Players not taking damage with weapons

FiveM Resource Development Discussion
1

I’m having a bit of trouble trying to figure out how to get players to be able to damage each other.

I am using a stock fivem server install with only a single resource to give myself a weapon.

I am using the:

Citizen.CreateThread(function()
-- Enable PVP

  NetworkSetFriendlyFireOption(true)

  SetCanAttackFriendly(playerPed, true, false)

end)

thread to enable PVP. I can aim and shoot other players players, but when I hit them it does no damage no matter what weapon I use. Blood spatters, they do impact movements, but their health never depletes.

Is there another native somewhere I need to invoke so that players can damage each other?

I’ve had this issue once and then it was the server artifact have you tried the latest recommended artifact?

3

Thats one thing I didnt try, although I used the cfx profiler about a week ago to setup the server so I shouldn’t be too out of date from recommended. Ill try to update either way.

4

Updating the artifact did not help any. I feel there may be a native I missed somewhere.

5

Can you post the code for this resource, too?

Either there’s some damage routing issue somewhere, or you’ve inadvertently hit some invulnerability scenario in script. :stuck_out_tongue:

It’s a simple resource with just a couple of lines of code:

RegisterCommand('giveweapon',function(args, rawComand) 
   GiveWeaponToPed(PlayerPedId(), GetHashKey(args[1]), 25, false, false)
  _, equippedWeapon = GetCurrentPedWeapon(PlayerPedId())
end)

Then in client console (or chat) I use

/equip weapon_combatpistol

That’s all it is. I get the weapon in the weapon wheel, and I can select it and equip it, but can’t do any damage with it.

Hi,
If you do not specify a playerPed, replace it:

SetCanAttackFriendly(playerPed, true, false)

to

SetCanAttackFriendly(PlayerPedId(), true, false)

8

Sorry, I inadvertently left that part of the code out. I use this to specify the player ped:

local playerPed = GetPlayerPedId()

9

Change GetPlayerPedId() to PlayerPedId()

There are no such native:
GetPlayerPedId()

What is still possible (although rather the first):
GetPlayerPed(-1)

Right. Any particular non-default options in your server launch configuration that aren’t usually present in the example in the docs? (game build, different OneSync mode, etc.)

I just tried this usual setup and it seemed to work fine :confused:

I used the profiler with the default cfx profile, if that is what you mean. Other than that, no. There is another custom resource that I am working (where the code originally came from), but it’s disabled for now and I have the code in just a basic resource

12

Hmm, interesting. Not sure what I did other than look at the code, but it seems to be working now?

13

BAHAHAHA IM STUPID! I had a random SetEntityInvincible() in a thread it’s not supposed to be in. Everything seems to be working now.
