Title: car bombs
Post by: nmanjar on 20 Dec 2004, 14:00:39

I like all the car bomb scripts out there and I have my favorites. One commonality though is that they all usually flip the object up in the air and throw it about 20-30 ft. Is there any way to prevent the car from being tossed up in the air like that.

Sure itd move [sometimes] if it was a car bomb, but not quite that dramatic most of time.

there is no explosion but... you can have a tigger:

Condition: Player In Vehicle
Activation: Vehicle setdammage 1

i've seen somewere that you can put an explosion on a certain point (I recomend a HEAT round). But i'm not sure how you do it.

i was thinking, just raise the explosion nearer the top of object.

true... then it will make it go down, but it would have nowere to go so it would just stay there.

you can also do what i told you and make a sound come from the vehicle.

You could try Shell73 or Heat73, they are not as powerful as the other shells:

Code: [Select]

_bomb = "Shell73" camcreate getpos car
or you could try placing several grenades under the car:

Code: [Select]

_bomb1 = "grenade" camcreate getpos car
_bomb2 = "grenade" camcreate getpos car
_bomb3 = "grenade" camcreate getpos car

I've never like using the grenades for stuff like this, but thanks for the other part.

cheers

how about something like:

Code: [Select]

_car = _this select 0
_vel = velocity _car
"shell120" camcreate getpos _car
~.5
_car setvelocity [0,0,0]
_car setvelocity _vel
exit
so it won't fly away and then it will continue moving forward for a little(as long as it takes for it to slow down normally)

well if you tried useing a grenade you'd find out it doesnt destroy the car it only stops the car working, i writ a script for this-
