Hi guys - this is ridiculous I know n00bness
« on: 24 Nov 2007, 15:23:08 »
Hello after many years off ofp I finally got round to getting Arma, I used to mess about with missions and also help others on here years ago when i knew what i was doing  :P

So simple question, refresh my memory if you can. What code would I put in the init for an explosion to occur in a trigger?

I remember ofp used to be something like grenade = "shell105" camcreate [getpos this select 0, getpos this select 1]

Arma isnt recognising the same sort of thing. using "Sh_105_HE" from the weapons list doesnt work etc,.

Please help as I really cannot remember anything these days  :cool2:

Hey there! Welcome back to the wonderful world of ArmA editing!  :D

Two things:

1) Use CreateVehicle instead.

Bomb123 = "SH_105_HE" createVehicle getpos [dude select 0, dude select 1]

Should work.  :)

Wolfrug out.

ummm, yes, but it does have "Sh_105_HE", used by the M119 Static gun.   :P

Even I have no idea what I was talking about earlier. For some reason I was convinced that Wolfrug had used the "SH_106_HE" when it should have been the "SH_105_HE". I should stop trying to read, it just gets me confused :whistle:
