getting what type of weapon damaged a player

[Darksaber2213]

I tried searching but nothing came up. Here is the code

Code: [Select]

package ninjad
{
function Armor::onDamage(%client,%killer,%type)
{
if(something pertaining to the weapon damage type is this = nSwordProjectile)
{
                //do other stuff
}
}
};

activatePackage(ninjad);
How do

Probably use this instead.

package YourPackage
{
   function ProjectileData::damage(%this,%obj,%col,%fade,%pos,%normal)
   {
      Parent::damage(%this,%obj,%col,%fade,%pos,%normal); //Always include the parent if it already exists
      if(%this == nameToID(swordProjectile)) //Make sure the projectile data is the same as the one being checked, using ID's
      {
         //Stuff here
      }
   }
};
activatePackage(YourPackage);

      {
         //Stuff here
      }
   }
};
activatePackage(YourPackage);

I was trying to play a sound to everyone and message them when someone is killed by a certain weapon. Will this work for that purpose?

Yes.
package YourPackage
{
   function ProjectileData::damage(%this,%obj,%col,%fade,%pos,%normal)
   {
      Parent::damage(%this,%obj,%col,%fade,%pos,%normal); //Always include the parent if it already exists
      if(%this == nameToID(swordProjectile)) //Make sure the projectile data is the same as the one being checked, using ID's
      {
         %obj.customSound = SoundDatablock;
         %obj.lastWeapon = %this.uiName;
      }
   }
};
activatePackage(YourPackage);

Then using something like this:

function gameConnection::onDeath(%client,%obj,%killer,%type,%location)
   {
      serverPlay2D(%obj.customSound);
      messageAll(%client @ "was killed by " @ %obj.lastWeapon);
      parent::onDeath(%client,%obj,%killer,%type,%location);
   }


Make sure this is in a package too.

so the completed one looks like this?

Code: [Select]

package ninjad
{
   function ProjectileData::damage(%this,%obj,%col,%fade,%pos,%normal)
   {
      Parent::damage(%this,%obj,%col,%fade,%pos,%normal); //Always include the parent if it already exists
      if(%this == nameToID(nSwordProjectile)) //Make sure the projectile data is the same as the one being checked, using ID's
      {
         %obj.customSound = nDeathSound;
         %obj.lastWeapon = %this.uiName;
      }
   }

function gameConnection::onDeath(%client,%obj,%killer,%type,%location)
   {
      serverPlay2D(%obj.customSound);
      messageAll(%client @ "was killed by " @ %obj.lastWeapon);
      parent::onDeath(%client,%obj,%killer,%type,%location);
   }
   
};
activatePackage(ninjad);

      {
         %obj.customSound = nDeathSound;
         %obj.lastWeapon = %this.uiName;
      }
   }

function gameConnection::onDeath(%client,%obj,%killer,%type,%location)
   {
      serverPlay2D(%obj.customSound);
      messageAll(%client @ "was killed by " @ %obj.lastWeapon);
      parent::onDeath(%client,%obj,%killer,%type,%location);
   }
   
};
activatePackage(ninjad);

Correct. I have found a few issues, but the mod will work fine, just will have a little of console errors, because what if the lastWeapon or customSound doesn't exist? I will fix this tomorrow. I have to go to bed.

Okay, back.

Here should be a better code.

package YourPackage
{
   function YourProjectileDatablock::damage(%this,%obj,%col,%fade,%pos,%normal)
   {
      %obj.customSound = SoundDatablock;
      %obj.lastWeapon = %this.uiName;
   }

   function gameConnection::onDeath(%client,%obj,%killer,%type,%location)
   {
      if(isObject(%obj.customSound)) //Does it exist?
         serverPlay2D(%obj.customSound);
      if(%obj.lastWeapon !$= "") //Is it not blank?
         messageAll(%client @ "was killed by " @ %obj.lastWeapon);
      Parent::onDeath(%client,%obj,%killer,%type,%location);
   }
};
activatePackage(YourPackage);

If your weapon uses a particular projectileData, then you can just swap out the projectileData:: part with the name of your projectile Datablock. This way it doesn't even need to be in a package.

function yourProjectileDatablock::damage(%this,%obj,%col,%fade,%pos,%normal)

Basically works the same way, but it's only called when that particular projectile deals damage, which removes the need for an if statement checking the type of projectile.

I was thinking of this way too, just wasn't sure if the args are the same, but I guess they are.

I will just edit my code. Thanks Pecon.
