I'll see what I can do about those. I remember having issues with the fires from those barrels in the past. Those barrels are the only props I couldn't block from causing friendly-fire.

Maybe you can detect the last one who shot and if possible link it as the fire "owner"

I already tried that. The fire and explosion created by explosive barrels are setup differently from gas cans and propane tanks. Getting their “owners” isn’t as straightforward and easy to track. I’ll keep investigating.

I did some tests and what I have found is that the fire that can't track the attacker on OnTakeDamage is the fire created by the "prop_fuel_barrel_piece"
In my debugs the pos from both entities are always the same, so we can use it as a workaround to detect its "original" attacker.

Spoiler

Example:
!barrel (using the barrel plugin)
OnEntityCreated 59 prop_fuel_barrel
<explode>
OnEntityCreated 61 prop_physics
>>HERE>>OnEntityCreated 294 prop_fuel_barrel_piece
OnEntityCreated 295 info_particle_system
OnEntityCreated 296 inferno (this has the attacker as the owner entity)
OnEntityDestroyed 59 prop_fuel_barrel pos 13413.906250 3025.125000 416.468750
OnEntityCreated 318 entityflame
OnEntityDestroyed 318 entityflame pos 14237.436523 3245.050048 573.540466
OnEntityCreated 59 inferno
OnEntityDestroyed 295 info_particle_system pos 13609.843750 2920.718750 62.625000
>>HERE>>OnEntityDestroyed 294 prop_fuel_barrel_piece pos 13609.843750 2920.718750 62.625000
OnEntityDestroyed 296 inferno | attacker 1 | pos 13413.906250 3025.125244 438.995635
>>HERE>>OnEntityDestroyed 59 inferno pos 13609.843750 2920.718750 62.625000

Maybe this could be released as another plugin as a "FIX" for this kind of behaviour.

The logic could be:

• detect who exploded the barrel
• track the next prop_fuel_barrel_piece and set it to the same attacker
• match the pos with the inferno pos created and set it to the same attacker

This is very helpful. Thank you Marttt.

I'm sorry but is there a version which except fire from all source of fire (Molotov/Gascan/Explosive Barrel) which still can cause damage to teammate ?
Thank you

I already added a link to "Explosive Chains Credit" in the update post, main post, and README.md file. That plugin properly credits players for most damage sources they inflict, so that plugin complements this plugin's purpose. Install that plugin and see how it works for you.

there seems to an exploit where you can bypass the friendly fire plugin by triggering a gascan fire and disconnecting. Kill feed will show "GamerTong incapacitated ...."
