^~^~^ Script Error: array index 1022 out of range

Any idea what that's about? I was assuming local.target was the player who took damage?

Got it. Use local.entity... not local.target

$player is just an array of player entities, not the array of all entities (which is the array where entnum/clientnum corresponds with the index).
Use the new getentity command to query that array instead.

In this case, you wouldn't be needing it as local.entity is the entity being shot at. If it is a player, it will be the player entity you need.
Beware that the damage event is raised for all entities so the local.entity (or local.inflictor etc.. for that matter) may not necessarily be players.

Exactly, it can be a breakable window for example, which has it's own health etc.
