Get "previous player health" on player_hurt event

[redismx]

I'm trying to calculate the ADR (average damage per round), and unfortunately, I couldn't find a way to get the health the player had before the damage was done.

The reason why I need it is that the damage done calculation needs to be capped on the remaining health that the player had, i.e if a player has 27 HP and received an AK-47 headshot, the event.dmg_health will be over 100, and I should sum only 27 instead of 100.

I tried to do this:

    const victim = demoFile.entities.getByUserId(event.userid);
    
    const preDamageHealth = victim.health;
    let damageDone = event.dmg_health;
    const postDamageHealth = event.health;

But the victim.health at this point is already updated, i.e if the player was killed, it's already 0.

You can do this by keeping track of every player's last health value when it changes (listen on the entities change event). Let me know if you need a hand with the code.

With that said, are you sure you don't want to track dmg_health? If you have 1hp and I headshot you, it feels wrong to track that as a 1hp hit.

I ended up doing exactly what you suggested right after posting this, tracking the health events, although I did it using the player_hurt event. Thanks for offering a hand with the code, I really appreciate your commitment with this project!

As for the calculation, this is what Valve uses and tournament organizers too for calculating ADR. I wanted to do this manually instead of relying on the round_end -> player.entities[i].damage_dealt (something like that, forgot know the variable name), because a player can disconnect and I didn't want to lose track of its damage—and, for curiosity, I compared the value I calculated manually and this one from the player.entities, and they're the same!

hello! would be grateful if you can help me with the code for the same question.
