Eventhandler "hit" doesnt work on some objects??

[JacobJ 10]

Hey

I have created an loudspeaker object from the small objects menu. The problem is, that a addeventhandler hit, doesnt work on it. Here is my code:

this addEventHandler ["hit", {[] execVM "speakerhit.sqf"}];

in the speakerhit.sqf I just have a hint "hey";

Ive tried putting this eventhandler on a soldier and it works. I have tried a barrel and a road cone and both work, but not on objects, where they not have an icon in the editor, but just a question mark.

Can it be true that it doesnt work with those question mark objects?

Can I somehow simulate this? Maybe make a road cone invisible (but still hit-able), so that when the invisible road cone gets hit it hideObject's the loudspeaker?

I have tried hideObject on the road cone, but it can't be hit by bullets.

Any suggestions?

"Hit" doesn't activate because the object doesn't get enough damage. Some objects just don't get damage from projectiles.

Ahh okay, but I still can't get it working. I have tried this code:

this addEventHandler ["HandleDamage",{[] execVM "speakerhit.sqf"}]

But it still wont run the script..

Okay, ive found out that the loudspeaker can't take any damage. I tried with the same loudspeaker, just from the EU misc folder and that can take damage.

Now I just need to increase the damage that a bullet does to the speaker. I have found this, but it reports and error back that I can't see a solution for. This is the code:

this addEventHandler ["HandleDamage",{if (_this select 3=="") then {damage (_this select 0)+(_this select 2)*10}}]

The error should be here (_this select 3(ERROR)=="")

Can you help me out here Celery?

If you want the speaker to be damaged by just one shot, simply have the HandleDamage EH destroy the object once it triggers maybe?

And how would I do that? I have tried to run a script that setdamage 1 to the speaker, but that doesnt seem to work.

Okay got it working. This code did the trick:

this addEventHandler ["Handledamage",{_this select 0 setdammage 1}];
