onClientPlayerDamage

[~DarkRacer~]

onClientPlayerDamage doesn't get triggered if the weapon was a spraycan! it was working fine but suddenly it became untriggerable for the spraycan weapon... i tried it on other weapons and it works but on spraycan it won't work.

  
addEventHandler('onClientPlayerDamage', getRootElement(), 
    function(attacker, weapon, bodypart ,loss) 
        outputChatBox('1') 
    end 
) 
  

is this a MTA bug or what?

please try it on your local server and tell me the result.. because my mind will explode soon !

You sure there are no events get cancelled? (in another script)

Never, its working fine but if the attacker's weapon is spraycan it doesn't trigger.

Edit: Please try it on your local server and tell my the result cause i test it on my brother's pc and still the same.

ok very strange.

You can report the bug if you want.

https://bugs.multitheftauto.com/my_view_page.php

But to solve your problem, you can use "onClientPlayerWeaponFire" + getDistanceBetweenPoints3D(because of the strange weapon range)

addEventHandler("onClientPlayerWeaponFire", root, 
function (weapon, ammo, ammoInClip, hitX, hitY, hitZ, hitElement, startX, startY, startZ) 
  
    local attacker = source 
     
    if weapon == 41 then 
        if getDistanceBetweenPoints3D (hitX, hitY, hitZ,startX, startY, startZ) < 3 then -- anti bug 
            outputChatBox('spraycan hit') 
        end 
    else 
        outputChatBox('1') 
    end 
     
     
end) 
  

Or you can use:(this event can cancel the damage/animation)

addEventHandler("onClientPlayerChoke", root, 
function (weapon,attacker) 
    if weapon == 41 then 
        outputChatBox("hit with spraycan > onClientPlayerChoke ") 
    end 
end)

    local attacker = source 
     
    if weapon == 41 then 
        if getDistanceBetweenPoints3D (hitX, hitY, hitZ,startX, startY, startZ) < 3 then -- anti bug 
            outputChatBox('spraycan hit') 
        end 
    else 
        outputChatBox('1') 
    end 
     
     
end) 
  

Thanks you now i get it. but the thing is .. the source get damaged and cancelEvent() has no effect. what's the solution for that?

By using the second example + cancelEvent() of my previous post.

    addEventHandler("onClientPlayerChoke", root, 
    function (weapon,attacker) 
        if weapon == 41 then 
            outputChatBox("hit with spraycan > onClientPlayerChoke ") 
  
  
cancelEvent() 
  
  
        end 
    end) 

You have to read the information better from the event's.

Only events that have information about cancelling events can do that, others cannot.

your code prevent the player from doing the action but it still getting damage!

Check this out

addEventHandler ( "onClientPlayerChoke", localPlayer, 
    function ( weapon ) 
        if ( source ~= localPlayer ) then return end 
        if ( weapon == 41 ) then     
            cancelEvent() 
        end 
    end 
)
