The funniest thing happend last night. I was a rine and the whole team of 10 players was spawning back from 1 ip and there were a couple of skulks around it. When I spawned back I managed to shoot 2 skulks with the lmg and then i ran out of bullets, so I picked up my pistol and started shooting like crazy. And guess what happend... It said I shot MYSELF with the pistol!!! LOL. Is there a way to kill ur self with a gun, or was that just a cool bug?
(Sry if I posted in the wrong section)

    basicly u'd have to shoot and be quick enuf to be at the other side of the gun before the bullet comes out <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> cool bug im pretty sure...

    Exactly, or if it showed the pic of the pistol, that's a whole other story. I saw this alot in DoD 3.1

    It's not hard to do in DoD 1.0 either, I do it all the time. It usually happens when I set up my machine gun to close to a wall or something and some of my shots hit it and they somehow damage me.

    if you get telefragged, and have a weapon out, it sometimes shows that you killed yourself with the weapon you were holding rather then the telefrag itself. This may have to do with the bug that causes you to get a kill with whatever your current weapon is, no matter what caused your enemy to die.

    Theory - Try shooting as you get telefragged. This guy was seeing a lot of action an was emptying his clip as he died. Perhaps +attack screws it up.

    thats what im guessing to. sometimes u may not do something eg: shoot a skulk and he blows up on a mine but yet it shows an lmg pic with my name (it was my mine too) so sometimes it just gets confused and throws in the weapon u r holding im guessing

    I believe Half-Life decides what weapon you kill stuff with by what weapon was last used before the thing you shot dies.

    Example: You can lob a bilebomb at a marine then quickly switch to blink and fire before the bilebomb hits the marine. It will show the marine being killed with blink. If he's low enough on health of course.

    But for this to work in your case, you would have had to have killed yourself with team_infportal <b>then</b> fired your pistol. This isn't possible unless you had some severe lag. Maybe there's another explanation.

    Killed with... blink??? Even funnier a concept than getting killed with healingspray!

    Actually this has nothing really to do with Ns itself as I have seen this odd bug in CS and Dod before. It is very rare but it has somethign to do with the HL engine itself. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

    The old blink, or xenocide or whatever sprite appearing as a kill can't be a HL related problem, because look at mods such as TFC or CS, or DoD. When you throw a grenade, you get your weapon back out, then the grenade goes off and kills someone, but you still get the grenade sprite as a kill, not the weapon you are holding, its just the same as switching weapons/attacks quickly.

    According to people who posted in <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?act=ST&f=1&t=30190' target='_blank'>this thread</a>, it happens in DoD too.

    Must be wrong then, maybe its a general thing that most mods manage to fix fairly quickly, my apologies <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
