Makeing a house "indestructable"

[xXNismoXx]

I'm makeing a CTF map and have been playing around with it looking for problems, I noticed after nading mutipul times one of the houses got destroyed.  This is what i did:

Made a game logic

put in "game logic's" init field this:

house= "dum09" createvehicle getpos this; house setdir getdir this; this addeventhandler ["hit",{_this select 0 setdammage 0}]

what happens is this, house is created exactly where I want it, but it still gets destoyed after nading it... can anyone plz point me in the right direction?

house= "dum09" createvehicle getpos this; house setdir getdir this; this addeventhandler ["hit",{_this select 0 setdammage 0}]

Since you added the event handler into the gamelogics init field, the house can still be destroyed (i think).

I have no idea on how to make a house indestructable, sorry

In that line you're assigning the eventhandler to the gamelogic, rather than the house (the this refers to the gamelogic, as it's in the gamelogic's init field).

Try this instead:

house = "dum09" createvehicle getpos this; house setdir getdir this; house addeventhandler ["hit",{_this select 0 setdammage 0}]

hmmm, I spoke too soon, this is what I've found after using the script:

first house:

w/out "invinsable script"

destroyed after 20 shots of 30 mm cannon fire

second house:

w/ "invinsable script"

destroyed after the same ammount but ai I had targeting it went and shot same building for another 20 rounds equaling a total of 40 rounds into house...

any ideas?

bump-ity bump!

The "hit" eventhandler only goes off if a unit/building is hit for 5% or more of its max life. So maybe the 30mm gun does just under that amount of damage (100% / 20 = 5%), or maybe the eventhandler really takes like 6% damage to go off. Try laying satchel charges next to the building with the invincibility on it, and see if you can destroy it.

the technique I use is this:
#start
"_x setdammage 0" foreach [hh2,hh3, .............]
~2
goto "start"

where hh is the house name.  Name each house hh2,hh3 etc

then name the above script, I call mine "build.sqs"

then exec the script from the init.sqs

as long as the house isn't destroyed withing every 2 seconds or so, it will never be destroyed
