Is it possible to find out,

[Maje-tyTheDogg 0]

Hi!

I ask this because of making some new smoke effects for a plane. Is it possible? I need a script that tells me the position where my plane is hit like:

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

_x =?(where is my plane hit)

drop fireeffect getpos [_x]

<span id='postcolor'>

because I want smoke effects after a hit...

(sorry for the bad english but I hope you understand me)

Thank you.

Just use

Drop fireeffect getpos yourplane

Then to detect that your plane has hit the ground and stands still

yourplane [getpos select 2] > 10

Speed yourplane == 0

I'm don't sure about the syntax so you'll need to lock'em up!

Man, what the f**k!

Do you think I am silly?

...

Sorry, but I am no newbie, I did really much smokescripts (No man's Land Mod, Berlin 1942, AIA, Fieseler Storch, Tank Burn scripts, etc!!!!, you don't undastand my question, I thought of something like it they did in the blood addon, like if I shoot at the back of my plane, the script will tell this to me with the coordinates where the plane was hitten. I think it must be possible, because if you shoot in the head of a soldier in ofp, the blood comes out of tha head, not out of tha leg :-).

Do you now know what I mean?? Please help me

The dammaged event handler is suppost to give you a selection name that was hit, however I can't get this EH to work right now, not sure why.

Try a call to this script from your event handler-</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">_numberElements = count _this

_i = 0

_theText = ""

while "_i < _numberElements" do {_theText = _theText + format["_this select %1 = %2\n",_i,_this select _i]; _i= _i + 1}

cutText [_theText,"PLAIN"]

;or use

;hint format["%1",_theText]

exit<span id='postcolor'>

The "dammaged" handler doesnt work on planes or other vehicles.

No the EH does not trigger at all.

I don't fully understand your last sentence, are you saying the dammaged EH does not work on planes and other vehicles?

Here is something to test EH's:

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">obj addEventHandler ["name",{player sidechat format ["%1",_this]}];<span id='postcolor'>

(Fixed that last sentence, should make sense now.)

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">are you saying the dammaged EH does not work on planes and other vehicles?

<span id='postcolor'>Yes that is what I was saying.

My original post was not directed at you bn880, just posted to share a script (with the OP) that I came up with when I was playing around with event handlers.

Euh, I tryed some stuff with the EH, but I think there is now way... But it must be possible!
