Destroying vehicles

[Agent Fire]

I was wondering what was the best way to destroy vehicles; I often use mines on armoured vehicles, but is there an 'on activation' command that I can put on a trigger that will destroy a unit? :hmm:

[DrStrangelove]

Make a vehicle, name vehicle1 (or whatever)
then make a trigger that is activated by whatever
OnActivation: vehicle1 setdammage 4     (makes vehicle explode)

Or instead:
vehicle1 setdammage 1     (makes vehicle kaputt and burn a bit)


*gg*  ;D

[Agent Fire]

kaputt and burn a bit? hmmm... I THINK I'll go for 4 this tim...

[Agent Fire]

that works and everything, but It doesn't make a vehicle flip into the air at 200mph like mines do... any ideas?

[macguba]

camCreate a couple of LGBs at the vehicle's location.

[Agent Fire]

What exactly would I put in the activation field to do that?

[dmakatra]

"syntax not guaranteed"

Dunno about LGB, never use em but Heats would do fine. Something like this:

bomb="heat125" camcreate getpos setpos tank1; bomb="heat125" camcreate getpos setpos tank1; bomb="heat125" camcreate getpos setpos tank1; bomb="heat125" camcreate getpos setpos tank1

Something like that.

It says 'reserved variable in expression"

i blow up stuff alot so i got the syntax
tank1 is your vehicle

"laserguidedbomb" camcreate (getpos tank1)

that simple

wont work with some planes though, sometimes, the planes just drop them (which is also kinda cool)

[dmakatra]

It says 'reserved variable in expression"

yea, that's because the syntax's wrong. But I can't remember the correct one.

[Agent Fire]

now it says "type object expect nothing"

[_Ross_]

thats really not normal
in my script, i use this exact line to create the bomb in a carpet bombing script

"laserguidedbomb" camcreate (getpos tank1)

its pasted right out of the script and  it works fine

try maybe using different weapons like "rocket57"

[dmakatra]

now it says "type object expect nothing"

Have you named your tank tank1?
