Your variable 'Player' isn't defined so use something like:

  
Player = getLocalPlayer() 
  

before your setElementHealth() call.

i have the same problem

function KnifeDamage( attacker, weapon, bodypart, targetPlayerName ) 
  
        if ( weapon == 4 ) then --the knife 
        Player = getLocalPlayer() 
        setElementHealth ( Player, getElementHealth(Player) - 20 ) 
        end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onClientPlayerDamage", getLocalPlayer(), KnifeDamage )

And maybe you add a else, not sure but i think that can prevent warnings.

//EDIT:

add a local befor Player = getLocalPlayer()

The error occurs because 'getLocalPlayer()' doesn't exist server side.

You need to make it as a client side script.

But you can also use the following code in your server side script:

function playerDamage ( attacker, weapon, bodypart, loss ) 
    if ( weapon == 4 ) then 
        setElementHealth ( source, getElementHealth(source) - 20 ) 
    end 
end 
  
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerDamage", getRootElement (), playerDamage )

The error occurs because 'getLocalPlayer()' doesn't exist server side.

The code you provided should work, but there's something strange with his piece of code... Let's take a look at the script.

function KnifeDamage( attacker, weapon, bodypart, targetPlayerName ) 
  
        if ( weapon == 4 ) then --the knife 
        Player = getLocalPlayer() 
        setElementHealth ( Player, getElementHealth(Player) - 20 ) 
        end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onClientPlayerDamage", getLocalPlayer(), KnifeDamage ) 

How does getLocalPlayer() get called at all if it would be server side... Besides, you would get an error in the addEventHandler for bad argument. (2)

Have you set a variable with the same name to nil or something? Because it looks pretty weird... =/

It looks like the only problem is that you didn't make script work in client side, right? If you did, everything should be normal. And one more thing if it's client-side. All players around the attacked player will be hurt, won't they?
