Car Bomb Script Help

[iceman77 18]

Iam trying to get my carbomb script working..It is supposed to 1).Detect if the unit is in the vehicle. 2).detect if the speed of the car is greater than five. 3).blow up if both conditions are met..

the unit gets in the car and it blows up instantly...obviously the syntax is messed up or something...

it gives me a "generic error in expression" error  

Quote[/b] ]?(_unit in _vehicle) and (|#|_vehicle speed >5):goto....

here is the script below..any help would be appreciated.

_unit = _this select 0

_vehicle = _this select 1

#update

?(_unit in _vehicle) and (_vehicle speed >5):goto "bomb"

~2

:goto "update"

#bomb

~5

_vehicle setdammage 1

_unit setdammage 1

exit

mmm... seems problem of "speed" command:

Your parameter is first.. and must be after the command

Try this:

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

?((_unit in _vehicle) && ( speed _vehicle >5)): goto "bomb";

And think about convert and use SQF in your scripts ...

GoTo doesn't work in SQF though.

You don't need the : before the GoTo "update"

thanks guys..it works now..Dachevs is correct..you don't need the : before the goto "update" command...iam assuming that the goto command after the : will only activate if a certain condition is met   i.e. : goto "blowup"  when the unit is in the vehicle and the vehicle is going over the speed of 5

we want the script to keep checking if the unit is in the vehicle and is going over speed of 5

therefore no need for the :

Iam a noob scripter trying to learn...please correct anything i've said in this post if it's incorrect..

Here's a similar script to the one i've posted above...exept i want the vehicle explode when the units inside the vehicle and the vehicles engine is on..

iam getting another generic error in expression

Quote[/b] ]?(_unit in _vehicle)and(|#|engineon _vehicle):goto...

_unit = _this select 0

_vehicle = _this select 1

#update

?(_unit in _vehicle)and(engineon _vehicle):goto "blowup"

~2

goto "update"

#blowup

_vehicle setdammage 1

_unit setdamage 1

~3

player sidechat "Took care of that punk!"

exit

Yes... excuse my bad english... i never said that that code was sqf... i said "think about convert.."

You are right!! I didn´t see the ":"

?(_unit in _vehicle)and(|#|engineon _vehicle):goto...

May be the problem is engineon command... try isEngineOn

http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/isEngineOn

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

?((_unit in _vehicle) and (isEngineOn _vehicle)) : goto...

No problem blackgrain.

@TexasBDA

As for the : , I believe this is only needed when you are using it for a unit, just as you said Like ?(Unit1 == player) : GoTo "blank".

Good luck

Hope you get your scripts workin.
