How to make the AI not killable while using an object?

[ZeeSquared 10]

Is it possible to make a static machine gun take no damage and also have the AI manning it not killable?

I dropped a machine gun tripod that's manned by the AI and set it to not take damage. The tripod never gets destroyed but the AI manning it can take damage and die. Is there a way to prevent this?

Thanks in advance.

Put this in the init line of the machine gun:

(crew this select 0) allowDamage false;

Tested on DshKM only.

(crew this select 0) allowDamage false;

That works awesome for the BAF machine gun tripod and anti-aircraft pods. Thank you! I tried putting the code in an AI-manned Jackal which has 3 crewmen but only one of them was not able to be killed. Does it have to do with the 'select' command?

Thanks again! (:

Almost. To have every crewman invincible you need this:

{_x allowdamage false} foreach crew myvehicle

Don't know if it works by putting it in the init line. Maybe you need to use a trigger or script etc.

If the object is empty first, and you want a unit becoming invincible by manning it, use the getin-eventhandler, putting into the object's init:

this addeventhandler ["getin",{(_this select 2) allowDamage false}];

and, of course, for undoing that, use the getout eventhandler:

this addeventhandler ["getout",{(_this select 2) allowDamage true}];
