Any reason why fists dont respond to ScalePlayerDamage?

[Triple-X]

Like the title says, it seems like the fists that come with gmod arent affected by GM:ScalePlayerDamage and hitgroups arent taken into effect either. Is there a reason for this or am I missing something?

Maybe that's because I didn't use bullets for them, but a trace attack?

[Triple-X]

So no way around that?

ScalePlayerDamage is called [b]when a player takes damage[/b]
it doesn't matter whether it uses bullets or not

Thats what i thought which i was i was confused when nothing happened :v:

[tyguyer]

hook.Add("ScalePlayerDamage", "porn", function(ply,hit,dmg)
local attacker = dmg:GetAttacker()
    if attacker:GetActiveWeapon():GetClass() == "fists" then --Might have to edit this, I have no clue how to check for weapons
    dmg:ScaleDamage(5000000000000000000000)
    end
end )

As a last resort, you could always recreate a copy of the fists weapon in your gamemode/addon

Just copy [url]https://github.com/garrynewman/garrysmod/blob/master/garrysmod/lua/weapons/weapon_fists.lua[/url]
