Example

This example implements custom gunshot sounds.

local playerWeaponSounds = {
	[22] = "sounds/weap/colt45.wav",
	[23] = "sounds/weap/silenced.wav",
	[24] = "sounds/weap/deagle.wav",
	[25] = "sounds/weap/shotgun.wav",
	[26] = "sounds/weap/sawed-off.wav",
	[27] = "sounds/weap/combat shotgun.wav",
	[28] = "sounds/weap/uzi.wav",
	[30] = "sounds/weap/ak-47.wav",
	[31] = "sounds/weap/m4.wav",
	[32] = "sounds/weap/tec9.wav",
	[34] = "sounds/weap/sniper.wav",
}

local function playCustomWeaponSound(weaponID)
	local playerWeaponSoundPath = playerWeaponSounds[weaponID]

	if (not playerWeaponSoundPath) then
		return false
	end

	local playerMuzzleX, playerMuzzleY, playerMuzzleZ = getPedWeaponMuzzlePosition(source)
	local playerWeaponSound = playSound3D(playerWeaponSoundPath, playerMuzzleX, playerMuzzleY, playerMuzzleZ)

	if (not playerWeaponSound) then
		return false
	end

	setSoundMaxDistance(playerWeaponSound, 90)
	setSoundVolume(playerWeaponSound, 0.6)
end
addEventHandler("onClientPlayerWeaponFire", root, playCustomWeaponSound)

This example sends a warning to the local player if they shoot another player with a minigun.

--First, we create a function for the event handler to use.
function onClientPlayerWeaponFireFunc(weapon, ammo, ammoInClip, hitX, hitY, hitZ, hitElement )
    if weapon == 38 and getElementType(hitElement)=="player" then -- If the player shoots with a minigun, and hits another player...
         outputChatBox ( "Don't kill people with minigun, it's lame!", 255, 0, 0 ) -- We output a warning to him.
    end
end
-- Add this as a handler so that the function will be triggered every time the local player fires.
addEventHandler ( "onClientPlayerWeaponFire", localPlayer, onClientPlayerWeaponFireFunc )

This example makes the Shotgun fire explosive rounds.

function onClientPlayerWeaponFireFunc(weapon, ammo, ammoInClip, hitX, hitY, hitZ, hitElement)
    if (weapon == 25) then -- If the player shoots with a shotgun
        createExplosion(hitX, hitY, hitZ, 12, true, 0, true) -- Creates a tiny explosion where the bullet hit.
    end
end
-- Add this as a handler so that the function will be triggered every time a player fires.
addEventHandler("onClientPlayerWeaponFire", root, onClientPlayerWeaponFireFunc)
