Health Loss

[Crook4Money]

Can anyone show me a simple script for making a player lose health if he's in a marker or something. I can't seem to get the player to lose health that way. Basically trying to go for a zone method like PUBG where you lose health over time in a circle.

Something like this should work:
 

local healthlossTime = 1000
local lastHealthLossTick = 0

function isPlayerInCircle(player, cx,cy,radius)
	local px,py = getElementPosition( player )
	return (getDistanceBetweenPoints2D( px, py, cx, cy ) <= radius)
end

local cx,cy,radius = 0,0,100

function checkPlayerCircleStatus()
	local currentTick = getTickCount()
	if (currentTick - lastHealthLossTick) > healthlossTime then
		if isPlayerInCircle(localPlayer, cx, cy, radius) then
			local health = getElementHealth( localPlayer )
			if health > 0 then
				setElementHealth( localPlayer, health-10 )
			end
			lastHealthLossTick = currentTick
		end
	end
end
addEventHandler( "onClientRender", root, checkPlayerCircleStatus )

For some explanation, this way doesn't use any markers, it uses "onClientRender" event to take 10 health from player every second when he's inside of circle that has center in point "cx,cy", and has radius of "radius". I haven't tested it, but it should work.

Ah, I thought I'd have to use a ColShape which is what I was trying before. This was a lot more complex than I originally thought. lol

Nice. It works just as I wanted it to. Thanks.

How would you go about showing the radius on the map?

Depends on what map do you use, it could be as easy as using https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/DxDrawCircle to draw the circle on screen.
