[Castillo]

And what's the problem?

[golanu21]

don't work..

[Castillo]

Is it set as server side?

[golanu21]

yes...

You wear the correct skin? and you test it on a real player?

[Castillo]

function skin1 ( ) 
    local skin = getElementModel ( source ) 
    outputChatBox ( "THE SKIN IS: ".. tostring ( skin ) ) 
    if ( skin == 9 ) then 
        setElementHealth ( source, ( getElementHealth ( source ) - 1 ) ) 
    else 
        outputChatBox ( "SKIN ISN'T 9" ) 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerDamage", getRootElement(), skin1 ) 

Try that and see what it outputs to chat when you damage a player.

[golanu21]

[[[THE SKIN IS : 9 ]]] '' but -50 when i fall

[Castillo]

Hold on, you want when the skin is 9, only take 1% of damage and cancel the rest?

[golanu21]

yes

[Castillo]

Then you have to make the script client side, since onPlayerDamage can't be cancelled.

function skin1 ( ) 
    local skin = getElementModel ( source ) 
    if ( skin == 9 ) then 
        cancelEvent ( ) 
        setElementHealth ( source, ( getElementHealth ( source ) - 1 ) ) 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onClientPlayerDamage", localPlayer, skin1 ) 

[golanu21]

not working .. when i fall with skin ID 9 - 30

[Castillo]

You changed the script type on the meta.xml to "client", right?

[IIYAMA]

Unfortunately when you change health of a player the same moment he got damaged, the damage doesn't got cancelled.

I don't know why, but this is the way it works.....

try this:

Client

local damageThePlayer = function () 
    local newHealth = getElementHealth(localPlayer)-1 
    if newHealth > 0 then 
        setElementHealth(localPlayer,newHealth) 
    else 
        setElementHealth(localPlayer,0) 
    end 
end 
  
addEventHandler ( "onClientPlayerDamage",localPlayer, 
function () 
    if getElementModel ( localPlayer ) == 9 then 
        cancelEvent() 
        setTimer(damageThePlayer,50,1) 
    end 
end) 

The delay is 50 ms.
