Prevent vehicle explosions

[cokacola]

Hi. I'd like to stop vehicles exploding and rather just leave them on fire(or low health) to disable them.

Unfortunately, no matter how much I try, I cannot stop them exploding.

Do I need to hook a clientside event for this and cancel it or what?

[Walid]

here you go :

function cancelExplode() 
    cancelEvent() 
end 
addEventHandler("onVehicleExplode", root, cancelExplode)

Tried that, can't seem to cancel the explode event.

Went clientside and canceled the onClientVehicleDamage if the health was below a certain point though.

Did this:

  
function handleVehicleDamage(attacker, weapon, loss, x, y, z, tyre) 
    if getElementHealth(source) < 250 or (getElementHealth(source)-loss) < 250 then 
        setElementHealth(source, 250) 
        cancelEvent() 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientVehicleDamage", root, handleVehicleDamage) 
  

In case anyone else wants to know how.

setVehicleDamageProof(getPedOccupiedVehicle(Player),false) 

[Anubhav]

setVehicleDamageProof(getPedOccupiedVehicle(Player),false) 

Its already solved

I didn't know, but okay.

You can also prevent the explosions of the vehicles, but this will not prevent them to be able blown.

You can cancel:

4: Car  
5: Car Quick 
6: Boat 
7: Heli  

local cancelTheseTypes = { 
    [4]=true, 
    [5]=true, 
    [6]=true, 
    [7]=true 
} 
  
addEventHandler("onClientExplosion",root, 
function (x,y,z,theType) 
    if cancelTheseTypes[theType] then 
        cancelEvent() 
    end 
end) 

Note: sometimes heli/planes explode using the rocket explosion. (happens when they are already exploded and they get rammed/hit by anything.
