getting current damage

[Surdus Priest]

would this work to get the current damage of a unit into a variable?

_blah = damage player

EDIT: oh, and i also need to know how to modify the health of a unit inside a vehicle, rather than modify the vehicles health.

Yes, writing _variableName = damage Player will mean that _Variablename (which is a local variable) will consist of a number between 0 and 1 (the possible return values of the command damage).

As to modifying the health of passengers as opposed to the vehicle: try something like.

driver Vehicle setdamage X
gunner vehicle setdamage X
(crew vehicle select 3) setdamage X

Otherwise, you might try assignedVehicleRole to figure out the role the unit you want to modify has at that time, and then work with it. Sadly, it returns an array with a string in it, so it's not actually useful without some prior modification. But yes. Work with those!

Wolfrug out.
