Get the player to be the cause of an explosion

[Smurf_Impact]

Hello,

 

I'm working on making remote explosives. So far, everything is working fine except one thing. When I trigger the explosives and that the explosion kills a target, lets say a raider, I don't get any experience.

 

I'm using the FOSE function IsKeyPressed in gamemode to trigger the explosives.

 

First, I tried using the DamageObject function while putting the explosion in the destruction data of the object. When I shoot the object, I get the desired experience if a target gets killed while when I trigger the explosion using the keyboard, that doesn't give the player any experience.

 

I also tried the PlaceAtMe function to place an explosion at the location of the object, which doesn't work either experience-wise.

 

My question is:

 

How can I link the player to be the cause of an explosion, so that the player gets experience when killing a target with it?

 

Thanks!

is the remote explosive classed as a player weapon? you don't get experience when you trigger kills from unowned world objects like cars or gas tanks either.

Yeah that's what I figured out for the explosion thing. What I'm asking is if there's a way to update the source of the explosion to be the player, just like for projectiles (mines) and their linked explosions.
