Counter measures also trigger the "fired" EH

[jAMDup 2]

The vehicle I'm working on has three "weapons", a smoke screen, an M2 .50 cal (Non functional at the moment), and the main armament. This main armament can only work by script, otherwise it doesn't have the desired effect. The problem is I use the "fired" event handler  to run the script, and after some testing I found out, when the smoke screen is deployed, it also sets of the main armament. I've looked through the EH page on the wiki and saw nothing of use, which begs the question, is there a work around for this problem?

 

Thanks

Reference https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Event_Handlers fired will give you some variables you can check to see what is being fired. You can check via weapon, muzzle, or ammo type. Use this to see if it's firing smoke or the correct main armament.

How do I implement the arguments though?

Right now I have this:

 

class Eventhandlers

{

     init = "_ok = _this execVM '\ Init File Path'";

     fired = "_ok = _this execVM '\main armament'";

};

Thank you!

Throw an if statement around the execVM or put the if inside the file you execute for fired. Both have their own benefits being inside config will be more immediate, and inside file will run slightly smoother but slower.

I've deciced on putting the "If" statement in the executed file, but I'm a little confused on the syntax.

If (fired..) then{ // What do I use here to check the weapon?

 

 

 

};

Sorry, I'm new to using EH. Thank you for the assistance so far.

Your config should stay similar, but inside the .sqf you call you should put something like

If (_this select 1 isKindOf "main_armament_classname") then { //insert code for firing main armament };

Perfect, that's what I was looking for. Thank you so much.
