Who is the activator?

So I have a script, that should drop an item when the actor is killed.

The activation of thec script is tied by action special 80 on the actor.

The script is following:

Code: Select all

script "randomDrop_poacher" (void)
{
	int randomController;
	randomController = random(0,5);

	str items2drop[6] = {
		"ClipOfBullets",
		"Gold10",
		"Gold25",
		"MedPatch",
		"MedicalKit",
		"Hyposprej"
	};
	DropItem(0, items2drop[randomController], 1, 256);
	ACS_NamedExecuteAlways("poachersKilled", 0);
}

As the wiki says, when 0 is set as actor TID (who should drop the item), it's the TID of the activator of the script. But who is the activator, when the script is connected to the monster? Is monster (while dies) activator of the script? Or is player the activator, who killed the monster?

Baecause, whe it is set with 0, it does not drop anything. When I set it according to monsters TID, things are dropeed.

Unless you have [wiki=Map_definition#ActivateOwnDeathSpecials]ActivateOwnDeathSpecials[/wiki] flag set for your map, the activator should be the killer.
