Destroying Map Objects

[greg147]

Hi all,

I've noticed that the command seems to have changed from OFP. 'object XXXXXX setdamage 1' doesn't work any more.

Does anyone know what the new code is?

Thanks

In ArmA you need first to get the object:

Code: [Select]

_object = _position nearestObject objectId

Ah, thanks.

Having a bit of trouble getting it to work though, havn't used nearestObject before. How would that fit into a script file with the setdamage line?

You need the position closest to the map building or object you want to destroy, so you should place a gamelogic or a marker quite close to it, lets suppose your logic is name "log_target" and the map object is 112234:

Code: [Select]

// SQF code
_object = (getPos log_target) nearestObject 112234;
if (!isNull _object) then
{
   _object setDamage 1;
};


Code: [Select]

// SQS code
_object = (getPos log_target) nearestObject 112234
? !isNull _object: _object setDamage 1
