Determine which player it hit by SWEP

[Salax]

Basically, I need a function which returns which player was hit.

...That's it. Tell me if I didn't explain it well enough.

That tells me which part was hit, not which player. I'm basically creating a gun which lists players who have been shot (as part of a gamemode I'm making).

Use the callback in FireBullets.

[lua]bullet.Callback = function( att, tr, dmg )
if tr.Entity:IsValid() then
-- tr.Entity is the player hit
end
end[/lua]

[amkoc]

function TracePlayer()
	trace = util.GetPlayerTrace( self.Entity:GetOwner())
	traceRes=util.TraceLine(trace)
	if traceRes.Entity:IsValid() and traceRes.Entity:IsPlayer()
		return traceRes.Entity
	end
end

This or

[lua]
hook.Add("EntityTakeDamage", "SomeBitchGotHit", function(ent, inflictor, attacker, amount )
if ent:IsPlayer() and ent:Alive() then
--ent is your hit player
end
end)[/lua]

You forgot the hook's unique name argument. :colbert:
