Using getHit in a script to check repair state?

[ToastedWARFACE 0]

Hi, obligatory "I'm new to scripting". I've been trying to use the command getHit on a triggers Condition box to check the repair state of a vehicle but can't figure it out and can't get any search results that really help. Anyone willing to help me out?

Yes! And welcome to the rabbithole

 

But i need every line of code you used and the context:) 

Also describe the trigger settings and how it is linked to your vehicle. 

 

Cheers

Haha, thanks, love it already!

I've got a vehicle namned vehicle_start, when it hits a trigger, it has a set damage module that kills the engine. So I've written into its initilazation:
if ((Vehicle_Start getHit "engine") < 0.5) == REPAIRSTATE;
But I can't find an answer to what kind of number getHit outputs, if it's in whole numbers or if it's a decimal like I've assumed.. REPAIRSTATE is then used by a trigger to determine if vehicle_start has been repaired after the first set damage module has activated. All triggers are set to the vehicle, non-repeatable (nothing special).

Thanks in advance!

This is not a valid sqf, the pages you need to look at:
