Fallout 2 mod scripting damage in combat mode?

[QuantumApprentice]

Has anyone had any experience getting scripts to apply damage in combat mode?
I've been trying to get a script to apply damage from a trap to the triggering critter using "source_obj", but this causes a game crash every time.

Pro tip: take a sneekpeak at how traps are handled in Fo:Nevada, they're the only ones that do damage in combat, but it still triggers only if critter sits on the trap at a start of a turn if i remember correctly..
P.S.
I know there are no sources Nevada scripts ( you'd have to decompile the trap script and take a look yoursielf).

oooo! good point!

...and it uses the same command as I'm working with:
critter_dmg(source_obj, random(14,20), DMG_normal_dam);

After a bunch of toubleshooting with other scripters on discord, it looks like the problem is on my end...now to figure out what that problem is...

You can check out my traps system. It correctly triggers trap in and out of combat. The trick is to use MOVECOST hook script:

cool thanks!
It turned out my problem had something to do with the git repo, not sure what, I just ended up deleting everything and re-cloning the repo.

oops, looks like that link doesn't exist anymore, but I'll make sure to follow you

I've updated the link. You can check out the other files as well, maybe you see something interesting. For inspiration I also recommend these repos:
