Getting shot at

[Mr. S.A.S]

How can I make it look like bullets are hitting an area? You know, the little cloudlets that appear where you fire your gun. I am trying to make a guy run past a wall, and have it look like the wall is being sprayed with bullets as he runs past. I cannot make a unit shoot at him, because he'll probably die, :beat:  which I don't want. I want complete control of where the bullets appear to hit, if possible.  
     Also, how do I make a person get hit in a particular area at a particular time? Could it be done using the createvehicle command for both of them to create a bullet wherever I want?  :hmm: I don't know shit about createvehicle so please explain it.
Thanx :cheers:

Add an eventHandler to the running unit for that time he passes the wall.

In this case another unit can fire on him, without causing him to die...

You can camcreate a bullet and setvelocity it. Try playing around with setdammage for the other problem.

[Mr. S.A.S]

Thanks guys, that helped. How exactly do I camcreate and setvelocity?

[icarus_uk]

"ObjectName" Camcreate [X, Y, Z] ; Where X, Y and Z are the grid referance you want the object to be created.

and

ObjectName SetVelocity [X, Y, Z] ; Where X, Y and Z is the velocity in its three dimensional components.

[Mr. S.A.S]

thanx icarus.
Do I replace objectname with bullet in the camcreate syntax? does this also work with grenades?

[Artak]

Works with anykind of object you can imagine. I don't know the string name for a bullet though.
