"onClientPlayerWeaponFire" Trouble

[ElexTron Software]

Hello!

I am trying to make it so that:

A) Every time a player fires a Silenced Pistol, a Satchel is placed at the pistol's target.

B) Every time the Satchel Detonator is used, a detonation sound is played.

I have made a script for this, but it is not working:

client.lua

-- This function gets triggered everytime player shoots.
function onClientPlayerWeaponFireFunc(weapon,ammo,ammoInClip,hitX,hitY,hitZ,hitElement)
if weapon == 23 then -- If Silenced Pistol is Used...
local aimSpot = getPedTarget(getLocalPlayer())
if aimSpot then
createProjectile(getLocalPlayer(),39,getElementPosition(aimSpot)) then -- Then Create a Satchel at Target if Targeting
outputChatBox("Satchel Created", source)
else
outputChatBox("no target!", source)
end
end
 
if weapon == 40 then -- If Satchel Detonator is Used...
local satchSnd = playSound("detonate.mp3") -- Play Detonation Sound
end
end
 
-- Don't forget to add the onClientPlayerWeaponFireFunc function as a handler for onClientPlayerWeaponFire.
addEventHandler("onClientPlayerWeaponFire", getLocalPlayer(), onClientPlayerWeaponFireFunc)

I have a folder named modweapons where I put my three files in it; the script above, detonate.mp3, and this meta.xml file:

<meta>
  <info type="script" author="Cecil G. Bowen" Version="1.0" name="ModWeapons" />
  <script src="script.lua" type="client" />
  <file src="detonate.mp3" />
</meta>

Help would be really appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

I have made a script for this, but it is not working:

what exactly is not working? any errors?

Well when I run it and start the resource no message is displayed whatsoever, whether a Satchel was placed or not, and no sound is played when I use the Satchel Detonator.

EDIT: But no, no errors show up on the Console.

there is some redundancy to your script, using OnClientPlayerWeaponFire alows you with args for weapon, ammo, ammoInClip, hitX, hitY, hitZ, and hitElement.

so no need to get target since its already supplied xyz coords and if you hit an element it gives you the element.

Thanks but that still doesn't solve the problem.

Okay I just edited the code a little and this works, though it is more limited:

function onClientPlayerWeaponFireFunc(weapon, ammo, ammoInClip, hitX, hitY, hitZ, hitElement )
if weapon == 23 and getElementType(hitElement)=="vehicle" then -- If the player shoots with a minigun, and hits another player...
createProjectile(getLocalPlayer(),39,hitX,hitY,hitZ)
end
end
-- Add this as a handler so that the function will be triggered every time the local player fires.
addEventHandler ( "onClientPlayerWeaponFire", getLocalPlayer(), onClientPlayerWeaponFireFunc )
