Title: Setdamage error
Post by: Gruntage on 19 Feb 2010, 17:48:04

G'day all

For some reason when i execute setdamage from the init of a unit like this:

Code: [Select]

this setdamage -10
and then put this in front:

Code: [Select]

this addeventhandler ["hit", {this setdamage -10}];
i get an error 'type bool expected object' whenever i shoot the unit. Why does this happen  ??? Ive tried it on other units on different maps and i dont get an error.

Im using an addon island do some commands not work on addon islands?
Thx in advance

Damage goes from 0 to 1, 0 being no damage and 1 being full damage.

in arma setdammage can have negative values as well.

Because there is no "this" inside the eventhandler, but rather a local _this which is an array that contains all the data for the eventhandler (who was hit, who hit him, the amount of damage, I think):

Code: [Select]

this addeventhandler ["hit", {(_this select 0) setdamage -10}];
That should work.  :good:
