onClientPlayerDamage - executes 1-4 times

[srslyyyy]

Hey, i have noticed a problem with that event. Weapons which cause explosions, for example: 51, 19, as topic say execute 1-4 times. Any idea how to fix it? Another question associated with this, it's possible/worth to move damage system (functions) on server side?

It happens mostly with car explosion, example function below. 

function damage(attacker, weapon, bodypart, loss)
	cancelEvent()
	outputChatBox(weapon)
end
addEventHandler("onClientPlayerDamage", getLocalPlayer(), damage)

Not really. It probably has multiple damage layers.

2.

You can't cancel damage serverside, as that event triggers much too late. There is connection delay (ping). By the time you reset the health, the player might have been (insta) killed already.

 

Possible solution for an overwrite:

cancelEvent()

bump.

Still looking for fix, it's annoying when player got double damage from just only one explosion...

Use a timer or getTickCount to create a delay if the damage is 51 or 19
