allowdamge false on building?

[callihn 10]

I seem to be doing something wrong with this, it seemed like a simple command replacement, but it's not working so I must be missing something.

Here is what I have in init.sqf:

(getPos this nearestObject 224602) allowdamage false;

Could someone point out what I am doing wrong here please?

Thanks

If it's in init.sqf you'll need to use the name of some object instead of this.

Thanks, but I can't name the object it's in the map, otherwise I could have just placed it in it's init.

So are you saying that we can't set a building in the map to not accept damage?

No, he is just saying that what you have wont work in the ini.sqf.

You have this, and this does not exist in the init.sqf.

You need to use the position like:

([x, y, z] nearestObject 224602) allowdamage false;

_neo_

Yeah, either use a specific position like neo said, or put a gamelogic on the map somewhere called server or something and use this:

(getPos server nearestObject 224602) allowdamage false;

Actually it works fine in the init for me.

(getpos this nearestObject 5169) allowdamage false;

or name a game logic say GL

(getpos GL nearestObject 5169) allowdamage false

Worth noting that when you restart the map it remembers it's previous true false damage state.

I actually wouldn't use the ID number as they have changed from time to time and it makes it a pain moving things around.

I use this placed in a game logic, the advantage is you can protect lots of buildings or just one depending on the radius. You can also protect other things than just the building bu using the filter.

Protects everything withn 8 meteres

obj = nearestobjects [GL,[], 8];{_x allowdamage false } foreach obj;

This would protect men and vehicles ect.

obj = nearestobjects [GL,["men","vehicle"], 8];{_x allowdamage false } foreach obj;

I have notice if there ar alot of men around an explosion some may still get killed.

Thanks everyone, is there some code I could stick in my players init to display his current position for something like this or?

Yes,

In this case lets use a hint and copy the position to the clipboard:

_pos = getPos this; hint format ["Position:%1", _pos]; copyToClipBoard _pos;

[callihn 10]

Thanks, I see that [0,0,0] works, so I'll just use that, unless there is some reason I shouldn't, but I'm sure that code will come in handy, since it is not the first time I've had a need to display location. if you have several IDs in a row can you do something like this?:

([0,0,0] nearestObject 205680-205700) allowdamage false;

Or?

[kylania 568]

In ArmA2 there was some bugs if you made items in [0,0,0] so people took to spawn at [1,1,1] instead. :)

Any ideal why this doesn't work?:

mybunker allowdamage false;

I of course have an object named mybunker and it's not working.
