bigcheese, I won't mock you  :P

  I've been playing around with making addons recently, and lemme just say I've had many an experience with OFP crashing to the desktop with no explanation. You would need to make a custom addon for your mission, but it is possible to do exactly what you want (I know, unfortunately...  :( )

  PM me and I can show you. But could I be let in on the secret then? I promise I wouldn't tell anybody!  ::)

guys, calm down a lil bit

I couldn't see bigcheese been asking anywhere in this
thread how to do damage to anyones pc.

All i could see was him asking for: how to make the game
ctd.

You all accuse him to want to make damage to other's pc's.
That's not what he was asking for.

Maybe someone could have just answered:

"No it's not possible to do what you want in a 100% secure
way without the risk of making damage to someone elses
pc - at least AFAIK"

over & out

The only scenario I can imagine this to work in would be a Matrix mod where you get 'unplugged'. Even then it's a bit extreme to quit the whole game. It kind of forces something on the user that they don't really want. Especially if they want to carry on playing a different mission without having to load the game again.

I really don't see why everyone thinks it would be so "harsh" to quit the program. Oh my god, is it that hard to simply open up ofp again? It's not like you can have anything up that you need to save or anything. Seeings how I don't think anyone has ever done this before, it could be a very unique and memorable effect. Depending on how/why it is implemented, of course.

Oh btw - i forgot to mention that above:

Personally i don't like the idea of gettin shutdown OFP
without meself having clicked onto QUIT.

However, not my problem - will be yours and those who like
the idea.

If I was ever to review a mission which shuts down ofp I'd give it a flat 0 and the worst beating ever, even if it was ment to do so in the mission plot.

I don't know what all the fuss is about.   You're running a Windows OS, right?   And you want it to crash, right?

This is just like going on a date with a girl who's drinking neat vodka.   All you have to do is wait ...

I guess they simply consider CTD the fastest way to shut down Operation Flashpoint (loading and unloading ofp takes quite long on computers with less than 1Ghz)

might come in handy for those playing & editing OFP when they're not supposed to!  :-X

You'd have to play to the point in the mission where the CTD occurs ::) .

Don't forget: radio-calls / custom actions   ;)

Yeah, then you can accidently send the wrong radio signal (I do it often when in combat) and CTD :P >:( .

But then you still don't need to play the mission until
you reach the CTD point.

Anyway this may become (or is) a rather pointless discussion,
as i never said that it's good to have a radio-call-CTD.  :D

Let's do some useful stuff again (*where's me cigarettes*)  ;D

You know bigcheese, you make it very strange...
The fact is that you feel somewhat guilty for asking that... At first, there's absolutely no reason...

"at the moment we just have to alt-f4 it every time in the previews"
What would the Alt-F4 combination do, except quiting the game? Can you tell us what's this non-sense?... And how can crashing your computer produce such an effect?

"its just one of those things that no one believes until they see it"
Well, actually, telling us what it IS might be the first step to believing it or not...
