Default Who or what killed me?

I can't seem to find what I am wanting to do. I thought it would be simple and it probably is. Just not today.

I would like to get the ID and eventually the name of the creature that killed a player.

In case of PvP the killing player would be nice. If that's not possible, then maybe just a true/false that it was a another player

All other deaths marked as "from an unknown source" or the like

"Killer variables," says Secrets.
Code:
$killer_damage
$killer_id
$killer_skill
$killer_spell
Something like this can be done for players killed by players.
Code:
sub EVENT_DEATH_COMPLETE {
    if ($entity_list->GetMobByID($killer_id) && $entity_list->GetMobByID($killer_id)->IsClient()) {
        ##Do whatever
    }
}

I fiddled around with a bunch of different things and could not get any of them to work until I stumbled into this:

Code:
sub EVENT_DEATH_COMPLETE{

	my $whokilledme = "an unknown hand";
	my $mobid = $entity_list->GetMobID($killer_id);
	$whokilledme= $mobid->GetCleanName();
		
	quest::gmsay("$name the $class has just been killed in $zoneln by $whokilledme ", 335, 1, 0, 0);
	
}
Oddly enough it works for both mobs and pc kills. Only drawback is if the player dies by drowning, falling or anything but a pc or mob there is no text at all.

The reason GetCleanName() works on PCs and NPCs is because GetCleanName() is a Mob method that PCs and NPCs inherit through subclass inheritance. Try this:
Code:
sub EVENT_DEATH_COMPLETE {
    quest::gmsay("$name the $class has just been killed in $zoneln by " . ($entity_list->GetMobByID($killer_id) ? $entity_list->GetMobByID($killer_id)->GetCleanName() : "an unknown hand") . ".", 335, 1, 0, 0);    
}

Awesome! Thanks Kingly. When I had the practice toon nuke himself I got this message:

Zeppa the Ranger has just been killed in the Overthere by Zeppa

This is perfect.

My final Code

Code:
sub EVENT_DEATH_COMPLETE {

   if($ulevel >= 85){  #Avoid Newbie Death Spam
	 if(!defined $qglobals{DeathSpam}) {  #Avoid Nimrod Death Spam
		quest::gmsay("$name the $class has just been killed in $zoneln by " . ($entity_list->GetMobByID($killer_id) ? $entity_list->GetMobByID($killer_id)->GetCleanName() : "an unknown hand") . ".", 335, 1, 0, 0);    
		quest::setglobal("DeathSpam","1",5,"M10");
   }		
} 

}
Thanks again
