How to get the attacker?

[pepper82]

Hi all,
assuming a player casts spells like fireball or something like that and the victim dies because of a fireball.
How would you get the attacker in the "on damage" or "on death" event, because default it's empty?

Are you meaning like THIS?

No,
basically I would like to know HOW to set the attacker with Skript. Because when you shoot a fireball oder wither skull with some self scripted effects there will be no attacker in the "on damage" event.

You can use metadata to do that. You can set a metadata value to the fireball (you can set whoever shot it) and then check the metadata of the projectile to get the shooter in the damage event.
