Reducing units taken damage with trigger

[jonipetteri 11]

Hello guys!

 

Can someone tell me what is the command to reduce taken damage? (Or increase health?)

 

And the other way around... What is the command to get it back to "normal"?

 

I'm trying to make a bomb suit setup, when player is wearing certain vest_classname, he can take survive even from the biggest explosions of the game...

 

 

Thanks in advance!

not tested but should reduce the damage to the half:

_unit addEventHandler ["HandleDamage", 
{
params ["_unit", "_selection", "_damage"];
(_damage * 0.5)
}];

hi, i have a question related to this.

i played a bit with your code to change it to my suiting but without success so my question is:

how would i script it so that a unit would only survive 10 shots no matter which caliber.

danke

Tested this in init of the trigger in the editor. Didn't work. Alltough didn't throw any errors... Can you help with this? Am I missing something?

 

 

Trigger:

Any player

Present

On Activation: hint "Superhuman!"; _unit addEventHandler ["HandleDamage", {params ["_unit", "_selection", "_damage"];(_damage * 0.5)}];

Normal.

_unit doesn't mean nothing in your trigger.

It's a little bit weird to activate this kind of EH in a trigger.

Prefer

player addEventHandler ["HandleDamage", {

  params ["_unit", "_selection", "_damage"];

  _damage = if (_unit inArea theTriggerNameYouWant) then [{_damage * 0.5},{_damage}];
  _damage

}];

Not a professional, so I might be weird. Now the trigger is activated when player is wearing certain vest.

 

Do you think it would be better to do this (MP) via script?

Sure!

Okay. 

If I run "[] execVM ""activate.sqf"";" in trigger activation and "[] execVM ""deactivate.sqf"";" in other trigger, do I have to run some kind of code to stop running the first script (activate.sqf)?

 

Hope you understand what I'm trying to ask.

You don't need 2 triggers. Perhaps one for the area... and just a condition for your code in your event handler. Simple as that. The understanding effort is on your side.
