Detect if object hits roof etc

[Taylor1984 14]

Hi

 

I want to make a destroyed quadcopter explode once it hits the ground, a building, rock, tree and any other object that's in the way of its fall.

 

I know how to use 

getPosATL quadcopter select 2 <= 1

to detect when it hits the ground but for eg buildings nothing happens once it hits the roof. I thought ATL would work for any terrain.

 

Thanks

Use the epeecontact eventhandler https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Event_Handlers#EpeContactStart

Nope, ATL means exactly that, Above Terrain Level.

Have a sniff around the boundingbox commands. The boundingboxes are unreliable for X and Y of buildings, but for the Z, ie the height, they are pretty good. With some trick code, you should be able to sense when the quadcopter is within the boundingbox.

You can wait for velocity object isEqualTo [0,0,0]

You could try isTouchingGround, not sure if it works when on top of rocks though? Worth a try. See Wiki comments.

Velocity _drone select 2 did the trick. Thanks.
