Hi everyone, I need help with a script.
I would like to destroy an object with a precise weapon, for example with an axe I can destroy wooden crates, while with a pickaxe I can destroy a rock.

If I'm holding an axe I can't break the rock and if I'm holding a pickaxe I can't destroy wooden crates.

I used the attached script but both weapons destroy the object anyway and I don't know how to do it.

you can check which weapon the player is holding and if it's correct make the entity lose health and if it's not then restore the health lost
i.e.

+ Code Snippet

local correct_wep = "axe"
local oldhealth = {}
function target_init(e)
	oldhealth[e] = g_Entity[e]['health']
end
 
function target_main(e)
	if g_Entity[e]['health'] < oldhealth[e] then
		if g_PlayerGunName = correct_wep then 
			oldhealth[e] = g_Entity[e]['health']
		else 
			SetEntityHealth(e,oldhealth[e])
		end 
		if g_Entity[e]['health'] < 1 then 
			PlaySound(e,0)
			Hide(e)
			Destroy(e)
			ActivateIfUsed(e)
		end 
	end
end

just make sure the item won't be destroyed in 1 hit (i.e. has a decent amount of health to start with)
you can check the weapon "names" via Prompt(g_PlayerGunName) when the player is holding the weapon

            Destroy(e)
            ActivateIfUsed(e)
        end
    end
end

ah yes, missed the other = sign in the if statement
p.s. remember if you rename the script you also need to rename the functions too
