surrenderScript

[Suicidal Dog]

I am trying to make a script that will force a player to be stripped and slowed when their health is lower than 1, I want to also make it so when they are healed up they will then receive all their weapons back. I have some of it but it doesn't seem to identify the player is less than a certain health amount and stop them taking damage.

Code: Lua

1.  
2. local surrenderTeams = {
3.         [TEAM_CADET]=true,
4. }
5.  
6. hook.Add("PlayerShouldTakeDamage","SurrenderHook",function( ply, att )
7.  
8.         if surrenderTeams[ply:Team()] then
9.  
10.                 if ply:Health() <= 1 then
11.  
12.                         ply:SetHealth(1)
13.                         ply:SetWalkSpeed(100)
14.                         ply:SetRunSpeed(100)
15.                         ply:SetCrouchedWalkSpeed(100)
16.                         return false
17.  
18.                 end
19.  
20.         end
21.  
22. end)

That script does work to some extent:

If I attack someone for 5 damage and my opponent has 1 HP remaining. -> Opponent does not take damage.
If I attack someone for 5 damage and my opponent has 2 HP remaining. -> Opponent dies because of damage.

Problem is that ply:Health() returns the player’s health before damage is taken.

Suggestion: check if the damage is lethal instead.

Tip #1: You can get damage info and suppress damage with the GM:EntityTakeDamage hook.

Tip #2: Example of how to use the hook to detect and suppress lethal damage:

Code: Lua

1. hook.Add( "EntityTakeDamage", "SurrenderHook", function ( target, dmg )
2.     if target:Health() <= dmg:GetDamage() then
3.         -- TODO: Strip player
4.         -- TODO: Apply slowness
5.         ply:SetHealth( 1 )
6.         return true -- Suppress lethal damage
7.     end
8. end )
