Hey there

I've got attacker's Player entity, but I don't want his active weapon to go into TakeDamageInfo, I want to see skull and crossbones in the killfeed. However, if I pass None as a weapon_index, Entity.take_damage automatically fills in my attacker's active weapon.
I tried setting weapon_index to WORLD_ENTITY_INDEX, but then there's no damage inflicted at all.

What can I do besides building TakeDamageInfo manually and using Entity.on_take_damage instead?

Thanks

This take_damage function became too intelligent, I feel like we need to do some kind of WeaponIndex.AUTO constant to differ None when we're too lazy to pass attacker's weapon from None when we don't want any attacker weapon.

If anything, I went with

Syntax: Select all

from entities import TakeDamageInfo
from entities.constants import DamageTypes


def take_damage(entity, damage, attacker):
    take_damage_info = TakeDamageInfo()
    take_damage_info.attacker = attacker.index
    take_damage_info.damage = damage
    take_damage_info.type = DamageTypes.GENERIC
    entity.on_take_damage(take_damage_info)

Shorter than I expected
