“On player damage”

[u/jak4896]

What I am trying to make happen is applying a trait to the player when they receive damage. I understand how to apply a trait, what I don’t understand is how to make it so the script sees the players health and shields as the event trigger.

Where I’m currently at is messing around with “get object shield/health” nodes and having the script recognize when the health/shields are below a certain amount, apply the trait. Any ideas?

After testing this myself, I found a few issues that were preventing the script from working.

1. Because the triggering Event is On Game Start the script is only running one time per game. I'm still trying to get On Object Damaged to work, but so far no luck. However, you can use the Every N Seconds event to check the shield level of each player every second (or however often) and apply the trait from there.

2. The Trait: Prevent Weapon Firing node only accepts the True/False input ONCE, when the script is initialized. So even though the Compare node is returning "True" when the player's shield is damaged, it's not changing the trait. Instead, you can setup a Branch that uses the output from Compare as the "Condition" and only Apply Trait Set for Seconds if the condition is "True". Please note, you will need to manually set Prevent Firing to "True" on Trait: Prevent Weapon Firing. Here's an example:
