"if" statement...

[aook002 0]

Hi all,

I'm wondering am I able to make a script execute using an IF clause ? In a kind of an eventhandler way ?

What im trying to do is have a script execute when a certain condition is met. And this condition is when a helicopter reaches half health.

Somrthing like this...

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">If heli = damage 0.5 exec "rotor.sqs"

I know that's completely wrong but I hope it help you to get the drift.

Thanks

Way 1:

Write in the init of the heli:

<span style='color:red'>fixed</span>

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">[this] exec "checkhealth.sqs"

checkhealth.sqs:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">_heli = _this select 0

#check

~1

? ((damage _heli)>0.5) : goto "check"

_heli exec "rotor.sqs"

----

Way 2:

Write in the init of the heli:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">this addEventhandler ["hit", {if ((damage (_this select 0))<=0.5) then {[_this select 0] exec "rotor.sqs"}}]

----

Way 2 would consume less CPU, but I don't know if it worked in every case, you had to try that.

Erm....i cant seem to get it to work  

Would it be easier if I told you the heli was called >> crash.

And that i'm using MrZigs tail rotor script, which needs to be execed something like this

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">[crash,true,2] exec "rotor.sqs"

PS: I'm trying to use the Way 1: Using "checkhealth.sqs"

Thanks

Sorry, I made a mistake in my example above. You have to replace "_this" with "this" in the init (but not inside the addEventHandler command!). I edited this thread now, please try it again.

As long as you write the command in the init of the heli that should crash, you can use this. But at the moment you write the command in some trigger or script, you have to replace this with the name of the chopper, in your case crash.

I don't know about that tail rotor script, do you have to write the command in the init of the helicopter?

<span style='color:red'>Edit:</span> Oh I see what you mean.

In this case you have to edit checkhealth.sqs:

Replace

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">_heli exec "rotor.sqs"

with

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">[_heli,true,2] exec "rotor.sqs

Dunno if that's the right syntax though

hmm could work

Thanks for the reply hardrock, but i still have a slight problem...  

My helicopter is called crash

In the init line of the heli is:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">[this] exec "checkhealth.sqs"; this exec "damage.sqs"

checkhealth.sqs

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">_heli = _this select 0

#check

~1

? ((damage _heli)>0.5) : goto "check"

[_heli,true,2] exec "rotor.sqs

damage.sqs

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">crash setdamage 0.1

~1.5

crash setdamage 0.2

~1.5

crash setdamage 0.3

~1.5

crash setdamage 0.4

~1.5

crash setdamage 0.5

~1.5

crash setdamage 0.6

hint "Helicopter should now be crashing..."

exit

argh forgot the quote

Thanks hardrock, i finally got it working with a few tweaks, and with your help  

All i changed was the addition of the " for the "rotor.sqs". But when i had got this working i found that my helicopter execed the "rotor.sqs" with being full health. So I guessed that I would have to change the...

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">? ((damage _heli)>0.5) : goto "check"

To...

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">? ((damage _heli)<0.5) : goto "check"

I think this is because the damage works the wrong way round in flashpoint like:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">heli setdamage 0.1 means it has 90% health...wierd  

Anyway thanks all
