if(****Loc == "head" && sMeansOfDeath != "MOD_MELEE")
sMeansOfDeath = "MOD_HEAD_SHOT";
if(isPlayer(attacker) && attacker != self && sMeansOfDeath != "MOD_MELEE" && sWeapon != "panzerschreck_mp" && sWeapon != "frag_grenade_british_mp" && sWeapon != "frag_grenade_american_mp" && sWeapon != "tripwire_mp" && sWeapon != "frag_grenade_russian_mp" && sWeapon != "frag_grenade_german_mp" && sWeapon != "potato_mp" && sWeapon != "artillery_mp" && sWeapon != "planebomb_mp" && sWeapon != "mortar_mp")

{
hitlocation = "";

if(****Loc == "head")
hitlocation = "Head ";
if(****Loc == "helmet")
hitlocation = "Helmet ";
if(****Loc == "neck")
hitlocation = "Throat ";
if(****Loc == "torso_upper")
hitlocation = "Upper Torso ";
if(****Loc == "torso_lower")
hitlocation = "Balls";
if(****Loc == "right_arm_upper")
hitlocation = "Upper Right Arm ";
if(****Loc == "right_arm_lower")
hitlocation = "Lower Right Arm ";
if(****Loc == "right_hand")

hitlocation = "Upper Left Leg ";
if(****Loc == "left_leg_lower")
hitlocation = "Lower Left Leg ";
if(****Loc == "left_foot")
hitlocation = "Left Foot ";

distance = distance(Attacker.origin , self.origin);
meters = (int(distance * 0.254))/10;
feet = distance / 12; //Feet
yards = distance * 0.028;


//feet
//attacker iprintlnBold("^1" + hitlocation + " Shot ^7from ^3" + feet + " ^7feet!");
//self iprintlnBold("^1" + hitlocation + " Shot ^7from ^3" + feet + "^7 feet!"); //Message to death person
iprintln("^1" + attacker.name + "^7 killed ^1" + self.name + "^7 with a shot over a distance of ^1" + feet + " feet!"); //Message to every player

//yards
self iprintlnBold("^1" + hitlocation + "^4 Shot ^7from ^2" + yards + " ^7yard!");
attacker iprintlnBold("^1" + hitlocation + "^4 Shot ^7from ^2" + yards + " ^7yard!"); //Message to death person
iprintln("^1" + attacker.name + "^7 killed ^1" + self.name + "^4 Shot ^7from ^2" + yards + " ^7yard!"); //Message to every player

ive seen this sort of script on the extreme forums as well some time ago...and i wondered...why dont they and you use the extreme obituaries...set it to 8 and you have x killed y with an z weapon at the somewhere from x yards

[Dak Knight]

your right of course Marc but we are a sniper server and use long range rifles for the bigger maps and it unfortunately does not give out these messages in obits

This gives us the yardage using that rifle (substitute) and was wondering if someone had found a better way of doing it.

Thx
