[solved] engineOn by proximity to player?

[reggaeman007jah 31]

Hi all,

 

I am sorry for the simple question, I hope you can help me out with this..

 

I have two unitPlay helis for a mission, and I would like both helis to fire up (i.e. engineOn) when I walk near them (instead of the engines both being on from the start of the mission - as per 'engineOn true' in the init of the heli). Could someone be kind enough to suggest the line of code needed in the proximity trigger to make this happen please?

 

Again, sorry for such a simple question..

 

Thank you

Add this to init field of helicopter.

 

_e = this spawn 
{
	waitUntil { sleep 0.5; (_this distance player) < 10 };
	_this engineOn true;
};

Not tested

change

[this]

 

to

this

 

since you are refering to it with _this inside the code and not _this select 0.

 

also that code he posted is made for the init line not a proximity trigger. just a heads up.
