onClientPlayerWeaponFire

[roaddog]

Due to this https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/On ... WeaponFire event does not work on melee weapon.

How can I make a simple function that does the trick for it?

I want to detect a player who hits an element using shovel weapon.

Thanks.

Use onClientPlayerDamage.

Maybe onClientPlayerDamage? EDIT: JR10 was faster

[roaddog]

No, I mean, The source of this event is the element that got damaged.

[JR10]

onClientPlayerDamage provides the attacker and his weapon as an argument.

[xeon17]

And what's the problem?

the element is an object. I found this https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/On ... jectDamage, and I got an error says source is nil? eventho the element was created.

function outputLoss(loss) 
    if not isElement(source) then return end 
    if getElementModel(source) ~= 897 then return end 
    local oldHealth = getElementHealth(source) 
    local hitX, hitY, hitZ = getElementPosition(source) 
    setTimer(function() 
        local newHealth = getElementHealth(source) 
        outputChatBox("Real loss: "..(newHealth-oldHealth)) 
        outputChatBox("Theoretical loss: "..loss) 
        if getElementHealth(source) == 0 then 
            destroyElement(source) 
            createExplosion(hitX, hitY, hitZ, 8, true, -1.0, false) 
        end 
    end,100,1) 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientObjectDamage", root, outputLoss)

You're using source inside the timer function, source is only defined inside the handler function.

Just define a player variable that points to the source. Or you can send the source as an argument to the timer function.

function outputLoss(loss) 
    if not isElement(source) then return end 
    if getElementModel(source) ~= 897 then return end 
    local oldHealth = getElementHealth(source) 
    local hitX, hitY, hitZ = getElementPosition(source) 
    local object = source 
    setTimer(function() 
        local newHealth = getElementHealth(object) 
        outputChatBox("Real loss: "..(newHealth-oldHealth)) 
        outputChatBox("Theoretical loss: "..loss) 
        if getElementHealth(object) == 0 then 
            destroyElement(object) 
            createExplosion(hitX, hitY, hitZ, 8, true, -1.0, false) 
        end 
    end,100,1) 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientObjectDamage", root, outputLoss)
