boat/ship class

[Scud 0]

Ok I asked this 8 months to a year ago now with no response so I will try and put it as simple as possible.

When 2 planes collide they go bonk, get some dammage!

When 2 boats collide nothing happens, no dammage, no fireworks no wrinkle action.

Why is this so?

I need to know when 1 boat hits another. At the mo the only way I can think of doing that is by the dammage but if there is no dammage I can't do it.

Is there another way to detect when 2 boats collide?

Any1

Plz

Ps. and I am not talking about my models, Pbr lst etc none record dammage.

I've noticed this too.

I suppose one way of detecting if 2 boats collide is to check their distance apart.

At a certain set distance they could be said to have collided.

Yep, I have been working on a simple script for this but I need something that will detect any unit/ boat in the water from zodiac to aircraft carrier.

How about something like:

_target = nearestobject [player, "ship"]

or

_target = nearestobject [myship, "ship"]

I'm not too sure if it might detect the players ship as the nearest ship or not.

Tried those Plank, tossed around a few variables and best I could do was - the 'ship' detected itself at start of game

or - nothing happened at all.

The wierd thing is you can hit it with a bullet and get dammage but ram it with a boat doing 70+ and the 2 objects just bounce of each other and keep going as if nothing happened.

Might have to change to a different class I think.

lol - different class doesnt work coz the boats can't dammage it anyway.

oh well another project on the shelf for a rainy day.
