how do i exit flashpoint?

[bigcheese]

Bare with me, this isn't a dumb joke.

Is there any string or command that will exit flashpoint from IN the game, via a script etc.  

Or failing that, has anyone ever run into a seris of commands that will crash the game and exit back to windows - with no explanation whatsoever from the game or windows,

Pls reply

Cheers

Why the **** do you wanna do that?

No.......but these things can happen when a mission encounters problems like missing addons or badly configured addons.

Or the game runs into a fatal system error or no memory.

As The real Armstrong so delicately put it, why do you want to be able to exit flashpoint with a command.

I mean thats why good old Mr Gates invented the 'Alt'  'F4' combination.

However, like i always say, whatever floats ya boat, so if I run across it, I will tell ya

Sry, maybe i didnt make it clear enough

I'm making a mission at the moment, basicly this is how it goes

The player is set an objective,
and upon failing it (if he/she does) the the game will terminate with some special effects etc

Unfortunatly the other members of my group have forbiden me to disclose any more info, but TRUST me, i know it sounds crap, and a pain in the arse having to load it all up again and start again, but the player wont want to. - it is realy cool to watch. but at the moment we just have to alt-f4 it every time in the previews.

So if any one knows, maybe some clever person with experience in computer programing how it can be done, (Maybe based on how flashpoint exits, when clicking exit on the main menu), pls reply

Well I think its a terrible idea, but Im not one to not spead the knowledge.

The only way I can think of doing it is creating a drop particle script that loops for ever, it will eventually eat up all the computers memory and crash flashpoint.

I say again though;  Worst idea ever.

ok i probably shouldn't be telling u this, but here we go:

If u mess around with global variables long enough u will eventualy find one BIS already used, messing around with these can cause conflicts ant thus CTD's.

i'm not gonna explain it in detail, cause i'm not sure if i like what ur doing. but this info should be enough.

[icarus_uk] believe me i had the exact same reaction as you, if not worse, when the rest of the group told me what would happen. (I joined half way through), i thought they were just having a joke, but when jack (the project leader) showed me, i realy opened up my mind,

It dosen't contain any gore or pornography, or anything like that, but it makes you think...

I wish i could tell you more, but i can't even tell you the project name.

Sry...

Hey man, if the game crashes I'm not gonna play that mission, you might need to do some stuff with the core gamefiles(like MachoMan suggested)and screw every1s OFP up, I suggest you find some other way.

Using a lot of memory till it crashes can cause severe damage to your comp, it might not only crash your OFP, it might crash your comp as well.

The only "peaceful" crash I can think of must be a description.ext problem. The problem with this is that it'll crash as soon as you start the game.

Look bigcheese,

No one here is against you, its just your making it very hard for us to understand why you want to crash the game,

As far as were concerned there is no reason whatsoever why any one would want to quit back into windows as a consequence to a mission!

Maybe if you told us more we could understand, but if the mission is as you say it is then you got me curious.

However the guys are right, a forced crash due to a program error can cause damage to ANY active file running at the same time, game crashes have been known to crash entire operating systems unintentionally - so I don't think should be messing around with it, and defiantly don't distribute it! – Unless you can secure an actual command that will quit out safely,

What your doing is like knocking someone out which a baseball bat who can’t sleep, It may do the job, but could cause brain damage – potential death!

But as far as im concerned I wont download anything that poses a potential threat to my PC, sry, nothing personal – I’m sure the mission itself is good.

For God's sake, what's wrong with forceend?!?

[icarus_uk]

ForceEnd finishes the mission, this chap crazily want to dump you back to windows.

The point of a game is to play it.  I dont think there would be anyone who would on purpose want to crash their game.  I have a feeling this is going to be one of those things that the people who are making it think its going to be really amazing, but no one else is going to even look at it.

I know that's what he wanted to do, I was asking what was wrong with just ending the mission.

but no one else is going to even look at it.

Especially if it's known that the mission crashes your computer.

Yeah, like look at me i can make a windows pc crash  

Hey i can do that by just looking at the thing     ;D

[bigcheese]

Fine,

i know where Im not wanted, Ill just go and hang myself  (find's rope)

but let me just say i had the EXACTLY the same thoughts as all of you - until I saw it, and Im not easily impressed,  (ties noose)

its just one of those things that no one believes until they see it (hang's self - rope snaps)

Anyway Ill leave this open so you can finish me off    (reaches for gun)

sry guys (redecorates wall in 'hint of red')
