Tools cant hurt npcs?

[or3o]

          Anyone know how to make it so a tool such as a pickaxe or hatchet cant be used to hurt npcs but    still does damage to resources? im sorry if this is a stupid question but  i havent exactly figured it out yet. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Make a combat check! =D

```
                        If Item(GetPlayerEquipment(attacker, Weapon)).Data3 <> 0 Then
                            PlayerMsg Index, "You cant attack with a NPC with a tool", BrightRed
                            Exit Sub
                        End If

```

Where exactly do i place this code? I tried in PlayerAttackNpc, CanPlayerAttackNpc, TryPlayerAttackNpc and it doesnt work.

i believe this goes in modcombat player attacknpc right after it checks if you have a weapon. i cant open vb6 at the moment but ill check it out soon as  i get on my other pc.

You cant use Index there.
Replace
PlayerMsg Index, "You cant attack with a NPC with a tool", BrightRed
with
PlayerMsg Attacker, "You cant attack with a NPC with a tool", BrightRed

1\. this was an OLD post.

2\. that was just an outline of the code. If you were to put it in the code death beam was correct.
