Is there a way to detect which unit killed a unit? Preferably without EUDs.



None.

I do stuff and thingies... Try widening and reducing the number of small nooks and crannies to correct the problem.

in general cases: NO!
if you have only 1 unit per player: yes (killscore)

At least u can say that it was a unit inside the longest weapon range ingame around the killed unit (unit is in a location or location system on the killed unit).

Without EUDs? No. Kills are player based.
You could try and set up a system that detects death of a unit and then checks the units that are nearby. But that would be obviously very inaccurate.

With EUDs? Probably not. The only thing I can think of that is detectable is the kills counter going up when it killed a unit. Don't know if that is detectable via EUDs. If it is you had to combine it with deaths detection which has a percentage chance of failing.

It only goes up to 255 too, but it should be detectable, since it's a property of a unit.

well there is a way, but that pretty much depends on your map structure, i have a very complicated concept that might work yes without EUDS



None.

Symmetry shouted: I did my first EUD thing today. Feels like me finding arsenal at age 8 again
haha for sure. in some ways it's even more exciting because you can play EUD maps on regular battle.net, don't need to convince someone to download your mod to play with you. what did you do?
