ScalePlayerDamage

[Dark'E]

Hey guys, Im trying to manipulate the damage dealt to players if the attacker is an NPC. This code doesnt seem to work, I would appreciate it if someone helped me out with this. thanks.

function GM:ScalePlayerDamage( ply, hitgroup, dmginfo )
 	if dmginfo:GetAttacker():IsNPC() then
 		dmginfo:SetDamage(100)
 	end
end

You likely need to check if the attacker is valid first,

if IsValid(dmginfo:GetAttacker()) and dmginfo:GetAttacker():IsNPC() then

It might also be helpful if you could post the Lua error you're receiving.

The above code doesnt work and Im not getting any errors.

Here is a scale damage code I put together for my gamemode. All you would have to do is add in if it is a NPC or not. You won't learn if I do all the work for you.

 /*---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scales the players damage based on where shot.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*/

function GM:ScalePlayerDamage(ply, hitgroup, dmginfo)
  
    if (hitgroup == HITGROUP_HEAD) then
 
        dmginfo:ScaleDamage(1.5)
 
    elseif (hitgroup == HITGROUP_CHEST) then
    
        dmginfo:ScaleDamage(1)
    
    elseif (hitgroup == HITGROUP_STOMACH) then
    
        dmginfo:ScaleDamage(0.8)
    
    elseif (hitgroup == HITGROUP_LEFTARM ||
        hitgroup == HITGROUP_RIGHTARM) then
 
        dmginfo:ScaleDamage(0.35)

    elseif (hitgroup == HITGROUP_LEFTLEG ||
        hitgroup == HITGROUP_RIGHTLEG) then
         
        dmginfo:ScaleDamage(0.65)
        ply:SetWalkSpeed(125)
        ply:SetRunSpeed(250)
        
        timer.Simple(3, function()
            ply:SetWalkSpeed(250)
            ply:SetRunSpeed(500)
        
        end)
    end
end
