zagor64bz 1225 Posted December 9, 2015 Hi, how can I set in the init of a unit a "allowdamage false" only when he's Haloing, and get back to TRUE when he's on the ground? Everytime I HALO with a large (8 to 10) AI team they collide in mid-air killing half of the team.... Thank you and sorry for the "NOOB-ness" 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
froggyluv 2136 Posted December 9, 2015 Suppose you could do a height check and disallow damage until close or at zero. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zagor64bz 1225 Posted December 9, 2015 Suppose you could do a height check and disallow damage until close or at zero. Like a said, I'm a noob..could you please "develop" that? like with something I could "copy-and paste"?? Thank you mate! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
froggyluv 2136 Posted December 9, 2015 On phone but I'll try later when at home. Also an isTypeOf "Air" might work 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jshock 513 Posted December 9, 2015 [this] spawn { (_this select 0) allowDamage false; waitUntil { (getPosATL (_this select 0)) select 2 < 2}; (_this select 0) allowDamage true;}; Unit init. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mamba Six 11 Posted December 9, 2015 [this] spawn { (_this select 0) allowDamage false; waitUntil { (getPosATL (_this select 0)) select 2 < 2}; (_this select 0) allowDamage true;};Unit init. Just curious, but why not: this spawn { _this allowDamage false; waitUntil { (getPostATL _this) select 2 < 2 }; _this allowDamage true; }; ? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jshock 513 Posted December 9, 2015 Just curious, but why not: this spawn { _this allowDamage false; waitUntil { (getPostATL _this) select 2 < 2 }; _this allowDamage true; }; ? Same difference as far as I remeber. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry, none work... It give me :"script;expect nothing" error. I even try with unit name in stead of "_this"...Am I missing something? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted December 10, 2015 You may use a damage eventHandler witch may be way more efficient and clean. If you are intrested by this solution let me know I will investigate further. I'm on my phone right now so I will help you in like 8 hours. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

barbolani 198 Posted December 10, 2015 Wait Where is the soldier in the editor map? Is he high or just in the ground awaiting to be teleported to the air? If so, the code is spawning while he is on the ground and the waitUntil is passed. Anyway: this addEventHandler ["HandleDamage", {_player = _this select 0; if ((not(isTouchingGround _player)) and (vehicle _player==_player)) then {0} else {_this select 2}}] When he opens the parachute, will get damage. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Von Quest 1163 Posted December 11, 2015 I haven't tried that part of my project since this last update. I'll look into it though. Should have an update that addresses that issue before the end of the weekend hopefully. Maybe even by morning here. Should be an easy upgrade/fix. Since the A.I. is part of your squad, I didn't want the player to be invincible as well. If I can find time tonight, I'll try and squeeze that in and upload in the morning here in the US. ---------- Update: I don't want to hijack your thread, I'll post more info on my SWC thread... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
