Finding Killer

[sssssssssss]

How do you check to see if the players kills increased? That would be sufficient for what Im doing possibly.

Also, stefan, adding an even for that would probably be very very helpful to the entire graal community.

It'd be better to pass who has last hit the player(though I'm not objecting to passing also who last killed the player).

I would personally think if you were looking for who killed a player, better to pass through who killed it, rather than checking the hit each time to see if the player died.

But sometimes it'd be nice to check who hit a player. Therefor, you can kill two birds with one stone by checking when the player dies who last killed them(which undoubtfully would be the last player who hit them). Like I said though, I wouldn't be against both. Default needs more support like this.

It's not hard to detect who you were killed by if your bow and bomb (unless you use putbomb) have custom scripts for compatibility with gmaps.

I'd imagine if you had a function to find the closest player with the sword animation within range when you the player dies, that would pretty much pinpoint the killer, but it's not a perfect detection method and could produce false positives.

I.e:

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onPlayerDies() {
  // Find closest player with sword animation
  // Other Script..
}

Does onWasH!t() return any useful parameters?
Edit: WOW, censorship FTL

For playerhurt, does this still apply in gs2?

when the player is hurt then you can detect that in
scripts by doing if (playerhurt) ...
you can read the variable playerhurtpower to get
the amount of power that the player lost


new npc script variables playerhurtdx and playerhurtdy when the
player is hurt (otherwise they are 0)

Because if so, you could use a simple code in the weapon every single player has that reads if the player gets hurt and player.hearts==0, or use onPlayerDies(), then go to a

findnearestplayer(float1, float2)

since the person who hurt the player SHOULD be closest.

Would that work? Am I correct? Or is my logic wrong?

What if you get killed over range or if you are grouped by several players? (:

Ok, well again I ask if anyone knows how to see if the players kils increase? Wouldn't even know what variable to use for that.

player.kills

you could shove it in a timeout in the clientside and send a triggeraction to the server whenever it increases, but it seems messy and likely to fail to me.

onPlayerDies() is only clientside correct? or can it be serverside?
