JBOY Burning/Exploding Barrel script - released

[johnnyboy 3741]

Patch 1.56 broke this script by stopping physics on barrel objects when their damage =1.  This resulted in burning barrels frozen in air.

 

Download link in original post is updated with a fix.  The workaround was to create a screwdriver object and attach the barrel to it, then launch the screwdriver with setvelocity.  The effect is now fixed.

 

See this script featured in my new mission Property of Mabunga:

JBOY Burning/Exploding Barrel script v3.0

[johnnyboy 3741]

I made the front page again!!! Woohoo!  It's like being on the cover of the Rolling Stone.

 

Thank you Foxhound, much appreciated.

 

BTW, I just released a new mission Property of Mabunga that I'd love to see on Armaholic?  ;)

 

Thanks again sir.

I don't have that problem with the barrels, mine works fine.

 

// gastank.sqf by Jinker
// this addEventHandler ["killed", {Null = _this execVM "gastank.sqf";}];

_item= _this select 0;
_item removeAllEventHandlers "killed";
sleep 5 + random 5;
_boomType = ["IEDUrbanBig_Remote_Ammo","R_TBG32V_F","SLAMDirectionalMine_Wire_Ammo","Bo_Mk82"];// M_NLAW_AT_F
_boomer = selectRandom _boomType;
_boom = _boomer createVehicle [getpos _item select 0, getpos _item select 1,(getpos _item select 2) +0.2];//
_item setVelocity [5-random 10,5-random 10,15+random 10];

That's odd.  We're doing the same thing essentially:  barrel setvelocity ...

 

For me it broke in patch 1.56:  When the barrel's damage became 1, the barrel would no longer be affected by setvelocity and would freeze mid-air.  Maybe that is fixed with patch 1.58.  Cool video...love the chain reaction at then end. :)

Here's a demo mission featuring my burning exploding barrel scripts.

 

Thanks Johnnyboy! Im going to be using this to update my The ISIS Trail part 1 mission :)

[johnnyboy 3741]

Glad to hear it Irish.  That reminds me that I need to post an updated version of this script.  Stay tuned.

I'm glad someone is fixing a barrel explosions.. mine stopped working  awhile back.. ( I miss it) ..

[johnnyboy 3741]

The demo mission in Original Post is updated with latest fixes.  A recent patch caused barrels on trucks to not launch after exploding.  This version fixes that.

Thanks Johnnyboy! Im going to be using this to update my The ISIS Trail part 1 mission :)

Hi Irish... I recommend using this latest version.

JBOY Burning/Exploding Barrel script v4.0

[dr death jm 117]

I pm'ed you JB, awesome script ..

[dr death jm 117]

new pm JB

[johnnyboy 3741]

SCRIPT UPDATED:  Thanks to dr death jim, we've added the ability to respawn the barrels after a delay.  This will be useful for Deathmatch and other missions where you want editor placed objects to be recreated after a delay.

 

The example mission in drop box in original post contains this update.  See instructions for barrel respawn in top post.

 

Thanks Dr Death Jim for creating the barrel respawn script! :D

[dr death jm 117]

 

 

Thanks Dr Death Jm  Edited (the respawn to work with barrels) :D

I'm No Scripter yet... :rolleyes: but thanks JB for the awesome comment and scripts you share...

[dr death jm 117]

I noticed there's a trigger, to edit and control barrels besides the barrels init... very nice...

Thanks for reporting that.  I'll have to update the script! :)

I love your scripts.

Details make the difference.

And who never thought of exploding barrels in a full CSAT airport or make a jihad jeep out of exploding barrels.

[hunne 1]

awesome!  :D I only get a small error "undefined variable: _flatbed" in the load_barrels.sqf file (and something more before that but I can´t read it fast enough, most likely the _flatbed again)...other than that, I can blow up 200 barrels without having fps issues - oh the joy^^

I just copied everything into my mission folder, looked at the file too, but I am nowhere near understanding the problem  :lol:

[Persian MO 81]

You may need to set  name for 2 truck vehicle( add them if your not) as flatbed1 and flatbed 2 or remove last lines in your init.sqf, check it out , you will find it.

[hunne 1]

deleting the last few lines in the init.sqf produces yet another error, so that doesn´t work

 

and I´m not really into this syntax, so me thinks I´ll wait before doctoring around

 

 

edit: adding said two trucks fixed it

[Devastator_cm 434]

is there a way to add this script to specific object?
For example I have a cargo net barrels and I would like to have it explodable :)

 

[johnnyboy 3741]

This script is put into the init of a barrel object, so it could be put in any object, but it might look weird when it blows up and launches.    The fire is attached to the proper position for a normal metal barrel object.

 

Are Cargo Net barrels single barrels or a group of barrels?  If  a group of barrels, then you may want to script some sleight of hand, where when barrel group takes damage you replace the group of barrels with individual barrels in same relative positions of group of barrels, and run the exploding barrel script on each individual barrel (and delete cargo net barrel object).
