Problem description:
Ok well I do know what the problem is but I dont know how to fix it. Its the typical calling usr inside a proc problem. But I dont understand how I can get to the person who shot the projectile. C an someone Help me? BTW.. I was trying attack mob/You. Just need to know how I can re refrence my orginal shooter from within the CharacterDeath() proc.

Heres the error message:

runtime error: Cannot read 0.exp
proc name: characterdeath (/mob/proc/characterdeath)
usr: 0
src: You (/mob/You)
call stack:
You (/mob/You): characterdeath()
Ki Blast (/obj/projectile/wki): Bump(You (/mob/You))
Ki Blast (/obj/projectile/wki): missileloop()
Ki Blast (/obj/projectile/wki): missileloop()

Use src for the person who has fired the projectile and have


characterdeath(mob/M)

for the person who is to die

Exactly wrong. In a death check, src must always be the victim. The argument should be the killer.

Well it may work, but that's not the point. The point is, it's wrong. src needs to be the victim because that's what the whole proc revolves around: the mob who's dying.

Well uhh.. whats the proper way to do it? I have src set to the victim but how to I refrence to the person who shot the projectile and not the projectile itself?
