Self-Obituaries

Post by AtomicLugia »

Most games have "kill messages" when a player kills someone or got killed by a monster. Pretty much every weapon has it's own obituary, yet some weapons are capable of kiling yourself, when you're not careful enough. The weapons of UT2004 have some of these, even some weapons of Skulltag (the predecessor of Zandronum) have them, but they're hard-coded. If it possible to implement them to the future releases? If yes, should it be called "SelfObituary" or "SuicideObituary"?

Here are some examples.

The BFG10k from Skulltag: "%o got reckless with %p BFG10K."
The Rocket Launcher from UT2004: "%o fired his rocket prematurely."

One funny site note, some weapons from UT2004 aren't capable of killing yourself such as the hitscan weapons, yet they have suicide obituaries such as the one from the Sniper Rifle:
"%o violated the laws of space-time and sniped himself."

Would love this, never noticed them in UT2K4. Would be cool to be able to add your own.

EDIT: After thinking about it, I would just override GetObituary
