Making an empty vehicle an enemy to east side

[Raptorsaurus]

How can I make an empty vehicle so that the enemy will regard it as a threat and fire upon it?  Is it even possible?

[macguba]

Hmmm.... create it as an enemy vehicle, name it lorry1 and in the init field write

deleteVehicle lorry1D

Dunno, worth a try ....

I don't think so the easy way.

But ofcourse you can work around it. I'd create a trigger around the vehicle [Present, Repeatedly], activated by [enemy side].

Condition: this and alive YourVehicleName

Activation: EnemiesHere = thislist; [YourVehicleName] exec "FireAtVehicle.sqs".

____
Then in FireAtVehicle.sqs you'd order them  DoTarget and DoFire at the position of the Vehicle. Something like this:

Code: [Select]

;little script to target at empty vehicle...not tested ;)
;syntax: [YourVehicleName] exec "FireAtVehicle.sqs", where YourVehicleName is the target.

_i =0
_Target = _this select 0

#loop
~0.01
?!(alive _target): exit
_dude = EnemiesHere select _i

;distance check, so they have to be within 25 meters before firing (change this as you like
_dis = _dude distance _target
?_dis > 25 goto "SkipTargetting"

_dude DoTarget _target
~0.5
_dude Dofire _target

#SkipTargetting
_I =_i +1
?_i > (count EnemiesHere): _i = 0
goto "loop"

Ponq, that sounds like the best plan.  I will give it a try, thanks.
