Setvelocity of a flare

[TheRedBaron 0]

Is there an easy way of setting the velocity of a flare, oh and can you set the velocity of a person to make them jump and such just curious

Theres a very good jump script on www.ofpec.com in the beta script board. The only thing it needs a jump animation.

May be a little more complicated since I don't think you can actually name a flare. You need to detect the flare then assign a velocity to it.

I just wrote a script to this and tested it - seems to work OK. Multiplies the velocity by a factor of XYZ. Can send flares very far. Use it and abuse it - modify it as you need.

;// Quick script witten by BadBlood [STO]

;// Multiplies the velocity of a flare by a factor of XYZ

;//

;// - Place the following line in the init.sqs file

;//         player addEventHandler ["fired",{_this exec "FarFlare.sqs"}]

;// Change VelX, VelY, and VelZ to be the desired veloctity multiples

_VelX = 4

_VelY = 4

_VelZ = 8

;// Get the object fired

_Flare = nearestObject [vehicle(player), _this select 4]

;// Check to see if it's a flare - if not exit

?!(typeOf _Flare == "FLARE" || typeOf _Missile == "FLAREGREEN" || typeOf _Missile == "FLAREYELLOW" || typeOf _Missile == "FLARERED") : exit

;// Change the velocity

_Flare setvelocity [((velocity _Flare select 0) * _VelX),((velocity _Flare select 1) * _VelY),((velocity _Flare select 2) * _VelZ)]

exit

You can name a flare that you camcreate. But you would need to detect it if it's being fired from the 203.
