easier gameplay

Is it possible to make yourself have more health?
Like this
This addeventhandler ["hit", "this setdammage 0"]
Or would it just goto the "dead" screen.

well, for the player set dammage only works for hurting him, not healing him I think.

[Fragorl]

eh? No, I think setdammage works both ways...

[macguba]

Yes you can do that but its not enough.   You need a setDammage 0 loop as well.    Sometimes the hits come too fast for the EH to cope.    

EH killed is no good:  it revives you after the death cutscene starts.

This is very handy for testing missions.   I also sometimes make myself setCaptive true.    You can make your squad invincible but don't use setCaptive on them, otherwise the enemy loons don't react properly.

I remember testing this some time ago:

http://www.ofpec.com/yabbse/index.php?board=6;action=display;threadid=21523;start=0

Code: [Select]

this addEventHandler [{Hit}, {_this select 0 setDammage 0}];this addEventHandler [{Dammaged}, {_this select 0 setDammage 0}]
And I couldn't get myself killed in any way when I had that on my unit's initialization field. So you don't need a setdammage loop if you want to make your unit stay alive.



But maybe this is not a good idea to put into a mission, only for testing purposes. Or if the unit really, really needs it for some very unrealistic reason, then it's OK.

ya I realized that might be wrong after I typed it. so i added I think.

Maby if you made a script that detected a bullet about to hit the player and made a random chance of deleting it, or sending it off somewhere else. or moveing the player very fast out of the way then back to the same spot.

They work fine for getting shot, most of the time. But if you get shot in head (sometimes), or grenaded, you die.

DBR_ONIX, did you try the method I posted? I haven't found a way to kill a unit with that in it's initialization field (well closing OFP will do it but while playing).
