Do something when player is killed with my swep

[MoustacheSpy]

I want to make a gun for my cops that kick people when they are killed with it. However I cant find a hook for doing something on player death (one that I can use with ANY gamemode so I guess GM:OnPlayerDeath wont do it).

What is a good way to do something when a player dies from that gun?

I am not developing a GameMode. I cant use a Gamemode hook then, right?

Use hook.Add.

[MelonShooter]

You can use a gamemode hook. It'll look like this.

hook.Add("PlayerDeath", "HookIdentifier", function(victim, inflictor, attacker)
    --do something
end)

Note there is no GM prepended to PlayerDeath. It doesn't matter when you use GM hooks.

inflictor:GetClass() always returns player and not my swep class. Why?

[Pyro-Fire]

Because you haven't set the inflictor correctly in your weapon.

How do you do that?

[Pyro-Fire]

I'll say it again;

Please feel free to point out any other mistakes. I know I should set the primary delay using the approperate setting BUT it doesnt do anything. So please point out all mistakes if possible ;)

I changed the sound thing cause it was wrong from me trying things. Sorry I forgot to change it before I posted

[Pyro-Fire]

use attacker:GetActiveWeapon() in your hook to get the weapon.

[c👌de_g🎷]

Yeah, don't rely on the engine to provide a weapon for the inflictor -- Source is extremely inconsistent in that.
