A bug: allowDammage is broken

[Fishu 0]

I tried to have indestructable vehicles toggled on and off with 'allowDammage', but they did still take damage when allowdammage was false.

I loaded mission which I made in 1.20, with surely indestructable vehicles and instead those were vulnerable.

I seem to recall that BIS disabled allowDammage a long time ago in order to prevent misuse in MP games. Yes, it's sometimes a pain to mission makers trying to test things out.

Geez.. I can't use it in singleplay now when I really need it

and the mission I mentioned I made in 1.20, was multiplay mission where allowdammage protected unnused vehicles from being vulched by the players.

Yeah. If you read the documentation it state that allowDammage is "obsolete".

There is a way to almost simulate this though. In the condition field of a trigger type something similar to:

getDammage jeep > 0

and in the onactivation field type:

jeep setDammage 0

I haven't tried this on vehicles, but on a unit it will allow the unit to survive even when killed, unless subject to excessive damage, like a grenade and a shower of bullets simultaneously.
