatAPI_t::Obituary	(	string	targetName,
		string	attackerName,
		string	weaponDef,
		string	meansOfDeath
	)

Lets everyone in the game know that something, or something, has passed.

Parameters

targetName	is the entity that has passed away.
attackerName	is responsible. Can be empty.
weaponDef	is the weapon used. Can be empty.
meansOfDeath	is the additional means. Could mean something extra.

RadiusDamage()

void combatAPI_t::RadiusDamage	(	vector	damageCenter,
		float	damageRange,
		int	damageMin,
		int	damageMax,
		entity	attackingEnt,
		string	damageDef
	)

Does damage to all entities within a specified radius with a linear falloff.

If a negative damageMax value is supplied, then no collision checks will be performed. So radiusDamage calls will not be obstructed by level or entity geometry.

Parameters

damageCenter	is the location of the center, at which the wave originates.
damageRange	is the radius (in game units) of the wave.
damageMax	is the maximum damage that can be done by this wave.
damageMin	is the minimum amount of damage done, at the very edge.
attackingEnt	is the entity owning up to the damage.
damageDef	is decl containing damage info.
