[Help] Head Damage

[Lorder]

How do I let a player get more damage from the head? @IIYAMA

[WorthlessCynomys]

You detect the hit, check if it was on the head, get the loss, multiply it for example then set the element's health.

Give me wiki pls

--CLIENT

local headshotDamage = 200 -- damage to take when the player is shot in the head

function onPlayerHeadshot( attacker, _, bodypart )
  if not ( bodypart == 9 ) then return false end -- check if the player has been hit in the head
  if not ( getElementType( attacker ) == "player" ) then return false end -- check if the attacker is a player
  
  local playerHealth = getElementHealth( source ) -- get the player's health
  setElementHealth( source, playerHealth - headshotDamage ) -- set the player's new health
  
  cancelEvent() --cancel the event
end 
addEventHandler( "onClientPlayerDamage", getRootElement(), onPlayerHeadshot )

I'm trying Thx <3 

[Lorder]

@*BeaT* It did not work

[IIYAMA]

function onPlayerHeadshot( attacker, _, bodypart, loss )

local playerOriginalHealth = getElementHealth( source ) + loss -- get the player's original health
local newHealth = math.max(playerHealth - headshotDamage, 0)
setElementHealth( localPlayer, newHealth) -- set the player's new health

 

You have to add the loss back to get the original health. In this case it doesn't really matter since the damage is 200, but if you want to use values lower than 200, you will need to add that.

If you put the health under 0, it will do strange things.(reset etc.)

 

 

---

addEventHandler( "onClientPlayerDamage", localPlayer, onPlayerHeadshot )

You can't set other players their health with success, only that one of the localPlayer. So we only have to check the localPlayer.

 

 

---

cancelEvent()

No need for cancelling.

 

 

Keep in mind that this can get bugged under strange occasions. Because of the GTA engine.

If this doesn't work, post the updated code.

@IIYAMA

I did it right but I did not work

local playerOriginalHealth = getElementHealth( source ) + loss -- get the player's original health
local newHealth = math.max(playerHealth - headshotDamage, 0)

function onPlayerHeadshot( attacker, _, bodypart, loss )
  if not ( bodypart == 9 ) then return false end -- check if the player has been hit in the head
  if not ( getElementType( attacker ) == "player" ) then return false end -- check if the attacker is a player
  
  local playerHealth = getElementHealth( source ) -- get the player's health
  setElementHealth( localPlayer, newHealth) -- set the player's new health
  
end 
addEventHandler( "onClientPlayerDamage", getRootElement(), onPlayerHeadshot )

 

[IIYAMA]

Did you?

You should have warnings/errors at the moment, so I don't think so.

 

 

1. Replace line 8 with line 1 and 2. (of your updated code)
2. Replace line 12 with the line that looks similar. (from my code)

And show the updated code.

Can you help me in this business is new?

Try harder.

You are not coding at the moment, you are simple moving lines.

 

[Lorder]

 local playerHealth = getElementHealth( source ) -- get the player's health

function onPlayerHeadshot( attacker, _, bodypart, loss )
  if not ( bodypart == 9 ) then return false end -- check if the player has been hit in the head
  if not ( getElementType( attacker ) == "player" ) then return false end -- check if the attacker is a player
  
  local playerHealth = getElementHealth( source ) -- get the player's health
  setElementHealth( localPlayer, newHealth) -- set the player's new health
  
end 
addEventHandler( "onClientPlayerDamage", localPlayer, onPlayerHeadshot )

How can I find out? Please give me the code 1 I promise you I will try hard to find out

function onPlayerHeadshot( attacker, _, bodypart, loss )

@IIYAMA I did it but it doesn't get much damage same

[IIYAMA]

function onPlayerHeadshot( attacker, _, bodypart, loss )
	if not ( bodypart == 9 ) then return false end -- check if the player has been hit in the head
	if not attacker or not ( getElementType( attacker ) == "player" ) then return false end -- check if the attacker is a player

	local playerOriginalHealth = getElementHealth( source ) + loss -- get the player's original health
	local newHealth = math.max(playerOriginalHealth - headshotDamage, 0)
	setElementHealth( localPlayer, newHealth) -- set the player's new health
  	
  	iprint("playerOriginalHealth:", playerOriginalHealth, ", newHealth:", newHealth)
end 
addEventHandler( "onClientPlayerDamage", localPlayer, onPlayerHeadshot )

 

debug it and show results.

yea, that explains a lot.

Run the script clientside, not serverside.

 

1. Make a backup of the meta.xml (so can mess it up)
2. Open the meta.xml

3. <script src="scriptName.lua" /> change to: <script src="scriptName.lua" type="client"/>

4. Restart the resource.

There are no faults, but no more damage

[IIYAMA]

You edited line 7, that is a bit sloppy of you. If you put that to 90, the health can never be lower than 90.

If you want it to work, change it back to the code I gave you.

 

My code:

local newHealth = math.max(playerOriginalHealth - headshotDamage, 0)

 

Your code:

local newHealth = math.max(playerOriginalHealth - headshotDamage, 90)

I tried, but it didn't work, no bugs

[IIYAMA]

 

 

I did test the code without this part:

	if not ( bodypart == 9 ) then return false end -- check if the player has been hit in the head
	if not attacker or not ( getElementType( attacker ) == "player" ) then return false end -- check if the attacker is a player

Just to check if it is working (because I didn't have a dummy to test it on). It did work.

 

 

If you disable that, will it give you an insta-kill when you receive any damage?

If not, then you have :Oed it up somewhere along the way.

I try, but he does not get much damage from his head

function onPlayerHeadshot( attacker, _, bodypart, loss )

	local playerOriginalHealth = getElementHealth( source ) + loss -- get the player's original health
	local newHealth = math.max(playerOriginalHealth - headshotDamage, 0)
	setElementHealth( localPlayer, newHealth) -- set the player's new health
  	
  	iprint("playerOriginalHealth:", playerOriginalHealth, ", newHealth:", newHealth)
end 
addEventHandler( "onClientPlayerDamage", localPlayer, onPlayerHeadshot )

answer my question.
