[Solved] [TF2] A better way to kill players

luki1412 · **Author**

Is there a better way to kill a player than ForcePlayerSuicide ?
The problem is that because of how tf2 works, it gives a player a kill, even though the player commited suicide, because the player got damaged.

I need to kill a player, not increase the death count and not increase the frags for a random player that dealt damage to him. Any ideas?

The problem is that TF2 is designed to give a kill credit to the last player when a player suicides or is killed by the environment. So, even if you used an alternate method like SDKHooks_TakeDamage, it's probably going to give credit to the last player to do damage.

Not sure what would happen if you damage a player twice from the environment (entity 0) though.

Side note: When using SDKHooks_TakeDamage, setting the damageType to DMG_CRUSH should kill a player even when they're ubered.

Try to respawn the player (it should reset its data) and then kill him with SDKHooks_TakeDamage.

Yes SDKHooks_TakeDamage gave credit to the last player that did damage. I set inflictor and attacker to clientid and used DMG_ACID. Dont think that damage type matters when it comes to giving credit for the kill.

Cant respawn player mid-game. Its for a mod. Besides, its not worth it. Might as well try to change the scoreboard.

PHP Code:


			
SetEntProp(client, Prop_Send, "m_lifeState", 2);

TF2_RespawnPlayer(client);

Im trying to avoid giving someone frags for damaging a player that committed suicide. How is this code supposed to help? I can't respawn someone in the middle of a round. I dont mean that its not possible, I mean that I cant do it.
