Player Velocity help.

[attemptIt]

Yeah, yes I did try. And yes I'm new at scripting so please help me.

This is what I got up to and currently it doesn't work.

function joinHandler ( ) 
    local x = 0.0 
    local y = 0.0 
    local z = 10.0 
    spawnPlayer     ( source, x, y, z ) 
    fadeCamera      ( source, true ) 
    setCameraTarget ( source, source ) 
    outputChatBox   ( "Welcome to survivalServer RC:1.00", source ) 
    bindKey         ( source, "delete", "both", attackHandler ( tPlayer ) ) 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerJoin", getRootElement ( ), joinHandler ) 
  
function loadThings ( ) 
    setGlitchEnabled ( "quickreload", true ) 
    setGlitchEnabled ( "fastmove", true ) 
    setGlitchEnabled ( "fastfire", true ) 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onResourceStart", getResourceRootElement ( ), loadThings ) 
  
function createVehicleForPlayer ( tPlayer, command, vehicleModel ) 
    local x, y, z = getElementPosition ( tPlayer ) 
    x = x + 1 
    local cvID = CreateVehicle ( tonumber ( vehicleModel ), x, y, z ) 
    if ( cvID == false ) 
    then 
        outputchatBox ( "Failed to create vehicle. ", tPlayer ) 
    end 
end 
addCommandHandler ( "createmevehicle", createVehicleForPlayer ) 
  
function attackHandler ( tPlayer ) 
    local players = getElementsByType ( "player" ) 
    local distance = -1 
    local x, y, z = -1 
    local ang 
    for theKey, thePlayer in ipairs ( players )  
    do 
        distance = getDistanceBetweenPoints3D ( getElementPosition ( thePlayer ), getElementPosition ( tPlayer ) ) 
        if ( distance < 1.0 ) 
        then 
            setElementHealth ( thePlayer, getElementHealth ( thePlayer ) - 10 ) 
            x, y, z = getElementPosition ( thePlayer ) 
            setElementVelocity ( thePlayer, x, y, z + 5.0 ) 
        end 
    end 
end 

At the setting velocity part I was trying to make the player fly back. So its something like that.

Make them fly back. Please help me.

what is this?

 x, y, z = getElementPosition ( thePlayer) 
 setElementVelocity ( thePlayer, x, y, z + 5.0 ) 

Velocity is a vector and you used coordinates as argument...

you should make the attackHandler function clientside (players are always synced, so don't worry) and use the getElementMatrix (https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/GetElementMatrix) function to calculate the vector

 

  
x, y, z = getElementPosition ( thePlayer) 
local matrix = getElementMatrix ( theplayer ) 
local offX = 0 * matrix[1][1] - 2 * matrix[2][1] + 2 * matrix[3][1] + matrix[4][1] 
local offY = 0 * matrix[1][2] - 2 * matrix[2][2] + 2 * matrix[3][2] + matrix[4][2] 
local offZ = 0 * matrix[1][3] - 2 * matrix[2][3] + 2 * matrix[3][3] + matrix[4][3] 
setElementVelocity ( thePlayer, offX - x, offY -y ,offZ -z) 
  

my code may not be correct, but experiment with it

Okay, thank you.
