Stinger spike trap - advanced help pls
« on: 31 Jan 2004, 15:54:53 »
Ok i'll explain what a stinger spike is first before i explain the problem, its a rail of spikes a cop would throw out into the road at the end of a pursuit, these pop the cars tires...

 :-\ alright the problem

i want to bust the tires when they drive over this spike trap, i'll be using a trigger over it, when a car, and only a car passes through this trigger it will probaly setdammage ## im not sure if you can do it this way by busting the tires without setting the damage so high, infact i think another method mite be better!

i cud use a heat shell under the car, but i really didnt want this to happen cause i want this realistic

and also another problem, i don't want to define a name to the vehicle (because im using a buy menu and i'd be lost how to name each vehicle that is bought), i want to try and do this so any vehicle goes through the tigger, the tires bust and the man isnt hurt either!

ok i hope this makes sense i dont speak very good english...... please someone give me pointers to how to get past this problem, i can understand complicated answers so you dont have to spend much time replying to this message! thankyou!

ok, heres an idea.....but i you'll have to be a resistance guy.
Camcreate bullets when the trigger is activated, then setvelocity them upwards, thus going through the tyres. Instead of getpos'ing the car (in which case youd have to name it :'( ), getpos the trigger. It might sound complicated but if your quite good at scripting you might get the idea. If you dont then ask  :D
We have a problem at 'Oscar-Charlie 2-7' do you read me? Well its that guy with the RPG!

You are only supposed to post your problem once.

This is not a good way to please the moderators.
