When Ham_killed is called, and you're executing the function that you hooked to that. what does that shouldgib var mean?

/** * Description: Normally called whenever an entity dies. * Forward params: function(this, idattacker, shouldgib) * Return type: None. * Execute params: ExecuteHam(Ham_Killed, this, idattacker, shouldgib); */ Ham_Killed,

and, also, what's the easiest way to determine the weapon in which a player was killed with?

not sure about the first one , but the second one ... get the attackers weapon

Simply getting the attacker's weapon will return the weapon they are carrying. Quite often people will die by nade, while the attacker is holding a rifle.

Later in my search i found CSX module which includes client_death, returning the weaponID in which the victim was killed with. But is there a more popular module that has this functionality? I really hate using so many different headerfiles when i can use just one or two.

That's a bad reason. Use what works. Have you looked at inflictor? I can't remember if it will give what you need.

If you don't need to modify the killed function then just use DeathMsg and you can get the weapon from the args.

Oh, can you? arg[3] i assume? 1 is killer, 2 is victim. yes?

shouldgiv.
KILLER -> RPG/Mp5 Grender -> Boom -> Victim -> blood, meat -> shouldgib=1

// when calling KILLED(), a value that governs gib behavior is expected to be 
// one of these three values
#define GIB_NORMAL			0// gib if entity was overkilled
#define GIB_NEVER			1// never gib, no matter how much death damage is done ( freezing, etc )
#define GIB_ALWAYS			2// always gib ( Houndeye Shock, Barnacle Bite )

void CBasePlayer::Killed( entvars_t *pevAttacker, int iGib )
// [ ... ]
	if ( ( pev->health < -40 && iGib != GIB_NEVER ) || iGib == GIB_ALWAYS )
	{
		pev->solid			= SOLID_NOT;
		GibMonster();	// This clears pev->model
		pev->effects |= EF_NODRAW;
		return;
	}
