FiveM Discussion Bug reports

I am using onPlayerKilled baseevent and for killerID I always get returned -1 even though I am killing a ped with a gun.

For a good bug report you should probably include:

  1. Client (production/canary) and FXServer version
    4162
  2. What you expected to happen
    Get killerID
  3. What actually happens
    I always get returned -1
  4. Category of bug (eg. client, server, weapons, peds, native)
    server, baseevent
  5. Reproducible steps, preferably with example script(s)

Server

RegisterNetEvent('playerConnecting')
RegisterNetEvent('playerConnecting', function()
    TriggerClientEvent('showNotification', -1, '~g~' .. GetPlayerName(source) .. '~w~ joined.')
end)

RegisterNetEvent('playerDropped')
AddEventHandler('playerDropped', function()
    TriggerClientEvent('showNotification', -1, '~r~' .. GetPlayerName(source) .. '~w~ left.')
end)

RegisterNetEvent('baseevents:onPlayerDied')
AddEventHandler('baseevents:onPlayerDied', function(playerId)
    TriggerClientEvent('showNotification', -1, '~o~' .. GetPlayerName(source) .. '~w~ died.')
end)

RegisterNetEvent('baseevents:onPlayerKilled')
AddEventHandler('baseevents:onPlayerKilled', function(killedBy)
    print(killedBy)
    print(GetPlayerName(source))
    TriggerClientEvent('showNotification', -1, '~o~' .. killedBy .. '~w~ killed ~o~' .. GetPlayerName(source))
end)

Client

RegisterNetEvent('showNotification')
AddEventHandler('showNotification', function(notify)
    notification(notify)
end)

function notification(string)
    SetNotificationTextEntry("STRING")
    AddTextComponentString(string)
    DrawNotification(true, false)
end```
