Making damage with Hunter MG to Rhino

[Einheit-101]

Hello Community!

I want to write a script that improves the damage system of the rhino (more fragile, making damage with heavy MG`s and so on) but now i dont know how to make damage to the rhino if a Hunter`s machine gun hits the tank because there is no useful function onVehicleWeaponFire that returns a hitElement.

So I want to retrieve when a Hunter is Firing his MG and if this MG hits the Rhino, it should loose 5 health points

like that: setElementHealth(getElementHealth()-5)

So is there anything i can do to damage a rhino with MG`s?

I hope for an Answer

I don't know why, but damage done by MG's, Rockets, is not working, i tryied using onVehicleDamage as a test, and it won't output the health loss, but if i crash him with another vehicle, he do lose health.

Of course. A rhino CAN NOT BE DAMAGED with any weapon except Flamethrowers or Molotovs (Fire.) and you can only damage a rhino with that 2 weapons or if you drive it against a wall. shoot 99999 bullets of a minigun on a rhino. he still has 1001 HP.

i only know how to do it with rockets:

you maus use the onClientExplosion event, and check if the explosion is near rihno, than you damage the tank by getElementHealth,setElementHealth (helth functions should be used serverside, so you will ned some custom events as well)

I've done this script for you, this set's the rhino health when you hit it with a weapon (ex: M4), grenades, rockets won't work as i can see.

--server side

addEvent("setTheTankHealth",true) 
addEventHandler("setTheTankHealth",getRootElement(), 
function(tank) 
setElementHealth(tank, getElementHealth(tank) - 5) 
end 
) 

--client side

addEventHandler ( "onClientPlayerWeaponFire", getLocalPlayer(), 
function (weapon, ammo, ammoInClip, hitX, hitY, hitZ, hitElement ) 
    if (hitElement) then 
    if getElementType(hitElement) == "vehicle" then 
    if getElementModel(hitElement) == 432 then 
    triggerServerEvent("setTheTankHealth",getLocalPlayer(),hitElement) 
    end 
     end 
   end 
end)

Hmm yes but a Hunter/seasparrow/Rustler MG is not able to damage the Rhino and that is what i want to do^^ There is no function at the moment that retrieves an "hitElement" for "onVehicleFire" because its still in development^^

You can use this custom event: https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/OnVehicleWeaponFire

Then to detect if its targeting a rhino you could use for example: https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/GetCameraMatrix

This is a very hacky way but the best I can think of and also would only work if they happen to be looking right at whatever they're shooting.
