Lua Help - "Killed with..."

[nrich588]

I am trying to change some gamemode lua so that when you read a body, instead of seeing
"Was killed by an M16" it would say "Killed with 9mm Ammo". I have found the variable(s) that I would need to meddle with.

-- init a heap of data we'll be sending
   local nick  = CORPSE.GetPlayerNick(rag)
   local traitor = (rag.was_role == ROLE_TRAITOR)
   local role  = rag.was_role
   local eq    = rag.equipment or EQUIP_NONE
   local c4    = rag.bomb_wire or -1
   local dmg   = rag.dmgtype or DMG_GENERIC
   local wep   = rag.dmgwep or ""
   local words = rag.last_words or ""
   local hshot = rag.was_headshot or false
   local dtime = rag.time or 0

found in /terrortown/gamemode/corpse.lua

BKU recommended I change it with a else/if statement instead of changing/creating a new variable to hold info. Anyone that could help me out with this problem I would greatly appreciate.

I recommended using if/else to convert the weapon to an ammo type on the client in cl_search.lua, because it's easier than the proper method. The proper method would be to send a gun's ammo name instead of the weapon name in corpse.lua and then display it properly in cl_search.lua, which requires more work and skill.

Would this be it?

if wname="Shotgun"
local wname = wep and LANG.TryTranslation(ammo.PrintName)
end

I think you forgot a 'then' in there.

Sorry, I'm used to JavaScript where it would be
if (wname="Shotgun") {
vashahdfhadfji;
}
