Decide killing unit?

[Edy]

I have an area that periodicaly selects and kills units below 10 flying height. Whenever it does it says:
>Blank< has killed WorldEdit,
My question: Can you change this somehow to :
>A player that last damaged a unit< has killed WorldEdit.

+Rep and credit.

you can possibly trigger a unit owned by the player u want to deal a ridiculous amount of damage to the unit u want to be killed making it out to be that player killed the unit

i dont believe there is a way to detect a unit killed by

• Unit - Kill (x unit)

to be as if a player killed it

I thought of that, adding player 7 owned unit that would do that - but then credits go to player 7 - not to per say - player 1 who knocked him back, or damaged him in the last 5 seconds...

use a dummy unit for each corresponding player

Yea but how can I determine who was the last owner that did damage to that unit that is about to get executed

 

[millzy]

ull have to give me more info/post your triggers

 

[Edy]

• Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in Region 008 <gen> matching ((Current flying height of (Matching unit)) Less than 10.00)) and do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Unit - Kill (Picked unit)

Currently this. Almost the only source of damage is a skillshot.
Myb adding it to a unit group or something while triggering with damage engine...

 

[millzy]

well with that i dont see where any player has interacted with the unit to give the right player the kill. whats happening with the units flying height?

You can jump over said area, it checks periodicaly per 0.02.
There is a skill shot that damages and runs a knockback so if a player knocksback a unit into that region he is'nt credited..

 

[Pyrogasm]

Simplest way would be to, when to knockback happens, store the knocking-back player in a player array or hashtable. Then when a unit dies to the area check if that variable/hashtable entry has a player stored in it; if yes credit that player instead of nobody.

However, something like these assist systems may also suit your needs:
Esdo's Gold Award and K-D-A system v1.2a
Assistance System v1.1
[Pending Rewrite] [Snippet] GetKiller

 

[Edy]

Any chance i could get an example of the variable solution. I've checked out the assist system, too much for me to handle for just a check for death...

 

[Pyrogasm]

Assuming players have 1 hero each you can make an MPI solution.

• -------- in knockback trigger --------
• Set KnockingPlayer[Player number of (Owner of KnockedBackUnit)] = (Owner of KnockingUnit)
• -------- in knockback end trigger or after waiting some time from the knockback end --------
• Set KnockingPlayer[Player number of (Owner of KnockedBackUnit)] = (No player)
• -------- in death trigger --------
• If (All conditions are true) then do (Then actions) else do (Else Actions)
  • If - Conditions
    • KnockingPlayer[Player number of (Owner of Triggering Unit)] not equal to (No Player)
  • Then - Actions
    • Set CreditPlayer = KnockingPlayer[Player number of (Owner of Triggering Unit)]
    • -------- display player kill message --------
  • Else - Actions
    • -------- display suicide or environment death message --------

Great, thanks a bunch )

With Lua one could replace the kill unit function with a proxy which instead deals instant death damage from a known/safe source.

 

[Pyrogasm]

@Dr Super Good the OPs problem actually wouldn’t be solved by that. The OP would still need to know what player to have cause the damage, and that information only comes from the knockback.

And what if the person just randomly flew there instead of being pushed?

 

[Pyrogasm]

That's why I specified they needed to clear the player variable either when the knockback ends or after a predetermined time. If the variable is null then they suicided; I see no other way to determine it.

Pyrogasm had already covered all areas :]
