Get damagetype and other stuff

[komposite]

Hello all !

I'm working on my audio integration of Invector (via Wwise), and I need to get what type of damage has been deal to the player, but also, if the player is protecting, and the cherry on the cake would be to have tag of what the player has hit.

My logic here is :

Using the unity event on receive damage, i'll check what type of damage is dealt (sword, axe, spike, etc...) and select the right sound accordingly.

But if my player is blocking the damage, i'll play a different sound (if the player can block this attack, of course...)

Here's what I wrote so far :

(note that I'm using animations event to play sounds via wwise)

using Invector.vCharacterController;
using Invector;
using UnityEngine;




public class player_wwise_events : vMonoBehaviour


{

   //Get the player and enable debug
   public GameObject Player;

   public bool DebugEnable = false;

   //name for the sprint switch
   public string Sprint;
   public string isSprinting;
   public string isWalking;

   // name of the sprint RTPC
   public string SpeedRTPC;


   // name of the damage event
   public string takedamage;

   // name of the death event
   public string playerdies;
   private bool hastheplayerdied;

   public string DamagePlayerSwitch;

       hastheplayerdied = false;


   }

   void Update()
   {

       AkSoundEngine.SetRTPCValue(SpeedRTPC, Player.GetComponent<Rigidbody>().velocity.magnitude, gameObject);

       //Check if the chara is playing

       if (Player.GetComponent<vThirdPersonController>().isSprinting)
       {
           SetSprintSwitch();
       }
       else
       {
           UnsetSprintSwitch();
       }

       if (Player.GetComponent<vThirdPersonController>().currentHealth <= 0 && !hastheplayerdied)
       {
           PlayerisDead();
       }

       if (DebugEnable)

       {
           Debug.Log(Player.GetComponent<Rigidbody>().velocity.magnitude);

       }

       // get the type of damage the chara has received
       typeofdamage = Player.GetComponent<Invector.vMelee.vHitInfo>().attackObject.damage.damageType;



       // change type of damage the chara has received
       AkSoundEngine.SetSwitch(DamagePlayerSwitch, typeofdamage, gameObject);

       //DEBUG
       if (DebugEnable)
       print(typeofdamage);

       // get the tag the player has hit
       typeofhit = GetComponent<Invector.vMelee.vHitInfo>().targetCollider.tag;

       if (DebugEnable)
       print(typeofhit);

       // change the type of what the player has hit
       AkSoundEngine.SetSwitch(HitPlayerSwitch, typeofhit, gameObject);

       //check if the player is protecting
       //PlayerProtection = can't find where the isblocking is...


   }


   // method to use animation event to call wwise event
   void PlayWwiseEvent(string nomdelevent)
   {

       AkSoundEngine.PostEvent(nomdelevent, gameObject);


       //DEBUG

       { Debug.Log("Je joue l'event" + nomdelevent); }

   }

   {
       AkSoundEngine.SetSwitch(Sprint, isSprinting, gameObject);

       //DEBUG
       if (DebugEnable)

       {
           Debug.Log("Is Sprinting");

       }

   }

   // unset is sprinting switch
   void UnsetSprintSwitch()

   {

       AkSoundEngine.SetSwitch(Sprint, isWalking, gameObject);


       //DEBUG
       if (DebugEnable)

       {
           Debug.Log("Is Not Sprinting");

       }

   }

   //check if player is dead
   public void PlayerisDead()
   {
       hastheplayerdied = true;
       AkSoundEngine.PostEvent(playerdies, gameObject);

       //DEBUG
       if (DebugEnable)

       {
           Debug.Log("player has died");

       }

   }

}
But this is giving me this error :

ArgumentException: GetComponent requires that the requested component 'vHitInfo' derives from MonoBehaviour or Component or is an interface.
UnityEngine.GameObject.GetComponent[T] () (at /Users/builduser/buildslave/unity/build/Runtime/Export/GameObject.bindings.cs:28)
player_wwise_events.Update () (at Assets/SCRIPTS/player_wwise_events.cs:100)

I get that vHitInfo is not a monobehaviour script, but I don't know how to work my way around that.

any help is appreciated !

Thanks ! 🙏
