Selfkilling and killing polygons

[Szaman]

Hi,

As HomerOfGod asked me to create suggestion thread here:

I think that the killing polygons should deal damage as some "virtual" player (like ID=33 or ID=-1), not as player himself.

It's quite important when you are trying to disable the self-killing in script (shooter = victim) and that results in strange bug - you can walk on killing polygons... :/

Please, change it.

Best regards,
Szaman.

Killing polygons have a set number of damage. You can find the numbers on this forum actually. Search for SwitchClimb for them.

So you are suggesting of using ((victim=shooter) and (damage=XXX)) ?
I think it some kind of work-around... not a real solution

Because selfkill is not the same as touching killing poly

It is the players own id so it will be recognized as a selfkill.
I wouldn't use a low id like 33 and we cannot use -1 as we only have positive values.
One way would be to assign 254 for "you got killed by a poly" and change it so people still see it as a selfkill.

Maybe there is a better solution. I'll have to think about it.

There could also be another script procedure:

Code: [Select]

OnEnvironmentKill(Reason: integer; damage : integer);
which would be called in that situation instead of OnPlayerDamage().
