How can I create wrecked vehicles without them bursting into flames?

[SirRarius 0]

I need to create some wrecked (preferably burned out) vehicles in a mission. They do not have matching wreck classes in CfgVehicles (T90 and Avenger for example) so I can't just spawn them.

I have tried spawning the vehicles and doing a "setDamage 1" on them, but they always explode and burn... just what I don't want. I need them to be old burned out wrecks.

Help?

1) Make a unit and set it to 'Player'

2) Open up Spawn menu, go to Side, scroll down to Empty

3) Look for Wrecks tab

4) ???

5) Profit!

If you set their health, fuel and ammo to 0 then they should be fine. If they have fuel and ammo then they'll burn and go bang

As I mentioned, there is no T90 wreck, nor is there an Avenger wreck...

I should also have pointed out that I need to do this in code.

Aha... That sounds very pausible. I'll try it out tomorrow.

I have just tested that and it doesn't work. I put the following code in:

_v = _type createVehicle _pos;

_v setDir _dir;

removeAllWeapons _v;

_v setFuel 0;

_v setDamage 1;

and it still bursts into flames!

Any more suggestions?

Create them in the sea and damage them and then move it to your location.

Water puts out fire.

I may be wrong but

removeAllWeapons

won't work on vehicles only on people

Other than dunking them in the water you can do it this way.

place this in the objects init box, the name of the object is t1 for this test.

t1 setPos [getpos t1 select 0, getpos  t1 select 1,  -0.2]; t1 setdamage 1;t1 enableSimulation false;

According to the biki removeAllWeapons does the following... "Remove all weapons and magazines of the unit. On vehicles only ammo is removed"

Ahaaaa! Got it!!!

enableSimulation false;

does exactly what I want... Thanks
