Lua Weapon Variable Damage [uh, Solved already?]

I'm trying to make a cannon to be fired by a vehicle or turret against other vehicles, turrets, whatever really, that does a different amount of damage each shot, specifically so as you keep shooting it, it becomes less effective to a target if you keep hitting it.

I started with a chunk of LUA that detects a weapon hit, and heals the attacker, and I've changed it, to damage the attacker in the way I mentioned, but I'm not sure how to make it damage the target instead. I'm not sure the GetCharacterUnit line will work, because the target might not be a "Character"?

[code]

    OnObjectDamage(function(object, damager)

             if damager == nil then 

                 return

             end

             if GetObjectLastHitWeaponClass(object) == "com_weap_veh_ion_cannon" then

                 local unit = GetCharacterUnit(damager)

                 if unit == nil then

                     return

                 end

                 local damage = GetObjectHealth(unit) * 0.20

                 if damage > 1000 then

                     damage = 1000

                 end

                 SetProperty(unit, "CurHealth", GetObjectHealth(unit) - damage)

                 end

         end

     )[/code]

EDIT: Well, that was easy...

New code that works if anyone likes it.

Does this work better? At all? The same?

[code]OnObjectDamage(function(object, damager)

             if damager == nil then 

                 return

             if GetObjectLastHitWeaponClass(object) == "com_weap_veh_ion_cannon" then

                 local object_instance = GetCharacterUnit(object)

                 if object_instance == nil then

                     return

                 end

                 damage = GetObjectHealth(object_instance) * 0.20

                 if damage > 1000 then

                     damage = 1000

                 end

                 SetProperty(object_instance, "CurHealth", GetObjectHealth(object_instance) - damage)

                 end

         end

Probably no noticeable difference.
