Hey everyone,

I need to do something tricky, i want to send fake death messages, but not have the player show up as dead in the scoreboard.



I'm using the DeathMsg event.

PHP Code:

message_begin(MSG_BROADCAST, get_user_msgid("DeathMsg"), {0,0,0}, 0);
write_byte(killer);
write_byte(victim);
write_byte(headshot);
write_string(weapon);
message_end(); 


But i need to prevent it from showing the victim as DEAD in the scoreboard. Any ideas? Any alternative methods?

I'm sure DeathMsg doesn't display the player as DEAD in the scoreboard?
Anyway, to alter the scoreboard status you can send ScoreAttrib message.

Solved it, i used an extra ScoreAttrib message

PHP Code:

message_begin( MSG_BROADCAST, get_user_msgid("ScoreAttrib"),{0,0,0},0) 
write_byte(victim) 
write_byte(0) 
message_end()
