OnPlayerDamage check if has armor

[knightscript]

Hello, im trying to create a new damage system, first by Setting all weapon´s properties damage to 0, and afterwards, and then getelementdata of the player, if he is in group "Everyone" then get the damage in the element, etc, but what I want to do is this:

1.) check if the player has armor, 2.) if he has armor, check how much is it, 3.) if the damage specified in getelementdata of the attacker is for example, 20, and the player has 10% armor, i want to be able to remove 10% armor and 10% health. I don´t know if im explaining myself. I hope yes, what functions should i use? thanks.

getElementData 
getPedArmor 
setPedArmor 
getElementHealth 
setElementHealth 

That's most likely everything you should use.

Alright, thanks, one more thing, when i set all weapons properties damage to 0, also the accuracy goes to maximum, do you know how can i fix this?

[knightscript]

hey tosfera, if for example, i have shoot a player with 100% health and 10% armor, and my weapon does 20% per shot, how can set it to delete the players armor and if there is any number of damage left, remove it from the health?

What you could do is check if the amount going off of the armor (ex. 20) is greater then the remaining armor (ex. 10).

Then do; (if 20 > 10 then), In that case you could do (20 - 10) and then 10 is your difference. Set armor to 0 and take the remaining 10 off of the health.

Example in LUA (might not be the best solution)

function damageFunc (attacker, attackerweapon, bodypart, loss) 
   cancelEvent() -- Not sure but I think if not cancelling it the damage is doubled 
   local armor = getPedArmor(source) -- example. no armor, armor is 0 
  
   if (loss > armor) then 
      loss = loss - armor -- Loss example 20, loss = 20 - 0 = 20 
      setPedArmor(source, 0)  
      setElementHealth(source, (getElementHealth(source) - loss) -- health - 20 
   else 
      setPedArmor(source, (armor - loss)) 
   end 
end 
  
addEventHandler("onPlayerDamage", getRootElement(), damageFunc)

Nice ViRuZ, i will test it out, so canceling the event would null the damage by default right? that is great, because i was having problems with setweaponproperty!

setWeaponProperty requires more than just editing the damage. You can better cancel the event and create a table in lua with all the weapons and their damages. Just know that if you want to make it more realistic, you should count in body parts too.

I was actually thinking the same but thought that the weapon property would be easier.
