Detecting buildings destroyed

[strider42 64]

When you end a multiplayer game you can get a list of your kills.  That will include any buildings you destroyed.

 

Is there any way of accessing this information while the game is running?

 

I want to be able to detect buildings destroyed so if the players start destroying lots of them I can punish them as it will not go down well with the local population.  S

There's no magic list that you can access. You'll need to index all the buildings, add a eventhandler that tracks damage (what, by who) for each building.

You might experiment with these:

Buildings belong to CfgVehicles, but I don't know if allDead will return them or not. Worth experimenting. I know when I blow up comms towers they immediately show in my stats as a civilian kill.....which is silly, but that's beside the point.

 

Nevermind, none of those detect buildings despite being CfgVehicles.

Thanks for the replies.  It is nice to know I am not missing something.

 

I'll look into polling round all the buildings on the map and work out what rate I can run it without an impact on the frame rate but it will have to go on the back burner for now.  S

Please post your solution when you get there.  And...players should be punished hard and often!

Sometimes I don't know whether to "like" or "haha" a post.....
