CSMM_Patrons EntityKilled with Dart Traps and Auto Turrets

🔍 **Answer** (Confidence: Medium)
Hello! Thanks for the detailed report.

The log line you're seeing, `[CSMM_Patrons]entityKilled...`, is generated by the CSMM Patrons Mod (CPM), not the base game.

This behavior, where kills from traps or turrets show the player's held item, is a known limitation. It occurs because the game doesn't directly attribute the kill to the trap/turret in the event data that the mod can access. As a fallback, the mod reports the item the player was holding at the time of the kill.

Unfortunately, this isn't something that can be changed through configuration, as it's related to how the mod interprets information from the game itself.

I noticed that the log message when killing an entity using a Dart Trap or an Auto Turret does not display the correct weapon name. It always shows the item the player is holding in their hand at the moment of death.

Here are two excerpts from the log:

In the first one, I killed the zombie with a Dart Trap while holding Wire Tool in my hand.

```2025-09-17T06:15:23 283.194 INF Entity zombieBowler 225 killed by IFFMSP 171

In the second one, I killed the zombie with an Auto Turret while holding a First Aid Kit  in my hand.

```2025-09-17T06:16:04 323.654 INF Entity zombieBowler 228 killed by IFFMSP 171
2025-09-17T06:16:04 323.654 INF [CSMM_Patrons]entityKilled: IFFMSP (Steam_76561198567841317) killed zombie Bowler with First Aid Kit```

Would it be possible for the log to show the actual equipment used (Dart Trap / Auto Turret) instead of the item the player is holding?

Thank you.
