EffectDamage - Player isn't treated as damage dealer

[Legacy_Buddywarrior]

               I'm calling this from a unique power cast by the player. On the creatures death, no loot drops. It acts as though the player isn't the damage dealer. How can solve this?

  eEffect = EffectDamage(d2(), DAMAGE_TYPE_BLUDGEONING, DAMAGE_POWER_NORMAL);
  ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_INSTANT, eEffect, GetItemActivatedTarget());

               Make sure you have the player creating the damage effect.  Perhaps in special function...

void DoDamage(object oTarget, int nDamage, int nDamageType, int nDamagePower)
{
effect eDamage = EffectDamage(nDamage, nDamageType, nDamagePower);
ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_INSTANT, eDamage, oTarget);
}

void main()
{
object oPC = GetItemActivator();
object oTarget = GetItemActivatedTarget();
AssignCommand(oPC, DoDamage(oTarget, d2(), DAMAGE_TYPE_BLUDGEONING, DAMAGE_POWER_NORMAL));
}

Ooh it looks like that worked. I'm so glad these forums are still alive. Thank you kindly!
