onClientPlayerDamage Event - when someone else is damaged

[Phat Looser]

Hi there, I wanted to know if there is any possibility to change the call of the onClientPlayerDamage Event in a way it enables me to recognize the damage the other players receive (the small health ups and downs you can see when you shoot at a player).

At the moment, the function called only is called when the own player receives the damage.

You could use setElementData to determine player being hit/shot. But why would you want this for every player client-side? You can use server-side event onPlayerDamage which is triggered for every player. I haven't really tested but are you sure onClientPlayerDamage is triggered only for local player? Sometimes documentation on wiki may be wrong. I used this event for my old script "got_hit" and I checked if the player that was hit/shot is local player. Try it.

Maybe this event is triggered only when player is streamed in? Otherwise it wouldn't be possible to make scripts that cause damage in shooter's, not victim's side.

I want to make an RPG script without sync issues, i.e. when someone is hit with an katana, the one who hit him gets his wanted level increased.

At the moment it is almost completely random if you hit him or not, especially when you drive a car through a crowded area.

Phat Looser, then this script can be made server-side... onPlayerDamage is triggered every time that player is hit (any player). If you want to make a custom wanted level script then you could use triggerClientEvent to show him more "wanted level stars".

The problem is, when I am driving and someone stands nearby, I am dodging him and do NOT hit him on my own computer - sometimes it still adds me wanted level.

This is a bit inconvenient.

but those are sync issues from MTA itself, you can't really do much about it.

It's because you actually hit him because damage is controlled on computer of attacked player.

You don't actually hit him, the guy gets hit by you.

Contradictory, isn't it ?
