[Johxz]

Hello!

someone can give a hand here :) a little explanation how this works? I don't found what %sourceObject it means

ShapeBase::damage

PlayerData::damage

Thanks!!

function WeaponImage::onFire( %this, %obj, %slot )
{
    %p = new Projectile()
    {
        dataBlock = ProjectileData;
        sourceObject = %obj;
        sourceSlot = %slot;
        sourceClass = %obj.getClassName();
    };
}
 
function ProjectileData::onCollision( %data, %proj, %col, %fade, %pos%normal )
{
    %col.damage( %proj, %pos, %dmg, %data.damageType );
}
 
function PlayerData::damage( %this, %obj, %sourceObject, %position, %damage, %damageType )
{
    %shooter = %sourceObject.sourceObject;
    if( %shooter.team $= %obj.team ) echo( "FRIENDLY FIRE"  );
}

Yeah, as the code that damik posted says, it's the player object that the damage originated from. When the weapon is fired the player id is set on the projectile. When the target takes damage it asks the projectile who it belongs to so the right person gets credit for the kill (if it kills them).
