setdammage command question

[OFPfreak]

Just like in the setvelocity question of mine, is it possible to add damage instead of setting it?
e.g. in my nitro loop, if the car passes it's top speed I want it to damage 0.05 every time it goes over the top speed.

yep thats possible first of all you will need to find out the speed its going there might be a function the function libary for this then you can use

cardam = getdammage car

? speed > 200 : setdammage cardam + 0.05

that will add 0.05 dammage on the original cars health, that should do the trick but im still quite unshore about it

[OFPfreak]

Thanks a lot. I'm going to try it out and tell you if it works.

no wait i found a problem it should be

Code: [Select]

cardam = getdammage car
_howfast = speed car

? _howfast  > 200 : setdammage cardam + 0.05
that should work this time you need to change the name of car to waht you need same with the speed 200 then it should work

[OFPfreak]

ah ok. I noticed it didnt work so I'll try this !

[OFPfreak]

I dont really know if its working right now. Im creating a speed checker. Im too lazy to just lower the speed since a speed checker would also be useful.

sorry for triple post

No it does not seem to be working. It says something about cardam to be an unkown operator.

Code: [Select]

cardam = getdammage car
_howfast = speed car

? _howfast  > 200 : setdammage cardam + 0.05
this is what happens when posters don't know about what they're posting. the setdamage command is incorrectly used.

Code: [Select]

_cardam = getdamage car
_howfast = speed car

? _howfast  > 200 : car setdamage (_cardam + 0.05)
is the correct usage.

and yes, i am beginning to frown upon your multiple posts - modify your most recent post if it's the last in the thread to keep things tidy.

Yay it works! Thanks all!

@bedges
Strangely enough its not

Code: [Select]

_cardam = getdamage car
_howfast = speed car

? _howfast  > 200 : car setdamage (_cardam + 0.05)
but its

Code: [Select]

_cardam = getdammage car
_howfast = speed car

? _howfast  > 200 : car setdamage (_cardam + 0.05)
(notice the extra M in getdammage)
