I'm wondering whether i can use the black magic fuckery of event handlers to override obituaries without changing actors. For example, say that I want to causes imps to get a randomized kill message (this is not what i want to do, just an example) - can i do this without a new imp actor that overrides getobituary()?
If this is not possible, is there any gross hack that i can use to simulate this?

Re: Override obituaries without changing actors?
No. The obituary system gets the text by calling GetObituary, and no event handler in the world can change such a thing.
