Title: GMod lua function to set HP?
Post by: Deathtitan77 on May 01, 2013, 09:20:53 AM

I am wondering if there is a Gmod lua function to set the HP of a player; currently maurits.tv is down, so if you could help. Please do so.

Entity:SetHealth( number newHealth )

Where do I insert the number, or what do I do exactly?

Anyways, I found out it was:

ply:SetHealth( 100)

Thanks anyway.

You do realize that a PLAYER is an ENTITY right?


the ent in ent:SetHealth(100) is just whatever entity's (to include a player) health you want to set.

Helpful Wikipedia article on what is-a (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Is-a) means. :)

So, if I wanted the player to spawn with 160 health, for example, I would do:

function GM:PlayerSpawn( pl )

   player_manager.SetPlayerClass( pl, "player_sandbox" )
   
   BaseClass.PlayerSpawn( self, pl )
   
   pl:SetHealth( 160 )
   
end

BUT I WOULD FIRST HAVE TO

function HealthMax( )

       ply:SetMaxHealth( 160 )

end

Is that right?! Thanks

Why create two functions when you could have just put pl:SetMaxHealth in your PlayerSpawn function?

No, all you need to do is

Code: [Select]

function GM:PlayerSpawn( pl )

   player_manager.SetPlayerClass( pl, "player_sandbox" )
   
   BaseClass.PlayerSpawn( self, pl )

   pl:SetMaxHealth( 160 )
   pl:SetHealth( 160 )
   
end

Both seem like it would overwrite the original Gmod Playerspawn hook.
Shouldn't hook.add be used?

Code: [Select]

function myspawnaddhealth
blah
end
hook.Add("PlayerSpawn","SpawnWithHealth", myspawnaddhealth)

Oh, my bad, my bad. JamminR would be correct there. You would indeed use a hook
for a function like this.
