Is it possible for a weapon script to identify who is using it?

[RetroNutcase]

Me again, full of questions. This'd be easier if the chat actually had people that do modding and know their stuff in it more often, but that's neither here or there.

 

What I basically need to know is this: is it possible to get a referenceID off someone via a weapon script? One of my custom ammo types has required me to add a scripted effect to the weapon, and I have it partially working. The only problem is I don't know how to determine, when this script runs, is who is currently firing said weapon. If I kept it as is, it could theoretically work at times I don't want it to. Perhaps if I show my script (relatively simple one) it'll make more sense.

 

ScriptName UraniumEffectScript

Begin OnFire
if GetEquipped Ammo50mgDepletedUranium==1
placeatme UraniumRadiationBurst
endif
End

Basically, the idea is, if the user of an Anti Materiel Rifle uses Depleted Uranium rounds, a small radioactive burst should be placed at their location, causing them (and anyone near them) to have their radiation level increase. I know the placeatme idea works, because I just confirmed it by making myself explode in a fiery fatman explosion upon firing the weapon. This however, was done when I set the reference in the script to the player. Obviously, for this to work right, I need the weapon to identify who is firing it, so it can check their equipped ammo type and if it's Depleted Uranium, create a Radiation Burst effect on the player.

 

Is this possible?

What are you attaching this script to? Something basic to check first too, would be trying the placeatme UraniamRadiationBurst in-game to ensure your explosion is doing as intended.
