I dont remember which class IsNPC is located in, so ill go as derived as
possible.
Your going to want pKiller to be of the class CBaseCombatCharacter, which is
shared between the player and npc classes.
CBaseCombatCharacter *pKiller = dynamic_cast<CBaseCombatCharacter *>(
GetDeathScorer( info.GetAttacker(), info.GetInflictor() ) );
But imo you might just be able to check GetDeathScorer for IsNPC(). Also
make sure you check for validity here, ToHL2MPPlayer will only cast player
classes, and return everything else NULL.
