How to 'kill' a player when they're already dead -TTT-

[mortuus]

Is there a way to kill someone or maybe reset the player in TTT after they've died? Reason is, the player is dead due to an ongoing effect and once they die they keep that effect. It doesn't stop till they suicide, so how can I achieve this? ply:Kill() doesn't work.

 local function PoisonHit()
                timer.Create('zeus_poison', 1, 0, function()
                                for k, ply in pairs(player.GetAll()) do
                                        -- Check if target is already poisoned
                                        if ply:IsPoisoned() then
                                                -- Poisoned target is dead.
                                                if ply:Health() <= 0 then
                                                        ply:ClearPoisonSounds()
                                                        -- make sure target is dead
                                                        ply:Kill()
                                                end
                                               
                                                ply:PoisonHit(2)
                                        end
                                end
                end)
        end
        hook.Add("Initialize", "zeus.PoisonHit", PoisonHit)

Use PlayerDeath hook to clear the effect?
Clear the effect in IsPoisoned or in PoisonHit when then the player is dead?

[mortuus]

I think that did it thanks, I doubt i made it simple but I ended up with this

local function RemovePoison()
				for k, ply in pairs(player.GetAll()) do
						ply:ClearPoisonHit()
						ply:ClearPoisonSounds()
					end
				end
		hook.Add("PlayerDeath", "zeus.RemovePoison", RemovePoison)

That would remove the poison from all players when one dies, and the syntax is wrong - you forgot an "end" before hook.Add

Instead of removing it from all players, when the player is poisoned add that players steamid/uniqueid to a table and then check if any players id in the table is dead and if they are then remove the effect. Also to freakyy unless im blind or just stupid it looks fine

also dont forget to remove them once they are dead

It is fine, the tabbing is just fucked up

Is it even possible to check if a player is dead from a steamID?

Yes.

[QUOTE=mortuus;44252526]Is it even possible to check if a player is dead from a steamID?[/QUOTE]

Its not efficient, you will have to loop through the whole player table to find the correct player which the steamid is assigned to. You should set the entity of the player instead, such as:

[lua]local deadplayers = {}

function KillPlayer( Player )
deadplayers[ Player ] = true
// or
table.insert( deadplayers, Player )
end

// and use
if deadplayers[ Player ] then

// or
if table.HasValue( deadplayers, Player ) then[/lua]
