Title: Detect Satchel touched off.
Post by: The-Architect on 30 Sep 2005, 03:34:12

How do I check if a satchel has been touched off?

I want a base to go haywire if I detonate a satchel charge.

hmm...

Add a "fired" eventHandler for the unit placing the satchel, like this:

Code: [Select]

this addEventHandler ["fired",{[if (_this select 4 == "PipeBomb") then {(nearestObject [_this select 0,_this select 4]) exec "placed.sqs"}]
and in init.sqs something like MYTAG_baseGoHaywire=false

Then, in the placed.sqs something like this

Code: [Select]

#loop
~1
? alive _this: goto "loop"

MYTAG_baseGoHaywire=true
And then of course for example a trigger having a condition MYTAG_baseGoHaywire which would then set the base go haywire...


None of the syntaxes or 'code' have guarantees whatsoever :P

Give a "fired" event handler to the unit placing the satchel, then in the script called by that event handler start a loop that checks the "typeOf" of the satchel.  When the "typeOf" is no longer the same as the original "typeOf" then you know the sachel has exploded.

Variations are endless, but the basic idea still stands...

You can use isNull, alive, damage, typeOf...
