Silenced gun

[Hero192]

Hey all, I want to make the silenced gun take 5HPs on each shoot , How to do that?

Cancel the original damage ( onClientPlayerDamage + cancelEvent ) and use setElementHealth.

Is something like that correct?

function silencedDamageSystem(attacker, weapon, _, loss) 
    if attacker and getElementType(attacker) == "player" and weapon == 23 then 
      cancelEvent() 
     local damage = getElementHealth(localPlayer)+loss-5 
     if damage > 0 then 
     setElementHealth(localPlayer, damage) 
     end 
   end 
end  
addEventHandler("onClientPlayerDamage", localPlayer,silencedDamageSystem)

Or just change the weapon's 'damage' property using

setWeaponProperty

setWeaponProperty 

I know this function but I don't know which parametre should I use to change the damage

and Also may I know which way is better this way or solidesnake's way?

setWeaponProperty will change the properties for all the players in the server, which means that if you change the silenced pistol damage, it'll be for everyone.

That's exactly what I want, Can I know which property I've to use in this situation to edit the silenced pistol's damage?

[Mega9]

setWeaponProperty ("silenced", "poor", "damage", xx) 

xx would be float/int of the new damage value

Don't forget other weapon skills (pro & std).

Okay, so 5HPs would be like that?

setWeaponProperty ("silenced", "poor", "damage", 5) 

[Mega9]

Yes.

Last question, What's the usage of this property weapon_range ?

Last question, What's the usage of this property weapon_range ?

I would assume that's the distance of the gun's reach. Think about a rocket, the distance it takes before it explodes. Same goes for a simple gun, to limit the range it can reach.
