• theAttacker: An element if there was an attacker.
• theWeapon: An integer specifying the weapon ID if a weapon was used.
• loss: A float representing the amount of damage taken.
• damagePosX: A float representing the X co-ordinate of where the damage took place.

Source

The source of this event is the vehicle that got damaged.

Cancel effect

If this event is canceled, the vehicle will not be damaged.

Example

This example makes every SWAT tank immune from all weapon attacks.

function handleVehicleDamage(attacker, weapon, loss, x, y, z, tyre)
    if (weapon and getElementModel(source) == 601) then
        -- A weapon was used and the vehicle model ID is that of the SWAT tank so cancel the damage.
        cancelEvent()
    end
end
addEventHandler("onClientVehicleDamage", root, handleVehicleDamage)

This example allows the Rhino to take damage from bullets even though they're bullet proof, this example doesn't work with explosions though.

-- Only let these weapons damage a Rhino
local weaponsToDamageRhino = {
	[38] = true, -- minigun
	[33] = true, -- country rifle
	[34] = true, -- sniper rifle
	[30] = true, -- AK-47
	[31] = true, -- M4
}

function handleRhinoDamage(attacker, weapon, loss, x, y, z, tyre)
	if (weapon and getElementModel(source) == 432 and loss > 0) then
		if (weaponsToDamageRhino[weapon]) then
			setElementHealth(source, getElementHealth(source) - loss)
		end
	end
end
addEventHandler("onClientVehicleDamage", root, handleRhinoDamage)

This example will prevent your vehicle from taking damage by being lit on fire.

function preventFireDamage_Handler(theAttacker, theWeapon)
	if(theWeapon == 37) then
		cancelEvent()
	end
end
addEventHandler("onClientVehicleDamage", getRootElement(), preventFireDamage_Handler)
