Damage info (getting attackers/other things)

[I am not spy]

I'm experimenting with classes in Fretta right now and am having some trouble getting some info from the, uh, damage.

The EntityTakeDamage function only activates on taking damage, and I can't seem to get who is attacking. Like, for example...

Player A attacks Player B. I know how to tell Player B that Player A is attacking them, but how do I tell Player A that they're attacking Player B? (I know it's really obvious to Player A, but still)

Also, is there any sort of function that runs when a player attacks another? Not a take damage, but some sort of a 'deal damage' thing... or something like that.

I'm having a hard time trying to explain what I mean.

Just notify the attacker in takedamage.
So in the same hook where you notice the victim.

Alright, after playing with the code for a bit, I got this out...

[lua]function OnDamageTaken(ent, attacker)
ent:ChatPrint("YOU HAVE BEEN SHOT BY " .. attacker)
end

function OnHit(ent, attacker)
attacker:ChatPrint("YOU HAVE SHOT " .. ent)
end

function who_hit_who( ent, inflictor, attacker, amount )

ent:OnDamageTaken(ent, attacker)
attacker:OnHit(ent, attacker)

end
hook.Add("EntityTakeDamage","who_hit_who",who_hit_who)[/lua]

It's a serverside script, but I'm getting no message on shot/being shot in chat/server console.

I'm sure the answer is staring me right in the face, but...

[ralle105]

[lua]
ent:OnDamageTaken(ent, attacker)
attacker:OnHit(ent, attacker)
[/lua]
Should be
[lua]
OnDamageTaken(ent, attacker)
OnHit(ent, attacker)
[/lua]

Still no dice.

I'm beginning to think the entire problem is because of the function placement... maybe if I put OnHit and OnTakeDamage in a seperated shared file, they'll work the way I want.

[lua]hook.Add("EntityTakeDamage","who_hit_who",function( victim, inflictor, attacker, amount, dmginfo )

if victim:IsPlayer() and attacker:IsPlayer() then
victim:ChatPrint("YOU HAVE BEEN SHOT BY " .. attacker:Nick())
attacker:ChatPrint("YOU HAVE SHOT " .. victim:Nick())
end

end)[/lua]

Use this serverside. I see no reason it wouldn't work.

Making that code shared wouldn't help one bit since the hook is serverside only.
