[Tuto] To correctly handle custom weapon hit

[Dommy]

There is just few lines of code to paste in events loop. It handles automatically +1 effect and sends unknown weapon hit notice

Everything can be found here:

So, AddPlayerArmor() is a solution? Time to check

[phil13hebert]

I can confirm that it works
Thank you for this ! I was needing this so much !

No Problem

Ahah I guess that'll work better with AddPlayerArmor() than armor -= damage

Thanks

Just few questions because I'm curious and not home so I can't try

What exactly the AddPlayerArmor function does?
-Does it display the +1 orange/yellow message?
-If two consecutives +1 occur, does it make a +2 and so on?
-Does it trigger a hit sound?
-Does it display "player1 hit player2" on the side?
-Does it round Points to integer and Damage to hundred? (for instance if a weapon makes 182 damages, does it remove 1, 2 or 1.82 armors?)
-Does the victim get this strange orange filter on the border of the screen that indicates he's been hit?
-And finally, what do you mean by "it sends unknown weapon hit notice"?

I'll give answers if you don't know as soon as I'm home.

What exactly the AddPlayerArmor function does?

It adds 1 or many armor to the player. If you put a negative number, it removes armor.

-Does it display the +1 orange/yellow message?

Yes. Orange when you hit and yellow when you kill (or the inverse).

-If two consecutives +1 occur, does it make a +2 and so on?

Yes

-Does it trigger a hit sound?

Yes

-Does it display "player1 hit player2" on the side?

Yes

-Does it round Points to integer and Damage to hundred? (for instance if a weapon makes 182 damages, does it remove 1, 2 or 1.82 armors?)

I don't know. I didn't test.

-Does the victim get this strange orange filter on the border of the screen that indicates he's been hit?

I dind't test either.

-And finally, what do you mean by "it sends unknown weapon hit notice"?

He means that with the AddPlayerArmor, the notices (to the left of the screen and +1, +2, etc.) are working with custom weapons.
ShooterPoints is only working for normal weapons for the moment so this workaround is realy useful.

You're awesome!

Do you know a way to handle energy of the weapon? To create a fast reload for a hit or to pause the reload etc. Has it to be done in the weapon script?

Same question about timers. Can we modify for instance the energy cost during a game?

[Dommy]

We didn't found any way to customize amount of ammo, only one thing possible is change the reload and damage. If we found working solution I'll create a new topic with how-to.

About ammo removing with damage example 50: shooter gets no notice on first hit and (I'm not sure) when victim gets damage that removes armor through round amount (ex. 200) it shows +1. Also victim has natural armor regen (normal, no replenish), so he/she will heal 100 hp in 2.5 seconds.

I used your method in my script and it works fine! Links are in my signature if you want to test

As you said 182 damages makes a +1 and the 82 left are automatically recovered. However if a second shot of 50 damages occurs right after, the +1 becomes a +2.
