Well that's how the other file did it, but it had a while loop as well,
adding that fixed it but I dont think ill get the wanted effect through
that anyway!
Think I finally got it though, trying something like this:
if ( inputInfo.GetDamageType() == DMG_WIND )
VelocityPunch( Vector( 1000, 1000, 0 ) );
in the function of OnTakeDamage in hl2mp_player.cpp
buuut, I cant normally add a new damage type, and the way valve says to
do it is totally unclear and there's no tutorial on it.. anyone know how
to add new damage types?
other then that I may know a better way I just hope it won't need too
many changes heh.
DMG_ would be the easiest way too go I think if anyone knows how... but
not the best probably.
