Getting weapon that killed a player

[ynpMOOSE 122]

We do some custom logging of kills, but I'm having trouble with explosive kills.  Currently, the weapon that killed is retrieved using this:

_weapon = currentWeapon _killer;
_weaponTxt = (gettext (configFile >> 'cfgWeapons' >> _weapon >> 'displayName'));
if (vehicle _killer != _killer) then 
	{
	_weaponTxt = (gettext (configFile >> 'cfgVehicles' >> (typeOf vehicle _killer) >> 'displayName'));
	};

If I place a mine and walk away, then you get killed by it 15 minutes later, then weapon is whatever I'm holding at that time, not the mine.

How can I get the "killing" weapon, or the weapon that caused damage last?

This is because the weapon you're having trouble tracking isn't a weapon.  It's a vehicle. 

I have a stats page I'm releasing soon and I had the same issue.  I decided to generalize the explosive used because of the same issue you're describing.  It's a pain to track.

Will you be releasing it as a separate post on the forum or replying here? I'm interested in using it.
