Damagething damages the wrong dude.

Code:

damaged:
   dmg_player=getsenderref();
   dmg_source=getsourceref();

   dmg=getparam(0);

   if(GetParam(1) == 32) dmg=0;
   if(getparam(1) == 64) dmg=0;
   
   if(getcurweaponmode(getsenderref()) < 0)
   {
   dot=thingviewdot(getsenderref(), getsourceref());
   factor=((dot*-1)+1)/2;
   dmg=dmg*factor;
   if(dmg < 1) dmg=0;
   }
   else
   {
   settimerex(0.1, 2, dmg, dmg_source);
   }
   ReturnEx(dmg);
   Return;

That handles blocking, where damage taken decreases the closer it is to Lvec.

Code:

touched:
   sender=getsenderref();
   source=getsourceref();

   if(getcurweaponmode(sender) >= 0)
   {
   dot=thingviewdot(sender, source);
   factor=((dot)+1)/2;
   damage=15*factor;
   damagething(source, damage, 0x10, sender);
   }
return;

This handles the attacking.

For some reason, when I try to damage the other player, it damages ME, in relation to HIS lvec. I can't figure out what's wrong or why it does this, any help would be appreciated.

That's seriously all I've changed in the cog, too.

Could you be damaging each other?

Meaning if two players touched each other, I would guess it would trigger both their touched messages. He damages you and you damage him. ?

Edit:

Well, combined with a sendtrigger, that worked perfectly.

You pwn.
