Destroying static objects

[gc8 970]

Hi

Unless I am mistaken the static objects like sandbags can't be destroyed in arma, am I right or has this been changed?

 

What the devs did add was HitPart EH that works even with static objects (Atleast as far as I know this is new).

 

So I created this script so you can shoot those sandbags with a tank and destroy them:

 

// Find all static objects in mission
_staObjs = nearestObjects [[0,0,0], ["static"], 7000000];

{

_x addEventHandler ["HitPart",
{

scopename "handleHitPart";

{
    _x params ["_target", "_shooter", "_projectile", "_position", "_velocity", "_selection", "_ammo", "_vector", "_radius", "_surfaceType", "_isDirect"];
    
    player globalChat format[" %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 ",_shooter, _target,_selection,_surfaceType,_ammo];
    
    _objDamage = _target getVariable ["objDamage",0];
    
    _ammo params ["_hit"];
    
    _objDamage = _objDamage + _hit;
    
    _target setVariable ["objDamage",_objDamage];
    
    if(_objDamage >= 100) then // Need some value other than 100 here
    {
     deleteVehicle _target;
     breakout "handleHitPart";
    };
    
 } foreach _this;
    
}];

} foreach _staObjs;

 

What this as very least needs is proper "hit points" for the static object etc

 

Edit: Terrain wall objects probably can't be deleted this way (deleteVehicle)

 

Any tips / help with this is appreciated!

 

thx!

Not deleted but hidden

"static" is not a good filter. Too much things are static (gears on ground, tripods..;) use instead "building" (too much things are also buildings), "wall" ,"house"

was thinking the same ... for terrain objects

 

if terrain objs supports setvariable

[pierremgi 4739]

as any object, if I'm right.

Getting some confusion from this post: 

 

 

Possible or not?

[pierremgi 4739]

You're right It seems that some objects (returned by cursorObject with no class (typeOf)) can't get variable.

[gc8 970]

Is it possible to detect if object is destroyable?

 

[gc8 970]

I may have found it:  gettext (configfile >> "CfgVehicles" >> (typeof t) >> "destrType")

 

not sure

 

[pierremgi 4739]

Just a point:

Some objects can't get a variable but can be "damaged".

Example:

cursorObject : 130372: sidewalk_02_narrow_8m_f.p3d

* is detected by nearestTerrainObject

* typeOf cursorObject: ""

* cursorObject setVariable ["test",true]     ......   (cursorObject getVariable "test") stays Nil

* cursorObject setdamage 1   ......                        damage cursorObject  returns 1, but no visual change as there is no model for the damaged sidewalk

* hideObject cursorObject    .... works.  then isObjectHidden cursorObject  is true

 

 

[gc8 970]

cursorObject returns hidden objects?
