How to nullify fall damage

    Can someone help me work this correctly so that "Fall" damage is zero ( 0 ) ?

    Code:
    PLUGIN:OnEntityTakeDamage( entity, hitinfo )
  if entity:ToPlayer() then
       local playerID = rust.UserIDFromPlayer( entity )
       local damageType = hitinfo.damageTypes:GetMajorityDamageType()
       local damageTypeStr = tostring(damageType)
       print("damageType = " .. tostring(damageType))
       if damageTypeStr:find("Fall") then
            hitinfo.damageTypes.ScaleAll(0.01)
        ...
        ...
    I get the error: instance method 'ScaleAll' requires a non null target object

    You should be able to just check the damage type and then return true/false, no need to try to scale it.

    you mean like:
    Code:
    if damageTypeStr:find("Fall") then return false end

    Yup, that would do it. Returning anything other than null would cancel it.

    okay. Now how do I scale it (properly) ?

    Why do you need to scale it? You are wanting to cancel it, you'd just return true/false like I mentioned. If you want to change the value, you'd need to modify the hitinfo, which doesn't include ScaleAll. Example: RealisticFall for Rust | Oxide.

    I want to know how to do both. :)

    I tried this
    Code:
    hitinfo.damageTypes.Set(damageType, 0.01)
    and I got a different error: invalid arguments to method: DamageTypeList.Set

    You're using Lua, so you'd need to handle it the Lua way:
    Code:
    hitinfo.damageTypes:Set(damageType, 0.01)
