this is weird - does AnYoNe know how to destroy a unit using the activation field of a trigger?

Is there any way to set a vehicle's status to 'destroyed' without having to hear it go BOOM? Useful if you want to create a mission on the site of a recent battle. I'm thinking of the play/switchmove commands but they only work with humans don't they?

Yea, lower both ammo, health and fuel in the three lines.

And Fire, it must be a syntax error. Try searching the forums for "camcreating bombs" or something like that.

That doesn't work, they still go BOOM. Sometimes they don't even die at all.

Are u sure they are down at 0 % ?

[Drozdov]

Yep. Though maybe when they don't explode they aren't quite. They still go BOOM, which isn't much good. Same with the setdammage 1 command.

If you set a vehicles ammo and fuel to zero, when it is killed (by moving the health slider to the left or by setdammage 1), it will not explode.

I use this all the time, believe me it works

Agent Fire, what version of OFP are you using? I take it you don't have Resistance?

Hey, I camreated heats/shells with 1.0! It oughta work.

[Sui]

Yeah, but the A10 with "laserguidedbomb" was only added later...

I could never get "laserguidedbomb" to work with V1.91 either.

Code: [Select]

_Bomb = ("bomb" camcreate [_XTarget,_YTarget])
_Bomb setdamage 1

Worked for me?

[KyleSarnik]

I would use:

Code: [Select]

bomb = "laserguidedbomb" camcreate (getpos unluckybastard)
Worked for me when I wanted a T72 to get blown sky high  ;D
