what's the line for getting a thing's attacker? i'm trying to make a decision statement that determines if the player is attacking an enemy...so far i have

player = GetLocalPlayerThing();
if ( )
//here i need the "get attacker thing"
{

//do stuff

}

Code:

Symbols
Message Damaged

Thing Enemy

End
Code

Damaged:

If(Getsenderref() != Enemy || Getthingparent(Getsourceref()) != JKgetlocalplayer()) Stop;

//Do stuff...

Stop;
End

A multi-conditional statement:

1) Ensures only the enemy will react to the damage.
2) Ensures only damage inflicted by the player will be recognized.
3) It looked good at the time.
