Yes that is what I want.. Player (A) kills player (B) Player (A) should be listed in the Killed By field of the scoreboard. I am trying to network similar to that of the player_resource info. m_iPing, m_iDeaths, m_iFrags etc etc I know a string can be networked. But what about a m_szKilledby[MAX_PLAYERS+1] [MAX_PLAYER_NAME_LENGTH] Wouldn't take take up a bit of network traffic ?
