Hello community ,,

i have a problem. i'm making a police job script, my problem is the police when arresting someone.. i made the event onPlayerDamage. the proble is that i want it not getting warped to the jail from only on hit from the nightstick i want it from 3 or 4 or whatever hits .. should i change the event ? should i change somethings in the function ? i hope someone can help. thanks

You can check how Slothman did it in this script.

well i checked ur link and downloaded the script but understood nothing .. where is the part that checking how many hits done to the source or theprisoner ?

function rodneykingcheck ( attacker, weapon, bodypart, loss ) 
    if (attacker) and (weapon == 3) then     
        if getElementParent(attacker) == kingCOP then 
            local thecop = attacker 
            local theprisoner = source 
            local wlevel = getPlayerWantedLevel( source )    
            if (getElementData ( theprisoner, "currentstatus" ) ~= "underarrest") and (wlevel > 0) then  
                if (getElementData ( attacker, "currentarrests" ) ~= "single" ) and (getElementData ( attacker, "currentarrests" ) ~= "double" ) then    
                    setElementData ( thecop, "currentarrests", "single" ) 
                    triggerClientEvent(thecop,"copdirections",thecop) 
                elseif (getElementData ( attacker, "currentarrests" ) == "single" ) then 
                    setElementData ( thecop, "currentarrests", "double" )    
                end 
                setElementData ( theprisoner, "currentstatus", "underarrest" ) 
                setElementData ( theprisoner, "captor", thecop ) 
                showCursor ( source, true ) 
                toggleAllControls ( source, false, true, false ) 
                walktheprisoner ( thecop, theprisoner ) 
                setElementData ( theprisoner, "arrestTimeout", setTimer ( freetheguy, 180000, 1, theprisoner )) 
            end 
        end 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerDamage", getRootElement(), rodneykingcheck ) 

i want anyone help me with a simple example not a whole script .. Thanks

Here is an example:

function checkPoliceArrest( attacker, weapon, bodypart, loss ) 
    -- if there is an attacker and the weapon is a nightstick or a knife 
    if attacker and (weapon == 3 or weapon == 4) then 
  
        -- Do your stuff here 
  
    end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerDamage", root, checkPoliceArrest )

Citizen, as i said i want it not from 1 hit, the ex you wrote will do my stuff from only 1 hit by nightstick i want it do my stuff from 2 or more hits by nightstick not only one. thanks

Sorry, was replying to your initial post.

Hum you have to use an element data. Here is how I see it:

if the player is hitted by a nightstick used by a cop then 
    get the element data on source for the key "policeHits" or 0 
    add 1 to the hit count 
    if the hit count >= 2 then --you can change the hit count here 
        send him in jail 
    else 
        save the hit count in the element data in "policeHits" 
        get the element data on source for the key "policeHitsTimer" 
        if the timer ~= false and if the timer we got is a real timer then 
            kill the timer 
        end if 
        set a timer to call a function that will reset the element data "policeHits" to 0 
        save that timer in the element data under the key "policeHitsTimer" 
    end if 
end if

Citizen thanks. but can you please write an example in lua ? i just got it 50%, can u write it in lua and real functions to get it 100% ?. thanks , btw dont forget to add the event . thanks very much

[Citizen]

Haha no. You just have to translate it. It will be a good exercise for a beginner like you.

[Hell-Mate]

its okay, i will try to translate it, but what event should i add ?

[Citizen]

addEventHandler ( "onPlayerDamage", root, checkPoliceArrest )
