check if a DemoCharge_F is detonated close to a Submarine_01_F

[Play3r 143]

I want to check if a player has detonated a DemoCharge_f close to the vanilla SubMarine so i can finish a task.

I have done it once where i used a gamelogic to see if player did it to a gastank, but i can't find that old mission anymore.

 

Anyone got a idea how i can solve this BIG problem for me. 🤔

Hello there Play3r !

 

If there are no other explosions except the certain , then you can use an evenhandler from the start in this object or else you can add this in the certain time that you want , probably with a trigger.

 

You can use this :

or a simple trigger with:

{_x inArea thisTrigger} count allMissionObjects "#explosion" > 0

allmissionobjects? nearestObjects would be much cheaper on the CPU and can find "#explosion" or "#krater".

But what if something else explodes, like a grenade?

Shouldn't we use the "fired" EH to track placed charges instead with the "put" weapon type?

 

 

Untested :

this addEventHandler ["Fired", {
	params ["_unit", "_weapon", "_muzzle", "_mode", "_ammo", "_magazine", "_projectile", "_gunner"];
	if (_weapon isEqualTo "Put" && _mag isEqualTo "DemoCharge_f") exitWith {
		waitUntil {sleep 0.1; !alive _projectile};
		/*code*/
	};
}];

Although the Submarine, last time I looked couldn't take damage, it would be worth adding an explosion EH to it and seeing if any useable results came back, just as George suggested earlier.

Did u test it or it's a simple supposition?

Oh yes, tested. I use it to sense explosions near bridge objects. I do other things too, such as the explosion EH, plus checking for kraters (sic) on the ground underneath the object.

The trigger solution somehow not always work.

my trigger is this:

cond:

{_x inArea thisTrigger} count allMissionObjects "#explosion" > 0 

Act:

Subtask setdamage 1; Subtask is a variable that see if trigger is fire so the  SubTasktrigger  succeeded can fire

and nothing more..

The sub is in the water and i have made a trigger that is the same length a the sub + 10 in each end,

the trigger is 25 width and is 150 high but it will not fire every time i try the task.

 

The EH i have never used before and i don't know where to put it

Is it on the sub ? that gives me a error something about a global variable on a local something

if i put inside the trigger nothing happens?? 

 

any idea what i do wrong..

Try your trigger with a simple hint as activation code. At least you will see (read) something. If it doesn't work every time, that means the explosion is not inside the trigger (volume)

The problem with a EH "fired" is that you need to apply it on all the units supposed to blow this charge (and it's an unscheduled scope btw, so forget waitUntil w/o spawning the inner code).

For the EH "explosion", you need to apply it on submarine (init field is OK)... but it works if there is some damage on it. not tested. Read and follow BIKI.

If you use this EH (not tested), you don't need a trigger to detect the explosion.
