Unusual Cog Request

Alright guys. I need a favor.

Can anyone show me or write up a cog in which if a certain object or enemy is killed/destroyed, then the player instantly dies?

Thanks! I appreciate it.

This should do the trick

Code: 
symbols

message	        killed
thing		thing_to_be_killed

end

# ========================================================================================

## Code Section
code

# .................................................................................................

killed:
        if (GetSourceRef() != thing_to_be_killed) Return;

	DamageThing(GetLocalPlayerThing(), 1000, 1, -1);
	return;

end

No, that won't work.

Returns what sent a message to the cog. This is the direct originator of the message, for instance a surface that is being activated:, or an actor that is being damaged: The Sender should not be confused with the Source</font>

So if you really want to use that safeguard, you should be checking the senderref.

Thank you for sending me a copy of your book - I'll waste no time reading it.
