Eventhandlers for sui

[Tim Pink]

Hi everyone

ok i have a problem with a certain thing called an eventhandler

ok i have a helicopter with waypoints to an extraction but i want one of the waypoints to be synched with a trigger that will only activate when you throw a smokeshell at the LZ

ive thought about using it so that when the triggers realizes that the shell has been thrown it sets the choppers fuel to full(but thats a bit beyond me)

and if anyone can answer this : how do i make the chopper come to wherever the player is after the smokeshell is thrown?

Thanx

Hey Tim,

An event handler is something that activates when a certain Event happens. To get what you're after, you'll want to use a "Fired" event handler.

In the player's init line, type:

smokin = false; this addEventHandler ["Fired",{if (_this select 4 == "Smokeshell") then {smokin = true}}]

The first part sets the variable smokin to false. We'll use this to get your chopper moving.

The next part adds the event handler. What happens, is everytime the player fires a shot (or throws a smokeshell), the line:

{if (_this select 4 == "Smokeshell") then {smokin = true}}

is actiavated. So it checks to see if the player has thrown smoke, and if so makes smokin true.

So if you sync a trigger to your chopper's waypoint, and make the condition: smokin, then the chopper will move after the player has thrown a smokeshell.

To change the colour of the smoke, simply change "smokeshell" to "smokeshellred" or "smokeshellgreen".

Hope that helps you out
