rocket explosion damage change

[#nofear]

how can i change the damage of rocket explosion?
when I tried it before, when I fired with a rocket, I was taking damage when any player took damage, I don't want this and I want their cars to take extra damage.

please help me

local rocketDmg = 50

function changeRocketDmg(attacker, dmgType, bodypart, loss)
	if (dmgType == 39) then
		cancelEvent()
    local playerHealth = getElementHealth ( localPlayer ) - rocketDmg
    if playerHealth <= 0 then
      killPed(localPlayer, attacker)
      else
      setElementHealth(localPlayer, playerHealth)
      end
	end
end
addEventHandler("onClientPlayerDamage", localPlayer, changeRocketDmg)

Hello you can try this, i did this quickly on my phone so i didnt test it and there is maybe mistakes but the general idea should work i think.

The problem with this method is that the rocket dmg is a set value when in reality you should take less dmg if you are far from the explosion or a lot of dmg if you stand right into it.

You could do a percentage instead, you keep the first part of the code but then reduce loss value by 50% or something like that.

local rocketDmgModifier = 0.5 -- from 0 to 1, 0 for 0% of the dmg and 1 for 100% of the dmg
function changeRocketDmg(attacker, dmgType, bodypart, loss)
	if (dmgType == 39) then
		cancelEvent()
    local playerHealth = getElementHealth ( localPlayer ) - ( loss * rocketDmgModifier )
    if playerHealth <= 0 then
      killPed(localPlayer, attacker)
      else
      setElementHealth(localPlayer, playerHealth)
      end
	end
end
addEventHandler("onClientPlayerDamage", localPlayer, changeRocketDmg)

An other version with percentage rather than a set value. Again i didnt test it

--you can manipulate the vehicle health
addEventHandler("onClientVehicleDamage", root,
    function(attacker, weapon, loss)
        if attacker == localPlayer and weapon == 36 then
            local currentHealth = getElementHealth(source)
            setElementHealth(source, currentHealth - loss*2) -- doubling the damage
        end
    end
)

you can’t directly change the dmg the damage values are usually hard coded in the game itself but you can try what I’ve posted above

When you set the damage type to 19 it works for peds but not for vehicles

function changeRocketDmgCar(attacker, dmgType, bodypart, loss, x, y, z, tire)
	if (dmgType == 19) then
		cancelEvent()
            local currentHealth = getElementHealth(source)
            if currentHealth <= 0 then
            blowVehicle(root, currentHealth)
            else
            setElementHealth(source, currentHealth - loss*2) -- doubling the damage
        end
    end
)
addEventHandler("onClientVehicleDamage", root, changeRocketDmgCar)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
addEventHandler("onClientVehicleDamage", root,
    function(attacker, dmgType, bodypart, loss, x, y, z, tire)
        if (dmgType == 19) then
		cancelEvent()
            local currentHealth = getElementHealth(source)
            setElementHealth(source, currentHealth - loss*2) -- doubling the damage
        end
    end
)

I have tried such things, but I am not very experienced and cannot reach the result.

Cause the vehicle damage event parameters are different

addEventHandler("onClientVehicleDamage", root,
    function(theAttacker, dmgType, loss,)
        if (dmgType == 19) then
		cancelEvent()
            local currentHealth = getElementHealth(source)
            setElementHealth(source, currentHealth - loss*2) -- doubling the damage
        end
    end
)
