How to find who killed a player?

Asked by

I am making a Ko and Wo leaderboard and know how to find wos but I just cant figure out how you can find who killed someone which means I can't make the ko column count correctly (it doesnt count anything at all).

The thing is, no one actually "kills" someone. I don't have that much time so here is a quick summary: The way of counting kills is by "tagging" the player, within whatever script you use for your attack. Examples can be shown on the "linked sword". When a player dies due to this attack, the player that fired the attack is tagged, and that is put into further code into making a "Ko" system. It's easy with gears, could get tricky with other attacks. I'd love to help you out more, but your question seems more of a request. You have no script whatsoever, and want a Ko system handed to you, without even stating details.
