You were killed by_____

[Vegi]

Ok, this is just a basic suggestion. i looked on the console commands and i didnt see something that does this. I think it should show who you were killed by when you die. it already does on the server i play on usually, but on a lot of other ones, it doesnt. basically just it says you were killed by *name here*. He was a *traitor/detective/innocent*. much easier to figure out if you were rdmed.

Really? a Admin can do ttt_print_damagelog And its all there.
Or better yet wait till end of round and go to the Round report Its not rocket science People.

Heh I like the idea, the text would appear in the center of the screen with the classic "Law & Order" sound effect (DOINK DOINK).

Here's the sound <.<

local function checkteam(pl)
   if pl:IsActiveTraitor() then
       return "TRAITOR"
   else
       return "INNOCENT"
   end
end

function whokilled(pl,dmg,kl,x)
   pl:SendLua("print('You were killed by '..kl:Name()..'['..checkteam(kl)..']'"))
end

hook.Add( "PlayerDeath", "TTTDeath", whokilled)

someone asked for some help on this @ fp so posted here

I can't see any immediate problems with this.
Also, nice hook.

other than it makes a lua error. Look at the quotes.

Consider ply:GetRoleString()

Wow, lua doesn't look that hard. Maybe because I just learned Python.

(lua/autorun/server/filename.lua)Serverside:

hook.Add("PlayerDeath", "Who Killed You", function(vic, infl, att)
   if (att:IsPlayer() && vic:IsPlayer()) then
      vic:PrintMessage(HUD_PRINTTALK, "You were killed by "..att:Nick().." ["..att:GetRoleString().."!]")
   end
end)

hook.Add("PlayerDeath", "Who You Killed", function(vic, infl, att)
   if (att:IsPlayer() && vic:IsPlayer()) then
      att:PrintMessage(HUD_PRINTTALK, "You killed "..vic:Nick().." ["..vic:GetRoleString().."]")
   end
end)

This is already on my server(CyberGmod.net TTT server).

Thanks to BKU for helping me with a few GModdish issues.(Failing if i specify the code outside the hook, aka, calling a function on death, so i had to put it inside a hook, silly, i know, but it worked..)

I was trying something with umsg's for chat coloring, but i don't think that its needed that much.

Basically, this will tell you who killed you, when you die and what role they were. It also tells the killer the name of the person they killed. You don't really need that, but you can have it as an extra if you want it. If not, remove the second hook.
