onPlayerKilled

[Cubical]

I posted in the gserver update thread about this but I figured it would be more useful to make a thread that people can refer to for future reference.

I cannot seem to get onPlayerKilled to work at all

PHP Code:

function onPlayerKilled(){
  echo(params[0] SPC params[1]);
} 


That is server side and I have never attempted to use onPlayerKilled before but I assume that is how it works. I already know the parameters but I couldn't seem to get it to call the event when a player gets killed. Any ideas on what's wrong?

Are you trying it on a "default" Classic-Style server? If you're trying to do it on Era, I doubt it will work. Era has a custom HP system, so I may or may not be wrong but if I remember right, it also has a custom death system and would not be affected by Classic-Style "PlayerKilled" function.

Nope, I'm aware it wont work on era. I have been trying to use it on testbed.

Still cannot get this to work and have no clue why. Apparently Bell has restarted the server so it should be updated and I know I'm not doing anything wrong. Has anyone successfully gotten this to work?

I have not, I made up a clientside detection though

function onPlayerHurt() {  
  if (player.hearts <= 0) {
    this.doDeath();
  }
}

Maybe that'll help for now? :s

I was using it to check who killed whom but I can't seem to get it to work on testbed. Luca said it works on UN so I'm guessing that it is just a matter of updating testbeds gserver. I felt like I had the IQ of a dead squirrel for about 2 days because I couldn't figure it out.

In Stefan's post it seems like he had already updated all the GServers/NPC-Servers and they just required a restart... it would be odd if only Testbed was missed.

Doesn't work on bravo, so I used that alternative :[

Well I've definitely used it on UN. I don't remember for what exactly, but I remember having it sent to my F2 window for a little. I don't have access to that anymore, though.

It's just this second started working on Bravo =] (Noticed alot of spam in RC)

PHP Code:

function onPlayerKilled(vic,kill) {
  findplayer("DustyPorViva").sendrpgmessage(vic SPC "was killed by" SPC kill);
} 


Worked fine for me on Testbed:

Nogross was killed by DustyPorViva

[Cubical]

Yeah, it's fixed now. I guess that testbed just needed a restart.
