Modify directly player loss dmg

I wish to modify the value "loss" manually. Is that possible for me to do?

You could cancel the onPlayerDamage event and then deal damage based on attacker weapon / damage type.

This should give you a decent idea.

local damageTypes = { --table of damage types / weapons of which you want to adjust player damage dealt.
  {"Fall", 50}, --damage type, -health to deal
  {"Ranover", 75},
  {"Dildo", 500}
}

function customPlayerDamage(attacker, weapon, bodypart, loss)
  for i=1,#damageTypes do
    if weapon == damageTypes[i][1] then --if the current attacker's weapon/damage type is in damageTypes
       cancelEvent() --stops MTA handling of damage
       local playerHealth = getElementHealth(source) --get the players health (player is source of the event)
       setElementHealth(source, playerHealth - damageTypes[i][2]) --set it to current health minus the value in damageTypes
    end
  end
end
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerDamage", getRootElement (), customPlayerDamage )

For the damageTypes table, you can refer to the attacker weapon and damage types on the wiki.

I thought I would possibly need to use setElementHealth, that's what i started now. Thanks.

you can't cancel this event on server side to stop damage, you have to do this through client side.

@Fist oh, wasn't aware of that.

Simple fix.

Also weapon/damage needed to be the ID not name

local damageTypes = { --table of damage types / weapons of which you want to adjust player damage dealt.
  {54, 50}, --damage type id/weapon id, -health to deal
  {50, 75},
  {10, 500}
}

function customPlayerDamage(attacker, weapon, bodypart, loss)
  for i=1,#damageTypes do
    if weapon == damageTypes[i][1] then --if the current attacker's weapon/damage type is in damageTypes
       cancelEvent() --stops MTA handling of damage
       local playerHealth = getElementHealth(source) --get the players health (player is source of the event)
       setElementHealth(source, playerHealth - damageTypes[i][2]) --set it to current health minus the value in damageTypes
    end
  end
end
addEventHandler ( "onClientPlayerDamage", getLocalPlayer(), customPlayerDamage )
