More Kill Icons

2026 UPDATE: Also applies them to entities of other mods by name-match (e.g. "deagle" for CSS deagle)

Adds 20 elementary killicons to more than 100 deaths!

I do like Bill's, but I think the sheer amount it adds to the game is overkill. I also didn't like some of their design. Sorry! ...also, now this mod adds kill icons to all the other mods you couldn't cover.

So, I just made my own. A lightweight addon meant to blend in with Gmod's goofy sandbox style, adjacent to Portal and TF2. A quality of life kinda mod. In 2026, I was also able to extend these icons + Counter-Strike Source ones to other addons using name-match.

The additions you're most likely to see are for:

• Lethal fall

• Hazards (requires the mod on server too for trigger hurt, morekillicons_trigger_hurt_override 0 to disable)

• Explosion (either "normal" or by player dynamite)

• Vehicular manslaughter

• Fire

• Self-inflicted (e.g. rocket jump)

• Crushed by a map object

• Crushed by a door

• Electrocution (e.g. rollermine)

• Claws (e.g. zombies)

• Swiss cheese'd (e.g. turrets, helicopters)

• Acid (e.g. antlion workers)

• Laser (e.g. vortigaunts)

• Sharp cut (e.g. manhacks)

Additionally, the mod links up both new and already existing icons to:

• HL1 weapons & NPCs

• Alyx gun, Annabelle, fists

• Other various weapons (e.g. VJBase defaults)

If some of your guns are still missing one you can also check out AutoIcons.

Finally, by using name match, it also applies the new- and old killicons (such as from CS:S) to other mods. You can disable this via more_killicons_dynamic_create 0.

Hope you'll enjoy!

For modders...

The custom icons were created using graphics in the Public Domain. Feel free to use them in your own mod, or make this a submod for it.

-- Compatibility example, works if your lua is loaded after [url=https://wiki.facepunch.com/gmod/Lua_Loading_Order]autorun/client/[/url]. Otherwise you'll have to remove the if
if killicon.Exists("npc_zombie") then
	killicon.AddAlias("npc_my_cool_bear", "npc_zombie")
end

Finally, by default, this mod overrides the trigger_hurt class to trigger_hurt_morekillicons for living things. If you want your OP NPC to have immunity, use string.find(dmginfo:GetInflictor():GetClass(), "trigger_hurt") != nil for the class check
