Actors damaging actors

I have a COG setup so that various things happen in a level when the player damages specific actors. However, I don't want to the game to do these various things should other actors damage these specified actors.

Is there a way to get the COG to differentiate between damage dealt by the player and damage dealt by actors?

Sure. You can, for example, use code like this in the damaged message of the cogs:

Code:

if(GetThingType(GetThingParent(GetSourceRef())) == 10)
{
   // Player damage: do the nasty stuff
}

AI Actors have a different thing type (8 or something) than players (10).

Actors are type 2, and players are type 10.
