X-20 Saw the light.

[X-20]

A simple question from artistic death messages thread that never really got answered.. but anyway how do you add this death message to a map?

case MOD_TARGET_LASER: // ?
      message = "saw the light";
      break;

Thanks :>

As far as I know, it isn't currently possible to set custom death messages. Not 100% sure about that though.

That's one of the built-in death messages...  Looks like it shows for a map-based laser-kill.

2 ways.

client-side mod with proper MOD messages changes

or server-side with trap cmds (hack)

'saw the light' is (I think) an obituary from Quake II. It was used in Gloom too.

I think you can make it say what ever you wont with a homemade shader

You could try a target_message or whatever the entity was called, although it wouldn't really work as you intend. I have no experience with making shaders, but i guess with the awesome variety of shaders i've seen and used it should be viable, although i wouldn't know how it would display a text message...
