Thanks for all your help so far. I've added private EHANDLEs wherever I want to record the weapon used (the RPG's missile was a little more convoluted). It works for all weapons except the combine ball's OnHitEntity. NPCs don't appear to take damage in the usual way from the combine ball; it looks like it may go through dissolve instead.
Fortunately, I'm not using the energy ball, so I'm going to leave it for now.
