ttt_damageowner is a point entity available in Garry's Mod Garry's Mod. This point entity is useful for correctly attributing damage to the player that activated a series of events. Traitor traps are an example of this. If a player activates a traitor trap with this entity set up correctly, then the !activator of the trap will be credited with the kill in the post-round logs. It is worth noting that karma will be correctly adjusted for any damage attributed to this entity. Whatever trigger is used to activate a trap, it is important that it also fires the output to the ttt_damageowner with the input of SetActivatorAsDamageOwner. This means that anybody who takes damage from the target entity will now be taking damage from the !activator.
