So in the video Sin came out with today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10OcXY9DjtE

A medic in a competitive match gets headshot and survives.

Now I'm not looking for any explanation for this, but I was wondering what would happen if a medic got headshot in the exact same tick that he had a regen in?

Yes, I once survived a headshot like that too, it's a 1/66 chance logically.

since tf2 is only 66 tick, a headshot and medic regen probably happen in the same tick fairly often. it would be really noticeable if it was possible for the medic to live through it.

also that video is from a lobby:

http://logs.tf/442028

probably just a second medic overhealing the other one before he left spawn because lobby

edit: checked the log cause i'm a nerd, another dude spawns as medic and heals the other

Nᴊɪᴛs: did the medic get overhealed in spawn
Nᴊɪᴛs: ?
Squirrel LFT: eh?
Nᴊɪᴛs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10OcXY9DjtE
Squirrel LFT: nope
Squirrel LFT: the med was shockingly bad though
Nᴊɪᴛs: ok
Nᴊɪᴛs: so he didn't get overhealed in spawn?
Squirrel LFT: not a clue why that happend though
Nᴊɪᴛs: 100% sure?
Squirrel LFT: no overheals
Nᴊɪᴛs: ok thanks buddy

I bet overheal particles around Medic are there for a reason.

PhunkNow I'm not looking for any explanation for this, but I was wondering what would happen if a medic got headshot in the exact same tick that he had a regen in?

He dies either way. It's processed synchronously, if the headshot is registered first, he'll die. If the regen is registered first, he'll regen, and then die from the headshot. I don't know what happens in the video but the medic has overheal particles around him when he gets shot.

But yeah, the overheal particles were there, so... I guess somebody broke the rules.

Looks like the config must have broken, lynd was asking to switch to med the whole game, guess he just got fed up at the end. #aidslobbys

Now I'm not an expert at source engine so take everything I say with a grain of salt.

What I think happened is that the medic was at 145 to 149 health, being ready to regen +6 in the next tick.
Having the +6 added at the exact same tick as the headshot, the server calculated that the medic gained and lost health (starting at for example 147) looking like this:

147 + 6 - 150

Now because the +3 buff was instantly neutral again within the same tick the server didn't remove the minimal overheal that would've been without the headshot.

I suppose it could also be something related to lag compensation but yeah it's my guess.

ExquisiteStoneYes, I once survived a headshot like that too, it's a 1/66 chance logically.

imagine if you got bodyshot while a spy headshot you

150 - 50 = 100
100 + 3 = 103
103 - 102 = 1

you hear a crit noise and you see the sniper and you're alive so you're like "yea i planned that headshot with my regen to survive it ez" and your team thinks you're a god and the other team is like "med's lit"

imagine being a medic main for so long you're actually proud of not dying when someone shoots you

Alfiestop being witty and read the op again

nah read erkston's post again

if med was able to survive lethal damage incurred on the same tick their health regens, it would statistically happen often enough to be noticeable

since I have not seen this happen once in my 7 years of playing this dumb game I can assure you the answer to the OP's question is "the medic would die"

Even if you ignore the fact that erkston's already stated what happened per the logs, you're all overlooking how TF2 works. The medic regenerates health up to a max of 150. Never ever ever has he gone past 150, even for a tick. Sure, a patch could cause this to happen, but it never has. I was a bit miffed the other day when I hit a medic with two rockets in a row and combattext batching showed the damage dealt to be 152, though. How dare he live.

this is one explanation but it doesnt explain why medic had overheal or at least showed a presence of overheal
