Kill and Death Tracking

**[cB]SplatterGuts** · January 13th, 2016, 11:11 PM

I'm tossing around the idea of a new gametype with one of my clan members right now. I'm curious however before we begin, is there a way that you can keep track of the players that have been killed by another player?

SplatterGuts is killed by Hanny
SplatterGuts is frozen
Uber is killed by Hanny
Uber is frozen
Hanny is killed by Scorpion
Hanny is frozen
SplatterGuts is thawed
Uber is thawed

Once you're shot, you're frozen, and you don't get thawed until the person who killed you is killed. Kind of like a dodgeball gametype.

Doable?

I believe so... use the reborn kill event. Create an array using player index number as the key and the value stored in the array would be the id of the player that killed player.

I would think so. Check the Freezetag mod for everything necessary to make player freeze and wait to respawn etc.

But instead of letting it have a thaw fuction, have it watch for the variable for the killer, say "level.killer.entnum" or whatever. You'll need to use an event handler for that, Purple made one. You could also take one from say, the Killstreak mod.

Register the kills, and assign the level.killer variable to the local.attacker in the kill handler. Then however they thaw in Freezetag apply when the killer is killed. Maybe??

Anyone else know? I think it's doable, assuming it's reborn anyway.

Edit: lmao, dammit. All that typing on my phone and own3mall swings in first!

Very doable,

Few hints:

As mentioned above, take a look at how the player is frozen using ftag, you only have to modify the ftag mod a tiny bit to disable the stand-near-to-unfreeze and you can turn off the melt ray via ftag settings.

you can unfreeze a player via calling the following thread, with local.player being the player to unfreeze
thread global/libmef/ft.scr::auto_melt 1 local.player

For keeping track of killers , take a look at Elgans Elgbot Mod, which does that, or similar to what you are looking for. it tracks assists kills aswell, just for your reference. But it uses an array of sorts to keep track of them all.

Good luck, and if you need help on particular problems, feel free to ask us here :P
