Title: Ethernal problem: silenced weapon EH.
Post by: bardosy on 07 Sep 2006, 09:51:51

I read a lot of topic in this theme, but I can't find the answer to my question...

There is no ultimate solution to detect (with EH) a unit fire with silenced/not silenced weapon?

I mean, I know I can check the weapon and ammo type with what fired, but only checking this weapon/ammo is in an array or not. But there is a lot of weapon in the Addons and lot of ammos (in JAM too). I need a function which check the ammo/weapon type as a string it is contain the two letter "SD" or not contain.

Is it possible?

unfortunately there is no string manipulation in flashpoint, so there's no way to detect if "SD" is part of a string. the only way to do this reliably would be to construct an array of all the silenced weapons that exist for flashpoint.  :confused:

Thanks badges!

An other (it's a nooby) question:
What have I check in a silenced weapon sqs: the weapon or the ammo?

this is the way i do it -

Code: [Select]

player addEventHandler ["fired",{if ("_this select 1 == _x" count ["GlockS","Bizon","HK","Uzi"] == 0) then {loud = true}}]
in other words, it checks the weapon. if it's not in the array of silenced weapons then the loud variable is set to true.
