I'm trying to think of a way to tell how a Ped died, specifically if it was a gun or a melee weapon.  Does anybody have any ideas? While trying to get some ideas, I used my character to kill a player and checked if the LocalPlayer.Character.Inventory.EquippedWeapon == "WEAPON_UNARMED", but that didn't seem to work.

Any ideas help, Thank you!

myPed.IsDead

 

Is general. You could add in front if myPed.IsDead();

{

}

or something along those lines. If you need anymore help you can PM me :)

You can use the native GET_PED_CAUSE_OF_DEATH. It returns the hash of the weapon that killed the ped so you can use the WeaponHash enum from RPH, like this:

(WeaponHash)NativeFunction.CallByName<uint>("GET_PED_CAUSE_OF_DEATH", myDeadPed);

I don't remember if it also returns a hash for deaths non related to weapons, like falling, in that case it won't be included in the WeaponHash enum and you will need to do some testing and find out those hashes.

Yes, something like this is exactly what I'm looking for.  That should work.  Thanks for the help!
