[Solved] Damage canceling

[ManeXi]

I want to cancel damage in every weapon with some exceptions, but because god wanted RPG(35) and RPG-HS(36) can't be exceptions.

function cancelPedDamage ( attacker, weapon ) --This is to cancel the damage 
    if not (weapon == 16) or (weapon == 35) or (weapon == 36) then 
        cancelEvent() 
    end 
    outputChatBox("Player Weapon is: "..getPedWeapon(attacker, weapon).."") 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onClientPedDamage", getRootElement(), cancelPedDamage ) 
addEventHandler ( "onClientPlayerDamage", getRootElement(), cancelPedDamage ) 

In other words, damage is not cancelled in Grenade(16) but yes in RPG(35) and in RPG-HS(36)

And for another unknown reason I can't output the weapon that the attacker used it puts:

ERROR: damage_c.lua:5: attempt to concatenate a boolean value

this

.."" 

isn't needed only if you want to continue a string afterwards.

getPedWeapon's 2nd argument is weapon SLOT and you provide the weapon ID, that's not the same.

No, sir.

weapon: An integer representing the weapon ID the attacker used

And I still getting the output error

if attacker then

    if attacker then 
        if not (weapon == 16) or (weapon == 35) or (weapon == 36)  then 
            cancelEvent()

end 
addEventHandler ( "onClientPedDamage", getRootElement(), cancelPedDamage ) 
addEventHandler ( "onClientPlayerDamage", getRootElement(), cancelPedDamage ) 

this is my code now, I don't care much about Ped's weapon, but still canceling RPG and RPG-HS damage, I have tried to put special IDs like explosions etc... but nothing

[IIYAMA]

Explosion damage can't be cancelled, because the weapon is most of the time unknown.

Unless you write a system, that replaces the damage dealing.

Couldn't you cancel the shoot event if getPedTarget equals a player?

[IIYAMA]

Explosions are splash damage and not bullet damage. The use of getPedTarget won't help you.

Only a GTA san damage overwrite would.

Instead of making a list of exceptions(Grenade, RPG...) I made a list of all the weapons I want to be their damage canceled, now is working, thanks alot, this can be set as solved.

I know but what I ment was if the bullet wasn't fired there wouldn't be no splash damage, so wouldn't it be better to cancel the shooting instead of cancelling the damage and still having the explosion.
