Title: destroying objects in ArmA
Post by: Trash Can Man on 21 Jun 2008, 06:12:09

I am making a mission in which part of the mission objective is destroying and object that's already on the island. after doing a bit of searching, all I could find was this:

Condition: (getDammmage target01) == 1

when I applied it, I got an error say missing ). what do I put in the condition field of a trigger showing a specific target has been destroyed?

condition: getDamage target01 == 1
condition: !alive target01

TrashCanMan;

was this a vehicle or person of somesort?

Cause there should be no problem if it was, but I don't know about objects. such as buildings.

it's actually a radio tower on Sahrani (southern). The ID number is 8011. I've tried a few combinations and came up blank.  :dunno:

Theres your problem, I'm not aware of ID number tests, however if you've assigned a variable to it should work.

Try a:

Code: [Select]

target1 setdamage 1;

In a radio trigger, if it gets destroyed, then I have no idea. If it doesnt, then check your assigning of the variable among other things.

TCM,

If you were to unPBO the laser guide mission in ofp resistance there was some way of getting the bridge damage to see if the lgbs hit.

It was something like [(object #######) getdammage = 1]. Maybe it might work in ArmA

I'd tell you how to do it exactly, but I don't quite remember.

well, this didn't work either....

@romm I tried what you suggested, but still came up empty. Maybe this just isn't possible.  :dunno:

It's possible and quite easy infact.

Place a game logic near or on the radio tower, name it something, like target01.

Then the trigger condition:

Code: [Select]

damage ((position target01) nearestObject 8011) == 1

What Luke suggested won't work because the command object doesn't work in ArmA.

After trying "h's" idea, it still didn't work. here is how I set his proposal up: let me know what went wrong.  ???

ok, I went back using an old reliabe trick by connecting the object to a trigger. Thanks very much for all your help.
