Summary0000266: "Child frag" obituary always that of the master's weapon
DescriptionWhen a friendly monster is spawned with A_SpawnItemEx in a competitive gamemode, any frags it does are transferred to its master. However, the obituary will always be the obituary of the current weapon the master is wielding, and the monster's obituary will never show up.

I have attached an "imp shotgun", use "give ImpShotgun" to get it. Uses slot number 3. Primary fire will spawn friendly, invulnerable imps, altfire will shoot a powerful shotgun blast that will definitely kill a bot.
Steps To Reproduce1. Start offline deathmatch with bots.
2. Do "give ImpShotgun" in console. Might want to also do "god" because the imps might kill you as well without it.
3. Fire the shotgun a couple of times to spawn imps.
4. Imps will frag the bots, with the shotgun's obituary showing up instead of the imps'.
Additional InformationGot a feeling that this one can't really be fixed... trying anyway.

Is it the same in GZDoom 323?

Uh.. as far as I recall the "slave's frags go to master" -system is not present in GZDoom. I tried it anyway, and the friendly imp did not attack its master or the player whom it was supposed to attack.

This was changed in GZDoom shortly after revision 323. Can you test it with a more recent version?

1.2.00 turned out to be too old, and 1.3.00 refuses to read any input whatsoever. I am under Linux, so having this as a result of running GZDoom under Wine does not really surprise me..

Yeah, I have noticed that. Maybe if is possible to add monster obituary for example: Bot was burned by an imp
Also it has to do with the bug that if you switch to another weapon if you fire rocket launcher, it says the obituary of the selected weapon and the bug with fist medal if you switch fast to fist.
This was never fixed

Can you compile GZDoom for you system?

If you don't know how to compile it, you can read this.

If you want to compile gzdoom with a greater revision than r323, use 'svn up -r numberofrevisionyouwant' before compiling it.

No. You aren't awarded a frag when your child actor kills another player. But the correct obituary is displayed there. Also tested in GZDoom SVN build r1183 with the same results.

> Also it has to do with the bug that if you switch to another weapon if you fire rocket launcher, it says the obituary of the selected weapon and the bug with fist medal if you switch fast to fist.

Indeed, this is what it looks like. If your selected weapon is a hitscan weapon, the corresponding obituary will be displayed. If the weapon is a missile weapon, the obituary will simply state: "%o died.".

I made a new, easier-to-use example wad. It uses the same setup as impshotgun.wad, but also includes a map, and you're given the weapon immediately upon spawn (cycle to it).

EDIT:

Wrong revision number.

While the frag obituary is still the master's weapon as of 2.1.2, in 3.0 this isn't the case. This seems to have been fixed over time.
