How to get location of downed / dead player

[4waymedia 10]

I am trying to set a task with a marker that is located where a player dies. when I use the Task Module Location and sync to a object, it works until the object dies, or is blown up....And I am trying to have a helicopter shot down so that we can retrieve intel...

 

Please help.

EventHandlers maybe ? I don't really understand what you are trying to do.

Are you using the editor only or do you script a bit?

 

A killed EH would do the trick : you could use it to store the position of the dead player in a global variable.

You'd only need to delay the task creation with something like this :

waitUntil {!isNil "myGlobalVariable"};

I am using the event handler to set markers on the map as well as move the Task location.

 

this addEventHandler ["hit", {  _pos = position (_this select 1);  hint format ['Taking fire. Guidance system malfunction. May-day'];  td2 setPosATL _pos;  }]

 

 

But, I am still having problems with my task marker being the altitude of the helicopter when it is first shot at.....

This should make sure markers are always at 0 altitude :

this addEventHandler ["hit", {
	_pos = position (_this select 1);
	_pos params ["_x", "_y", ""];
	hint format ['Taking fire. Guidance system malfunction. May-day'];
	td2 setPosATL ["_x", "_y", 0];
}]
