custom damage handler

[kaos057]

I am trying to make a full MMO with levels, custom armor/weapons, etc. To do this I need to disable default damage and handle it myself in order to take into consideration extra hitpoints and damage modifiers from the custom gear. I know I can disable the damage on client side using onClientPlayerDamage which works for any self inflicted damage but the server side still does damage.

So is there any way to either stop all damage completely or somehow make a player have more hitpoints than others?

Sorry, you have to add it server-sided, the client side doesn't get effected if you try canceling it.

[kaos057]

Yes I know that. My question was how to do that if its possible. You cant cancel the server sided damage event as far as i know. So is there any other way to completely cancel damage on server side?

if you canceled the event Client-side it should work: onClientPlayerDamage

Try Using this

addEventHandler ( "onPlayerDamage", getRootElement(), cancelEvent ) 

[myonlake]

@X-SHADOW: No.

It should also be noted that canceling this event has no effect. Cancel the client-side event onClientPlayerDamage instead.

@kaos057: Use onClientPlayerDamage.

why it wont work on serverside?

if i try trigger it well work or not ?

How myonlake said, the onPlayerDamage cannot be canceled (has no effect). So, for solve it, can do:

function SetPlayerInvencible(attacker, attackerweapon, bodypart, loss) 
    setElementHealth(source, getElementHealth(source)+loss) 
addEventHandler("onPlayerDamage", getRootElement(), SetPlayerInvencible)

lol i never thougt about this StanleySathler its cool idea !

[Mefisto_PL]

To delete player damage use:

addEventHandler ( "onClientPlayerDamage", getLocalPlayer(), cancelEvent )  

To make another damage , you can try this:

setElementHealth ( source, getElementHealth(source) - 20 )  

-- Example

Oh.. someone write this first : |

You can anyways use triggers from server side and vice versa if your scripts won't work without this.

triggerClientEvent 
triggerServerEvent

There's two ways:

- Use my first example, when you use setElementHealth()

- Use client-side script to use onClientPlayerDamage and trigger using triggerClientEvent().
