If i were you, i'd add a: gameeventmanager-AddListener(this, player_death, false ); to the scoreboard code, and use the FireGameEvent() function to store who the last person who killed who on the client, since it's sending this info in a game event message anyways. On 7/5/05, r00t 3:16 [EMAIL

Try adding a function similar to the SetModelWidthScale() (see how it's implemented with GetModelWidthScale() ) to the CBaseAnimating class, that's an easy way to make a model scale up/down. Use a thikn function to make it change over time, and bobs your uncle On 7/5/05, Ian Warwick [EMAIL
