In the units init field:

this addEventhandler ["HitPart",{hint str _this}];

okey, but how would i make a function to like if i got shoot in the head it will run another function?

[das attorney 858]

In init line:

this addEventHandler ["hitpart", {if ("head" in (_this select 0 select 5)) then {RUN_YOUR_FUNCTION_HERE}}];

that worked but what if i want to have head,legs,hands and chest XD

[das attorney 858]

Then modify the condition. I'm not going to code it for you.

okey just wanted to make sure im doing right :P

if you minde me ask do you think this would work this addEventHandler ["hitpart", {if ("head","Hands","Legs", in (_this select 0 select 5)) then {RUN_YOUR_FUNCTION_HERE}}];

[das attorney 858]

this addEventHandler ["hitpart", {if ("head" in (_this select 0 select 5) or {"hands" in (_this select 0 select 5)} or {"legs" in (_this select 0 select 5)}) then {RUN_YOUR_FUNCTION_HERE}}];

You would be better off passing _this to the function and checking there.

okey so i tryed to add diffirent functions for every hit part but i just can't get it to work this is what i tryed to do:

player addEventHandler ["hitpart", {if ("head" in (_this select 0 select 5) then {_this execVM "Head.sqf"} else {"hands" in (_this select 0 select 5) then {_this execVM "Hands.sqf"} else {"chest" in (_this select 0 select 5) then {_this execVM "Chest.sqf"} else {"legs" in (_this select 0 select 5)) then {_this execVM "Legs.sqf"}}];

Uh maybe I'm pointing out the obvious but that "if then else then else then else then" structure is absolutely messed up.

[Naiss 28]

ye i where thinking that it where abit messed up but where not sure how i would have done that, first time im working with eventhandler

any ida how i would set this up? already tested everythink i can think about

[das attorney 858]

At least he's trying :) Too many people won't try anything and post up on this forum saying "what if I did.......?". As if trying some wrong code would break their PC.

In the units initbox:

this addEventHandler ["hitpart", {(_this select 0) call YOURFUNCTIONNAME}];

In init.sqf:

YOURFUNCTIONNAME = {
_selectionArr = _this select 5;
       systemChat format ["%1", _selectionArr];
call {
	if ("head" in _selectionArr) exitWith {
		// some code
	};
	if ("chest" in _selectionArr) exitWith {
		// different code
	};
	if ("hands" in _selectionArr) exitWith {
		// other code
	};
};	
};

BTW - I think the selection names you have put in there like "chest" and "hands" might not work. You will need to test by reading the systemChat text and seeing what they are actually called when you shoot the unit.

Lifeman, scripting is not your thing buddy. You're better off stealing other people's stuff like you usually do...

[Naiss 28]

i hope you understand that i dont steal stuff!? im new to evenhandler so thats why i did not understand how to do it.
