A little problem with an if statement.

[-Blaze-]

hey guys ,

so i'm trying to make a script which outputs something when you hit a tree.

  
addEventHandler("onClientPlayerWeaponFire", getLocalPlayer(), 
function( weap , ammo, ammoInClip, hitx, hity, hitz, hitElement, startX, startY, startZ) 
if weap == 6 then 
if ( getElementType ( hitElement ) == "object" ) and ( getElementModel ( hitElement ) == 686 ) then 
outputChatBox( "You have hit a  tree" ) 
end 
end 
end 
  
) 
  

normally the output should appear when you hit the tree with a shovel ( ID - 6 ) , but it doesn't happen so.

However , if i remove the " if weap == 6 then " statement , it works for all weapons exept meelee weapons ( shovel , baseball bat etc.)

How can i make it work for meelee weapons too?

Thanks!

i just found a statement on the wiki saying - "This event is called when a player fires a weapon. This does not trigger for projectiles, melee weapons, or camera."

so maybe this function doesen't work for meelee's.

Is there any other way i can make it work? maybe some other function?

i cant use colshapes because i have many trees/objects to check the hit on.

Indeed it doesn't work for melee weapons.

You could bind the fire control to a function which checks if the player has a tree infront of him/her.
