How to code interacttion with other player's bodyDamage() on MP

[Dowdoon]

For the past month or so I've been working on further developing the DrHyde's Vaccine mod to suit the needs of PZ roleplaying servers. There is one feature I'd really like to implement but am unable to.

Vaccinating OTHER PLAYERS -- how can I code a function that will change the other player's bodyDamage()?

So far I've successfully added a UI-button to the HealthPanelUI that opens up when medically checking right-clicked player, but I just can't manage to add function that will change right-clicked player's stats. The code I'm using is simple: adds UI-button and a 'confirmPress' function that runs when that button is pressed. But how do I change the local function confirmPress(button, args) to apply changes to the other player's stats and not the one that initiates the button press (me)?

Any help is appreciated-- please help me solve something that I couldn't figure out in a month worth of time..

 

-- Functions for button of UIs
local function confirmPress(button, args)
    local player = getPlayer();
	if player:getInventory():getItemFromType('CmpSyringeWithVirus') then
		if player:getInventory():getItemFromType('AlcoholedCottonBalls') then
		    player:getBodyDamage():setInfected(true);
	    	player:getInventory():Remove("CmpSyringeWithVirus");
            player:getInventory():Remove("AlcoholedCottonBalls");
		else
			player:Say("Cotton balls?");
		end--if	
	else
		player:Say("Nothing to inject with..");	
	end--if
end--function

-- Add HealthPanelUI Syringe Button
local ISHealthPanel_createChildren = ISHealthPanel.createChildren

function ISHealthPanel:createChildren()
    ISHealthPanel_createChildren(self);

    self.fitness:setWidth(self.fitness:getWidth()/1.5);

    self.TOCButton = ISButton:new(self.fitness:getRight(), self.healthPanel.y, 20, 20, "", self, confirmPress);
    self.TOCButton:setImage(getTexture("media/ui/iconForMenu.png"));
    self.TOCButton.anchorTop = false
    self.TOCButton.anchorBottom = true
    self.TOCButton:initialise();
    self.TOCButton:instantiate();
    self:addChild(self.TOCButton);
    if getCore():getGameMode() == "Tutorial" then
        self.TOCButton:setVisible(false);
    end
end

local ISHealthPanel_render = ISHealthPanel.render

function ISHealthPanel:render()
    ISHealthPanel_render(self);
    self.TOCButton:setY(self.fitness:getY());
end

On Dr Client side: (lua/client)

sendClientCommand("DrHide", "vaccinePlayer", _data);
-- _data should include the onlineID of the target player. This allows you to identify him on server side

 

 

On Server side: (lua/server)

DrHideServer = {}

DrHideServer.OnClientCommand = function(_module, _command, _player, _packet)--not that _player is the source player. i.e. the Dr.
    if _module ~= "DrHide" then return; end;--the message is not for you. it's ok
    if (_command ~= "vaccinePlayer") or (not _packet) then return end; --bug maybe log this too
    
    --TODO interpret _packet
    -- it should include the onlineID of the target player. This allows you to identify him on server side
    --in your case there are two possibilities:
    -- 1/ modify the target player mod data (getModData().DrHideMD) and update them (with ModData.transmit("DrHideMD"))
    -- 2/ sendServerCommand to the target player
end

Events.OnClientCommand.Add(DrHideServer.OnClientCommand);

 

On Vaccine target Client side: (lua/client)

--if you used moddata update from server:
local function OnReceiveGlobalModData(_module, _packet)
	if _module ~= "DrHideMD" then return; end;
		ModData.add(_module, _packet);
        --now you can use the updated moddata
	end;
end

Events.OnReceiveGlobalModData.Add(OnReceiveGlobalModData)

 

This is how Donkaike made it in Prisonner mod.

 

I guess you could use OnServerCommand in case 2 (using sendServerCommand on server side).
