Question

[MrSecreto07]

Hello Community!

I have a question and I would like to know who helps me ...

Is there a way to make a script for a player to die when hit by a vehicle?

In case if it can be done, I would like you to tell me the functions I need to do it.

I guess you could use onClientVehicleCollision but I think that it will trigger on any contact, even if the player runs to the vehicle and touches it. You just have to test it and maybe use the "force" parameter.

You can use onPlayerDamage.

addEventHandler( "onPlayerDamage", root, 
	function (attacker, weapon, bodypart, loss)
	  	if isElement(attacker) and getElementType(attacker) == "vehicle" then
			setElementHealth(source, 0)
		end
	end
)

Here's a good example of how to check vehicle's speed, which is useful unless you want players to die from a vehicle hitting them at 1 km/h.  

addEventHandler( "onPlayerDamage", root, 
	function (attacker, weapon, bodypart, loss)
	  	if isElement(attacker) and getElementType(attacker) == "vehicle" then
      		local speedx, speedy, speedz = getElementVelocity (attacker)
			local actualspeed = (speedx^2 + speedy^2 + speedz^2)^(0.5)
			local kmh = actualspeed * 180
      		if kmh > 50 then
				setElementHealth(source, 0)
			end
		end
	end
)
