Take of thermal on Vehicle

[1para{god-father} 105]

Is there any way to take of Thermal of a Vehicle ?

[Brain 12]

Do you mean the thermal signature of a Vehicle or taking off the Thermal-View as gunner?

[bearbison 10]

If you mean for gunners then see http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/disableTIEquipment not tried it in A3 but worked in OA

Name vehicle: \\\name///

add to vehicle init: \\\name/// disableTIEquipment true;

But how do I get this to reload after respawn ?

The target object is fine and has no thermal optics till after respawn then they come back.

Help.

You would need to set the vehicles variable name when it respawns to give it a unique name and run some code on the vehicle. In your case, theName disableTIEquipment true;. Or put that in your vehicle respawn script after the vehicle is created. IE; _veh disableTIEquipment true;. Kind of hard to tell you exactly what you need to do as you've not told how or what script you are using to respawn the vehicle(s).

If you're using the vehicle respawn module it's as simple as putting (_this select 0) disableTIEquipment true; in the expression field of the module.

I have the name set as m1 on the unit

veh = [this, 3800, 0, 0, false, false] execVM "scripts\vehicle.sqf"; m1 disableTIEquipment true;

I am new at this.

And I have to thank you a ton for all the help you have givin' me from other posts from other users you helped.

Simple Vehicle Respawn Script v1.81 for Arma 3

by Tophe of Östgöta Ops [OOPS]

Put this in the vehicles init line:

veh = [this] execVM "vehicle.sqf"

Options:

There are some optional settings. The format for these are:

veh = [object, Delay, Deserted timer, Respawns, Effect, Dynamic] execVM "vehicle.sqf"

Default respawn delay is 30 seconds, to set a custom respawn delay time, put that in the init as well.

Like this:

veh = [this, 15] execVM "vehicle.sqf"

Default respawn time when vehicle is deserted, but not destroyed is 120 seconds. To set a custom timer for this

first set respawn delay, then the deserted vehicle timer. (0 = disabled)

Like this:

veh = [this, 15, 10] execVM "vehicle.sqf"

By default the number of respawns is infinite. To set a limit first set preceding values then the number of respawns you want (0 = infinite).

Like this:

veh = [this, 15, 10, 5] execVM "vehicle.sqf"

Set this value to TRUE to add a special explosion effect to the wreck when respawning.

Default value is FALSE, which will simply have the wreck disappear.

Like this:

veh = [this, 15, 10, 5, TRUE] execVM "vehicle.sqf"

By default the vehicle will respawn to the point where it first was when the mission started (static).

This can be changed to dynamic. Then the vehicle will respawn to the position where it was destroyed.

First set all preceding values then set TRUE for dynamic or FALSE for static.

Like this:

veh = [this, 15, 10, 5, TRUE, TRUE] execVM "vehicle.sqf"

If you you want to set the INIT field of the respawned vehicle, first set all other values, then set init commands.

Those must be inside quotations.

Like this:

veh = [this, 15, 10, 5, TRUE, FALSE, "this setDammage 0.5"] execVM "vehicle.sqf"

Default values of all settings are:

veh = [this, 30, 120, 0, FALSE, FALSE] execVM "vehicle.sqf"

If thats Tophe's vehicle respawn i believe it would need to look something like

veh = [this, 3800, 0, 0, false, false, "this disableTIEquipment true;"] execVM "scripts\vehicle.sqf"; m1 disableTIEquipment true;

Thank you Lorrow !
