.oO( Never write a line of code without a spec! )

What is this script supposed to do? Wild guess: make a guy repair a vehicle as soon as it is closer than 30 meters. Open question: should this happen only once or every time the condition is met?

Mean as I am I used the variables guy and car instead of h and hh. To prevent the car from being invulnerable when within the distance it takes the guy five seconds to fix it. If this is not what you wanted simply remove the "~5". The script will stop running as soon as the guy is dead.

Code: [Select]

[] exec "repair.sqs"

Code: (repair.sqs) [Select]

#loop

@ ((car distance guy < 30) and (getDammage car != 0))

?! alive guy : goto "exit"
~5
car setDamage 0
goto "loop"

#exit

Changing the variable names won't make a difference, as long as you change them all.

I haven't checked if it also works if the guy is inside a vehicle but I'll check that later today.

You know that the script can't "resurrect" destroyed vehicles?

The problem is if the trigger has no size, it wont be tripped because west will never be present.
