%default variable affecting everyone.

[BouncyBonBon]

I'm working on a game that has a killstreak system in it, I have it so on playerRespawn event, setVar '%default killstreak' to '0' but this affects all players but I only want it to affect the player who died, please help!

The playerRespawn code block checks for is any player respawns, but I don't think it ever checks who respawns, and that's what is messing it up.
You can try using the PlayerKillPlayer event instead and see if that works.

I tried that, but because using the damage code block doesn't tie it to whoever activated the code sequence it classifies it as universal damage (like fall dmg)

Try using "%victim killstreak", as the player in the PlayerKillPlayer event is the victim.

That wouldn't work, as the variable needs to affect the victim when they die and the killer when they kill someone.

Yes, using %victim and %killer does work. Try this:

Player Kill Player:
    Set Variable (%victim killstreak = 0)
    Set Variable (%killer killstreak += 1)

This will reset the victim's killstreak and increase the killer's.

I can't use playerKillPlayer anyway, because using the damage code block doesn't know who activated the codeline, I have it so 'on projectileDmgPlayer ifPlayer{ standingOn coarse dirt } Else {playerEvent damagePlayer 2}'. So the snowball actually doesn't do any damage, the code does. So in this case there is no 'victim' only a 'shooter'. I can store the shooter using a variable for messages, but I can't store the victim with a variable to affect another variable. (if that made any sense)
