Backpack Kills

[redrum]

In void() BackpackTouch =
I added code so that if a backpack contains a certain amount of ammo it will explode.
I want the owner of the backpack to get a frag if a player dies in this manner.
I tried adding:
item.classname = "backpack"; in
void() DropBackpack = and adding:
if (targ.deathtype == "backpack")
{
attacker.frags = attacker.frags + 1;
return;
}
in
void() ClientObituary =
but it didn't work?

Assuming you're having the backpack do the damage right, all you should need to do is put something like this:

Code: Select all

item.owner = self;

In void() DropBackpack.

that will also make the person who dropped the backpack unable to pick it up

So how do I accomplish this?

[Dr. Shadowborg]

Whoops, sorry about that.

Do this instead then:

Code: Select all

item.enemy = self;

In DropBackpack()

Then in when you call T_Damage or T_RadiusDamage in your touch function, just set the attacker variable to self.enemy. For example:

Code: Select all

T_Damage(other, self, self.enemy, damage);

Or in the case of T_RadiusDamage

Code: Select all

T_RadiusDamage(self, self.enemy, damage, world);

Also, don't forget to put in some kind of delay before it can be picked up if you intend to make it so that the player can drop these while still alive and solid, because if you don't, YOU could blow up instead.
