[Help] createExplosion -- No damage

[Perfect]

Hi all, I am back to MTA after long time. I am trying to refresh my scripting skills. I make a simple script which will create an explosion at player, which will not damage him/her. But Somehow Players are getting damage.

Here is my script,

function des ( player ) 
    local pX, pY, pZ = getElementPosition ( player ) 
    createExplosion ( pX, pY, pZ, 6, true, -1.0, false ) 
end 
addCommandHandler ( "Boom", des )

Using the function will damage the player, if you don't want them to get damaged you should cancel the onPlayerDamage or onClientPlayerDamage whenever it is an explosion. Please note that exploding vehicles, grenades, RPG's and such will not work anymore too.

The damage argument only works for client side explosions.

I can't get an idea on how to do that!

The damage argument only works for client side explosions.

Well, I changed my script to client (in meta) but when i did that there is no explosion at all.

addEventHandler ( "onClientPlayerDamage", root, 
    function ( theWeapon ) 
        if ( theWeapon == 16 ) then -- if it's an grenade, just for an example. 
            cancelEvent(); 
        end 
    end 
); 

After that, change the 6 in your explosion to 0

If you are using that same code in the client side, it won't work, because addCommandHandler has no player argument client side, use "localPlayer" instead at getElementPosition.

Try this:

function des() 
        local x,y,z = getElementPosition ( source ) 
        createExplosion ( x, y, z - 0.2, 2, false, true, false ) 
end 
addCommandHandler ( "Boom", des ) 

[Castillo]

'source' is not defined.

function des() 
        local x,y,z = getElementPosition ( localPlayer ) 
        createExplosion(x, y, z, 0, true, -1.0, false) 
end 
addCommandHandler ( "Boom", des )
