Prototype[edit]
BZF_API bool bz_shotHasMetaData (int fromPlayer, int shotID , const char* name);
Parameters[edit]
name | type | value desription |
---|---|---|
fromPlayer | int | the player who owns the shot, BZ_SERVER for world weapons |
shotID | int | the local ID of the shot for the specified player |
name | const char* | the name of the MetaData value to check |
Description[edit]
This API function will return true if the specified shot exists and has data stored under the specified name.
Notes[edit]
Shot MetaData is useful for plug-ins that need to fake extra player shots with server based world weapons. Using MetaData a plug-in can store player or score information with the shot to be used later when the shot hits a target or expires. Shot MetaData is server side only and is unique to each shot fired. Multiple shots with the same ID over time will not contain the same data.
