Add "damage_type" to "on_entity_died"

Post by TheSAguy »

Hi,

Currently "damage_type" is not available for "on_entity_died", it's only on "on_entity_damaged"
Anyway we can please get it added to "on_entity_died" so I can determine what type of damage killed a unit?

Thanks.

An entity dying has no direct relation to being damaged and as such there is no way to know what "damage" was done to an entity during the died event.

You can just check if health == 0 then yes it's lethal.
