Simulate loss of mobility, some of crew in vehicle?

[SteelSampson 1]

I am making a training mission and I'd like to simulate loss of mobility on a vehicle and loss of one crewman, like the driver and/or gunner without having everyone in the vehicle go down.

Sidenote: they players in the vehicle and the vehicle itself could be different each time the mission is played.

Thanks

Do you want like kill one AI unit in the vehicle?

_unit = objNull;
{
if(!isPlayer(_x)) exitWith {
	_unit = _x;
};
} forEach (crew _vehicle);

if(!isNull(_unit)) then {
_unit setDamage 1;
};

For breaking certain vehicle part look at http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/setHitPointDamage

Sorry, should have clarified this... ai will be disabled.

Thanks for the link!

Select random crew member in vehicle

_randomCrewMember = (crew _vehicle) select floor(random(count(crew _vehicle)));
//Do whatever you want with _randomCrewMember

Awesome! Thank you! Is there a way to make it also choose a random number of crew members?

Is it possible to make it so a vehicle can take damage just never blowup? like limiting the damage it can take to 'damage 0.9' or something?

_crew = crew _vehicle;
_players = [];
for "_i" from 0 to 2 do {
if(count(_crew) > 0) then {
	_random = _crew select floor(random(count _crew));
	_players = _players + [_random];
	_crew = _crew - [_random];
};
};

This will select 3 (0 to 2) random units from vehicle crew and put into _players array

This is a bit complicated, you will need HandleDamage event handler: http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/ArmA_2:_Event_Handlers#HandleDamage

you will need to add it for all clients that are in the game and will join the game (init line of vehicle for example or use BIS_fnc_MP for newly spawned vehicles).

Example for init line:

this addEventHandler ["HandleDamage", {if((_this select 2) < 0.8) then {_this select 2} else {0.8}} ];

this will prevent any vehicle part (including overall damage) going above 0.8

Thank you!

Would it be possible to reset the damage to 0 after 60 seconds for any vehicle that: 1. has players in it and 2. has reached the damage limit of 0.8?
