Vehicle shot

[arciCZ]

Hello, I have a question, is there any chance to find out when a player shoots what part of the car he has hit?

You can use https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/OnClientVehicleDamage to get position where the bullet hit the car, and after that loop over vehicle components list and find which one was closest to the hit. It will not be at all precise, there may be some better way, i can't think of it now tho.

addEventHandler('onClientPlayerWeaponFire',root,function(weapon,ammo,aic,x,y,z,hitElement)
    if hitElement then
        if getElementType(hitElement) == 'vehicle' then
            local components = getVehicleComponents(hitElement)
            for i=1,#components do
                local 2x,2y,2z = getComponentWorldPosition(components[i])
                if x == 2x and y == 2y and z == 2z then
                    return components[i]
                end
            end
        end
    end
end)

function getComponentWorldPosition(vehicle,component)
    local m = getElementMatrix(vehicle)
    local x,y,z = getVehicleComponentPosition(vehicle,component)
    local wX = x*m[1][1]+y*m[2][1]+z*m[3][1]+m[4][1]
    local wY = x*m[1][2]+y*m[2][2]+z*m[3][2]+m[4][2]
    local wY = x*m[1][3]+y*m[2][3]+z*m[3][3]+m[4][3]
    return wX,wY,wZ
end

This only works if you shoot dead center of the component. So you may have to modify it to do what you want. This is as far as I can help. Sorry.
