bug or not?

[GodFather]

That doesn't work.

[CapY]

Maybe self kills.

Who cares. Anyway stats system doesn't work as far as I know.

If someone CAN kill someone with a parachute, I wanna know how it's done, 'cause it'd be the lulziest way to kill someone.

If it works, it must be that someone died because the player has forgotten to open his parachute .

it's a minor issue with the way the killing weapon is found. when someone dies mta knows which player caused the death, but does not know what weapon caused it (there are a few exceptions, fire from a molotov for instance), so it just checks what weapon the killer is holding at the time of death. this way, if you kill someone with a slow projectile like a rocket it can look like you killed him im a completely different way, or in case of the parachute, if you punch someone to death whike having it selected it will assume the parachute was the killing weapon.

Thanks you.

You could fake a parachute death using killPed(), could have been a scripting accident and not a legitimate kill.
