And, then, of course, have die() check 'if (killer)' before it tried to
use it. :)
if (killer) {
InfoMessage(INFO_DEATH, "%s has died at the hands of %s.", GET_NAME(vict),
GET_NAME(killer));
GET_DEATHS(vict, (bool)IS_NPC(kiler))++;
GET_KILLS(killer,(bool)IS_NPC(vict))++;
}
Anyway, that's just some demo code that would, ideally, send an INFO
message to the entire game; then increase the death and kill counters
for the victim and killer (respectively). In other words, it's non-stock
stuff I just created off the top of my head; but it seems that stuff like
this is generally what the "killer" is added to die() for...
