Replacing Vehicles with Wrecks

[D-scythe]

Yeah, I'm new to OFP and its scripts, and was wondering if there was a tutorial or some kind of template from which I can tinker with. I want to replace destroyed units, like a jeep or truck, with a destroyed wreak - not a huge fan of the crumpled look.

I tried the search function, but it's not really getting me anywhere. Any help would be appreciated.

First you need the vehicle wreak types. You may place one of them in the map and put this into its init field:

Code: [Select]

hint format["Type: %1", typeOf this]Copy these types into a doc.

Then, for your replacement functionality you need a script running. Lets say you have 3 M113 you want to check. Run the following script from the init.sqs or from the init field of each unit:

Code: [Select]

[this, "typeofthewreak", 0.9, 30]exec"replaceforwreak.sqs"
And the replaceforwreak.sqs script

Code: [Select]

;replaceofwreak.sqs script
;arguments:
;unit to check
;typeofwreak to use
;maxdamage allowed before change
;delay in seconds before change and after taking max allowed damage

_unit = _this select 0
_typeofwreak = _this select 1
_maxdamage = _this select 2
_delay = _this select 3

@damage _unit >= _maxdamage
~_delay
_pos = getPos _unit
_dir = getDir _unit
deleteVehicle _unit
_wreak = _typeofwreak createVehicle _pos
_wreak setDir _dir
exit
