Finding Killer

[sssssssssss]

Is there a way to find, if a player dies, who killed the player?

[Crow]

No. You will have to code something yourself.

[Codein]

Would be helpful if there was a reference to the object of the PKer passed or something D:

[Gambet]

Use triggerAction() to send the account information of the player hurting another player to the player getting hurt then whenever that player dies, simply read the account sent for the person that last hit him to read who he was killed by.

If you're using default? Not really. If you're persistent, you can add a weapon that duplicates default HD without the actual HD, and simply use it to detect who is hitting you.

I was wondering this myself when I was making a Classic-Mode for Zodiac CTF.

Stefan should/could add an event on the serverside, I'd imagine this wouldn't be that hard because the server already handles the adding of player.kills + player.deaths.

function onPlayerKilled(killer_obj) { }

I found this, and figured I could use this idea except instead of using onweaponfired, use onkeydown, keypress = "s". Although, if someone wouldnt mind helping sort through this to get to just the part that has to deal with the radius of the player, and marking who the player killed... xD

Don't check if the player presses the 's' key, use the keydown() value just in case the player alters their default control configuration (via the F3 menu).


Also, what I said a few posts above still holds merit. Send a triggerAction() when the player swings their sword and have whoever they hit catch the action and work from there.

I would rather use onKeyPressed and compare the keyname with the keyname(#) function, then running a constant timeout checking for keydown(#).

Good:

PHP Code:

function onKeyPressed(keyname, keycode)
{
  // keyname(6) checks if the Grab button is pressed, default A on Qwerty.
  if (keyname == keyname(6).lower()) {
    // stuff
  }
} 


Bad:

PHP Code:

function onCreated()
  setTimer(.05);

function onTimeOut()
{
  // keydown(6) checks if the Grab button is pressed, default A on Qwerty.
  if (keydown(6)) {
    // stuff
  }
  setTimer(.05);
}

I figure that:

PHP Code:

function onKeyPressed() {
  if (keydown(6)) {

  }
} 


Would suffice as well.

I don't know why, but I prefer:

PHP Code:

function GraalControl.onKeyDown() {
  if (keydown(6)) {
    ...
  }
}

Thats the problem im having, dont know how to find who hit/killed the player. Have no idea where to even start.

Theoretically we could add an event for it, something like onPlayerKilled or so. Right now the only way to detect would be to check if the kills increased, although that doesn't tell you who killed who.

Actually, emulating the default hit detection works as well. It won't replace the default systems though, it'll be there just to check if you hit a player, and if so, set some kind of last attacker flag on him.
