Help with Shotgun damage changer

[Rex744]

Code: [Select]

function DamageHook( ent, dmginfo )
        if not ent:IsNPC() and not ent:IsPlayer() then return end
        local attacker = dmginfo:GetAttacker()
        if attacker:IsPlayer() and attacker:GetActiveWeapon():GetClass() == "weapon_shotgun" then
                dmginfo:SetDamage( 25 )
        else return
        end
end
hook.Add( "EntityTakeDamage", "ShotgunDamage", DamageHook )
This code works OK, however right-clicking the shotgun will deal the same damage as left-clicking, if I use this code everyone will want to left-click instead since it's a quicker way to kill.

Can someone help me out?

Fixed, a workaround is to just scale the damage, no one really knows how to make seperate set damages, but there really is no need to anyways.

I'm confused, what are you trying to accomplish with this code?

Thank you for the help on the last post btw!

I want to change the shotgun damage, let's say I want it to kill someone in 4 hits, it should take 2 right-clicks and 4 left-clicks to kill the person, in this case it's 2 left-clicks to kill and 2-right clicks to kill.

You're going to have to find a way to determine if secondary fire was used.
As your code is now, it only tests if damage was applied, not how.
To be honest, I can't tell from the Wiki if TakeDamageInfo has a way to determine if a secondary fire of shotgun was used.

https://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/GM/KeyPress might be the way?
I'll have to mess with it when I get home.

Edit:
Yep IN_ATTACK2 seems to be it.

SWEP:SecondaryAttack

That may be more what you want. The secondary attack function rather than looking for them pressing RMB.

Code: [Select]

function DamageHook( key, ent, dmginfo )
if ( key == IN_ATTACK ) then
        if not ent:IsNPC() and not ent:IsPlayer() then return end
        local attacker = dmginfo:GetAttacker()
        if attacker:IsPlayer() and attacker:GetActiveWeapon():GetClass() == "weapon_shotgun" then
                dmginfo:SetDamage( 1 )
        else return
        end
    end
end
hook.Add( "EntityTakeDamage", "ShotgunDamage", DamageHook )

function DamageHook2( key, ent, dmginfo )
if ( key == IN_ATTACK2 ) then
        if not ent:IsNPC() and not ent:IsPlayer() then return end
        local attacker = dmginfo:GetAttacker()
        if attacker:IsPlayer() and attacker:GetActiveWeapon():GetClass() == "weapon_shotgun" then
                dmginfo:SetDamage( 1 )
        else return
        end
    end
end
hook.Add( "EntityTakeDamage", "ShotgunDamage2", DamageHook2 )
I've tried both ways, the one I found and the SWEP.SecondaryAttack, but something is strange, the shotgun damage isn't being modified at all now.
It is killing in 1-2 hits regardless of what the setdamage value is at.

I've tried again and again with different versions of the same code, currently this is what I got to, nothing is working, I did fix the strange error where nothing changed damage, this changes the damage (I think) but right-click kills in 2 hits and so does left-click so I'm back to where I started.

I still need some help.

Code: [Select]

function Attack2( key )
if ( key == IN_ATTACK2 ) then
ShotgunAttack2()
end
end
hook.Add( "KeyPress", "Attack2", Attack2 )

function Attack( key )
if ( key == IN_ATTACK ) then
ShotgunAttack()
end
end
hook.Add( "KeyPress", "Attack", Attack )

function ShotgunAttack2(ply, dmginfo)
        local attacker = dmginfo:GetAttacker()
        if ply:GetActiveWeapon():GetClass() == "weapon_shotgun" then
                dmginfo:SetDamage( 25 )
        else return
        end
end

function ShotgunAttack(ply, dmginfo)
        local attacker = dmginfo:GetAttacker()
        if ply:GetActiveWeapon():GetClass() == "weapon_shotgun" then
                dmginfo:SetDamage( 6 )
        else return
        end
end

I've started another thread at Facepunch for the same thing:
