Is it possible to rename a weapon entity? So if I give the player a "weapon_knife", but rename it "weapon_blade" then when a player is killed with the renamed weapon_knife then player_death will fire with "weapon_blade" as the weapon?


I already know how to hook player_death and change it myself, I'm just wondering if theres a way to do what I'm asking. I know of work-arounds.

Not sure with regular weapons.

This works though:
I spawned a skull, and did

PHP Code:

DispatchKeyValue(ent, "classname", "weapon_skull"); 


and when the skull explodes, it is correctly registered as a 'weapon_skull' in stats when it kills a player.

Thanks strontiumdog, I will give that a try. Seems so obvious I should have thought of that. Looks promising.

i'm not sure but it may cause issues, i used the same method for my homing missile plugin and 1 person said his server crashed every time the kill icon was supposed to be displayed so i removed it. also if there is no icon for the weapon used you just get the skull and crossbones.

It might not be possible to rename it:

I want the skull and crossbones so that isn't a problem. Hopefully it doesn't crash though.
