I've been trying to make a button which responds only to being damaged by a melee weapon for so long with no success whatsoever. However I edit the damage filter it just doesn't work. Neither for a melee hit or explosion damage or any other type that I tested.

Is there something I'm missing?

Instead of using: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Filter_damage_type

Use: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Filter_tf_damaged_by_weapon_in_slot

I haven't used filter_tf_damaged_by_weapon_in_slot so I don't know if it will work, but it exists so..

Wow, didn't know such thing existed. If it works it's gonna help me out a ton. Thank you very much!

EDIT: Yup, works like charm!

Isn't that one of the entities used to make tr_target work?

Well **** me that's a useful filter. Saves having to muck around with math and timers to stop people shooting multiple buttons.
