Heretic whirlwind has broken obituary?

[Heisanevilgenius]

I made a clone of a cacodemon that fires a whirlwind from Heretic. This is the only code I added:

Code: Select all

{
	Default
	{
		Translation "LichCaco";
	}

	States
	{
	Missile:
		HEAD BC 5 A_FaceTarget;
		HEAD D 0 Bright A_StartSound("caco/attack");
		HEAD D 5 Bright A_SpawnProjectile("Whirlwind");
		Goto See;	
	}
}

But if the player is killed by the whirlwind, the obituary says "Player killed themselves" instead of that they were killed by a cacodemon. Any idea how to fix this?

Is this a bug or did I make some kind of mistake?

Even when using the default ironlich in Heretic, if you get killed by the whirlwind, you get the "killed himself" message.

I tried giving the whirlwind a hit obituary and a regular obituary, but I still got the "killed himself" message if a whirlwind killed me.

It could be a bug/missing feature.
