Tank killed

[SWIFT88 0]

Basically... I want to know when the unit is killed... Can i replace the model which was currently around with a different model which is signifys a wreck...

i thought i doing this

"killed",{_this exec "playerKilled.sqs"};

however im not sure how to carry on once ive got to disapear one model and make one appear

Must attach something to "dammaged" and "hit" EH's. Later examine damage if it is 1.

Careful, in some situations this may not work perfectly...

class EventHandlers

{

killed = "[_this select 0] exec ""\yourmodel\playerKilled.sqs"" ";

};

or did you mean in mission editor?

Get the position _and_ direction of the original tank using

getpos and getdir, then deleteVehicle on it.

Then, createVehicle the new unit, and position and direct it

using the values. You'll need the 'wreck' defined in the config

so that it can be created, rather than just a p3d file.

Since there's a little 'hitch' when createVehicle happens, it's

often a good idea to create it somewhere far away, _then_

swap the models, so that there's not a few ticks of

'emptiness'.

Also, if you need to, eject the crew by looping over the

crew of the 'old' vehicle, and doMove "eject" on each one.

Hey fellas

I used FAB's tank burning script once upon a time . .. i remember it being the first time i had seen this trickery...and thought it was going to be the norm as no one like seeing the crumpled mess that Ofp leaves as a wreck.

But i have been informed that its a no go for MP

Would it be possible to use a script that catches the tank just before it blows .... to chuck out the crew and empty any fuel and ammo .... and lock it , leaving the blackened original vehicle with smoke and fire effects ?

And also to make it indestructable so that further hits do not crumple it .

Where do people get this idea that crews are blown from their vehicles when hit.

Ah yes Hollywood.

deletevehicle _UKF_Warrior

_UKF_Warrior = "UKF_WarriorDES"

_UKF_Wreck = "UKF_Wreck" createvehicle [0,0,0]

exit

Swift - Are you still having problems? If you use the event

handler like CSJ suggested, then your sqs should look

something like this:

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

; Get the original apc as passed by the EH

_warrior = _this select 0

; Get the position and direction

_pos = getpos _warrior

_dir = direction _warrior

; Create the wreck

_wreck = "UKF_Wreck" createVehicle[0,0,0]

; Kill the original apc

deleteVehicle _warrior

; Position and direct the wreck

_wreck setpos _pos

_wreck setdir _dir

; Call the fire and debris effects with the wreck

[_wreck] exec {addeffects.sqs}

exit

Hmm , time to come clean..

As a team we dont have experience in getting armoured addons in game..

We are trying to get the UKF Warrior out for christmas and scripting aside .. i have to say that at the mo it handles like a sack of shit in game ... there are lots of things that need changing in the .cfg

 I / We need someone who is experienced in getting armoured units into Ofp .

Reply to this post or via PM if you are interested .
