What's %obj? Try doing a dump() on it...

The bot player when created has obj = 1598 and when I shoot it onDamage is called and in that funciton %obj = 1598 so it looks to be the same thing.

how do I do a dump() in the script?

%obj.dump();

You can call that directly also.
If the object is 1598 then just type into your console...

1598.dump();

Ok, I did a test on the head. There is currently no way to check a player with the above function, sorry about that. What you can do are several different things, and the most direct being this....


if(%obj.getclassname() $= "AIPlayer")
{
}
else
{
}
