Give AI Mortar Unlimited Ammo Until Dead?

[semedar 0]

So I'm trying to have an enemy mortar have unlimited ammo but when it's killed, it stops giving it/refilling it's ammo. So then the player can't get on the mortar and have unlimited ammo.

Would something like this work?

aiMortarAlive = True;

while { aiMortarAlive } do
{ 
if !alive aiMortar1 then aiMortar1 setVehicleAmmo 1 else exit
sleep 150;
};

I think an eventhandler may be easier.

aiMortar1 addEventHandler ["fired", "aiMortar1 setVehicleAmmo 1"]

It would, but that way, once the AI fires, he will fire continually. Like he's spitting mortars out of nowhere. And also, the unlimited ammo won't stop if the AI dies. Or am I wrong on this part?

If he dies, he can't fire anymore...

If he dies, the mortar is still there and you can get on it with unlimited ammo..

i believe you should check for alive (gunner mortar) as I believe mortar might not return the gunner in the mortar, but the weapon itself (however I may be wrong, in any case, this will surely solve the issue of infinite ammo after gunners death)

aiMortar1 addEventHandler ["fired", "if (!isPlayer (gunner aiMortar1)) then {aiMortar1 setVehicleAmmo 1"}]

Thanks!

aiMortar1 addEventHandler ["fired", "if (!isPlayer (gunner aiMortar1)) then {aiMortar1 setVehicleAmmo 1}"];

Miss-placed the last comma.
