Take damage to player death smoke

[Lunacy_1984]

Trying to change my script that Came from someone else from activating on "Take Damage" to "player death". I am very much new to this scripting.
For Half life 2 Deathmatch
The intended effect makes a smoke cloud when killed by an RPG. I want it for an example to rewrite some other things.

Syntax: Select all

# ../explosive/explosive_rpg.py

from entities import TakeDamageInfo
from entities.entity import Entity
from entities.hooks import EntityCondition, EntityPreHook
from memory import make_object
from players.entity import Player
from entities.entity import Entity
from weapons.manager import weapon_manager


DAMAGE_TRIGGERS = [
    'rpg_missile',
]


@EntityPreHook(EntityCondition.is_player, 'on_take_damage')
def _pre_take_damage(stack_data):

    
    victim = make_object(Entity, stack_data[0])
    if not victim.is_player():
        return

    info = make_object(TakeDamageInfo, stack_data[1])

    try:
        weapon_index = info.weapon
        weapon = Entity(weapon_index).classname
    except:
        return
    try:
        if weapon in DAMAGE_TRIGGERS:
            fragcloud(Player(victim.index))
    except AttributeError:
        pass

def fragcloud(victim):
    entity = make_object(Entity, victim.give_named_item('env_ar2explosion'))
    entity.set_key_value_string('material', 'smoke/smokeandfire-11-7a.vmt')
    entity.call_input('Explode')
    entity.delay(8, entity.remove)

You want this code to be changed to player_death event?

In that case here you go:

Syntax: Select all

from events import Event
from entities.entity import Entity
from memory import make_object
from players.entity import Player


KILL_TRIGGERS = [
    'rpg_missile',
]


@Event('player_death')
def player_death(args):
    if args.get_string('weapon') in KILL_TRIGGERS:
        victim = Player.from_userid(args['userid'])
        entity = make_object(Entity, victim.give_named_item('env_ar2explosion'))
        entity.set_key_value_string('material', 'smoke/smokeandfire-11-7a.vmt')
        entity.call_input('Explode')
        entity.delay(8, entity.remove)

Thankyou for the help. I am going to get this to work for the combine ball smoke on Brand New for 1979 also

The code i send, it have option for adding weapons to triggered it for example(untested):

Syntax: Select all

KILL_TRIGGERS = [
    'rpg_missile', '357',
]

It now should register effect for rpg_missile and 357 weapon kills

I have three different test scripts that I use the original take damage for Grenade, SMG grenade, and slam makes black smoke. Player death version for RPG only makes a smoke that has fire mixed into the texture. Finally the last one again needing player death to work is the Combine ball that makes a blue and white smoke. The main goal is to build it all into one script.
