OnPlayerDamage

This event is triggered when a player is damaged, in any way.

• It should be noted that this event is not triggered when attacked by a team member if friendly fire is enabled.
• It should also be noted that canceling this event has no effect. Cancel onClientPlayerDamage instead (clientside).

Syntax

void onPlayerDamage ( player attacker, int attackerweapon, int bodypart, float loss )        

Variables

• attacker: A player element representing the player who was the attacker. If there was no attacker this returns false.
• attackerweapon: An integer representing the weapon the attacker used to kill the player
• bodypart: An integer representing the bodypart ID the player was hit on when he died.

• 3: Torso
• 4: Ass
• 5: Left Arm
• 6: Right Arm
• 7: Left Leg
• 8: Right Leg

• loss: A float representing the percentage of health the player lost.

Example

This example causes an instant kill when a player is shot in the head, and announces it in the chatbox.

--add an event handler for the onPlayerDamage event
function playerDamage_text ( attacker, weapon, bodypart, loss ) --when a player is damaged
	if ( bodypart == 9 ) then -- if the body part is 9, i.e. the head
            outputChatBox ( "Headshot!", getRootElement (), 255, 170, 0 ) --output "Headshot" into the chatbox
	    killPlayer ( source, attacker, weapon, bodypart ) -- and kill the player
	end
end
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerDamage", getRootElement (), playerDamage_text )
