Chrono:
No no, you wouldn't use Armor::damage

You'd use WheeledVehicleData:: and FlyingVehicleData::

%this is the datablock.
%obj is the vehicle
bla bla bla

KuriousGeorge:
Oh sorry. That's what I meant anyhow, it was the arguments I got wrong.

so if I would want to message the driver after the vehicle took damage

--- Code: ---messageClient(%obj.driver.client, 'bottom print', "Your vehicle took" SPC %damage SPC "damage.");
--- End code ---

Chrono:
You wouldn't do that because if someone shot at the vehicle with a machine gun, the driver would get spammed.

I'd say stick to a right aligned center print, like this:

CenterPrint(%obj.getMountedObject(0).client,"<just:right><color:ffffff>Vehicle: <color:00ff00>" @ (1-%obj.getDamagePercent())*100 @ "%",3);

%obj is the vehicle
.getMountedObject(0) is the driver
.client is the driver's client
<just:right> puts the message to the right side of the screen.
(1-%obj.getDamagePercent())*100
%obj.getDamagePercent is a number between 0 and 1 to show how much damage the vehicle has taken.
1- that^ gets the health percent, multiply by 100 to get a number between 0 and 100.
3 shows the center print for 3 seconds.
Do this AFTER the Parent::damage

KuriousGeorge:

--- Code: ---package NewPackage
{
function wheeledVehicle::damage(%this, %obj, %sourceObject, %position, %damage, %damageType)
{
Parent::damage(%this, %obj, %sourceObject, %position, %damage, %damageType)
centerPrint(%obj.getMountedObject(0).client,"<just:right><color:ffffff>Vehicle: <color:00ff00>" @ (1-%obj.getDamagePercent())*100 @ "%",3);
}
};

activatePackage(NewPackage);
--- End code ---

1. Chrono your ideas are as good as your add-ons, I like the right aligned thing.
2. Thank god for Package/Syntax Tutorial or else I would have had no idea what to do
3. I tried executing it but the console doesn't like it. Can someone help me wrap this up?
4. why won't simply %obj.driver.client work?

Chrono:
You forgot the ; at the end of Parent::damage(%this, %obj, %sourceObject, %position, %damage, %damageType)
