Title: timed fuse
Post by: Tobbs on 19 Feb 2010, 16:06:29

Hi. I'm making a script that will detonate a projectile after a given ammount of time. I've successfully used eventhandler "fired" to catch a projectile and then vehiclecreate'd a bomb to the coords of the projectile after the time elapsed.

Problem is that this seems to work well for slow projectiles but not so for fast ones (>1500m/s)

I'm guessing the shell leaves the 50m range of "nearestObject" before the script has time to catch it.

Anyone of you olde' scripthogs got any ideas?

Catch the bullet "in" the eventhandler, not in the script it executes

For example:

Code: [Select]

unit addEventHandler ["fired",{(nearestObject [_this select 4,_this select 0]) execVM "script.sqf"}] :dunno:
