Text Message display after death

[sirkilroy]

I have my script working for drowning a player when he falls into the ocean.
But when the player dies it just sends
"Player" blew up!!!
I would like to say something else!!, BUT HOW do you do that?

Here is what I have setup

I have it set up as follows
trigger_multiple (around the area I want to kill)
delay/20
targetname/hurtme
setthread/pain
wait/1

then the script added to the scr file (after the 'level waittill spawn')

pain:
$hurtme volumedamage 15
end

i dont know if this will work in your case, but you can try setting a meansofdeath. for example:

$hurtme meansofdeath crush

actually, im wrong you'd have to give numerical values for it... here they are:

Code: Select all

// Means of death values:
// 0	MOD_NONE,
// 1	MOD_SUICIDE,
// 2	MOD_CRUSH,
// 3	MOD_CRUSH_EVERY_FRAME,
// 4	MOD_TELEFRAG,
// 5	MOD_LAVA,
// 6	MOD_SLIME,
// 7	MOD_FALLING,
// 8	MOD_LAST_SELF_INFLICTED,
// 9	MOD_EXPLOSION,
// 10	MOD_EXPLODEWALL,
// 11	MOD_ELECTRIC,
// 12	MOD_ELECTRICWATER,
// 13	MOD_THROWNOBJECT,
// 14	MOD_BEAM,
// 15	MOD_ROCKET,
// 16	MOD_IMPACT,
// 17	MOD_BULLET,
// 18	MOD_FAST_BULLET,
// 19	MOD_VEHICLE,
// 20	MOD_FIRE,
// 21	MOD_FLASHBANG,
// 22	MOD_ON_FIRE,
// 23	MOD_GIB,
// 24	MOD_IMPALE,
