Trying to change SMAW damage...

[nefq89wpenvo]

I've got a script that changes the MSR damage, but when I try changing the weapon name to "smaw_" or "iw5_smaw_mp" nothing changes. Don't really know much of anything about GSC so thought I would try and see if someone was willing to help. Any help is appreciated.

//Damage stuff
Callback_NewPlayerDamage( einflictor, eattacker, idamage, idflags, smeansofdeath, sweapon, vpoint, vdir, shitloc, timeoffset, boneindex ) 
{
	self endon( "disconnect" );
	
	if ( isSubStr(sWeapon, "msr_") )
	{
		switch( sHitLoc )
		{
			case "helmet":
			case "head":
			case "neck":
			case "torso_upper":
			case "torso_lower":
			case "right_arm_upper":
			case "left_arm_upper":
			case "right_arm_lower":
			case "left_arm_lower":
			case "right_hand":
			case "left_hand":
			case "right_leg_upper":
			case "left_leg_upper":
			case "right_leg_lower":
			case "left_leg_lower":
			case "right_foot":
			case "left_foot":

			iDamage = 100000; // Just making sure. ;)
			break;

			case "gun": // Assuming this is the player's gun?
			iDamage = 0;
			break;
		}
	}
	
	[[level.playerDamageOG]]( einflictor, eattacker, idamage, idflags, smeansofdeath, sweapon, vpoint, vdir, shitloc, timeoffset, boneindex );
}

First, unless you need it for specific reasons the switch on sHitLoc is useless
Second, a SMAW won't always hit the player directly
Third you should debug (print) the values you're using and you'll find the answer yourself
Simply add this in your if and you will see useful/relevant values and understand why something isn't working easily

print(idamage);
print(sweapon);
print(smeansofdeath):

Also don't randomly try to guess weapon names, debug them like mentioned above

This might give you an idea
https://github.com/Resxt/Plutonium-IW5-Scripts/blob/main/small_scripts/disable_damages.gsc

I simply added this to modify SMAW's damages. To modify launchers damage in general you would use sMeansOfDeath instead probably. Here I also check if the attacker isn't the victim too so that you can still damage yourself

if (isDefined(eAttacker.guid) && isDefined(self.guid))
{
    if (eAttacker.guid == self.guid)
    {
        if (sWeapon == "iw5_smaw_mp")
        {
            iDamage = 0;
        }
    }
}
