Detecting if RPG missed a chopper... [SOLVED]

[Krieg]

What I am trying to do is detect if RPG fired by player did or did not hit a chopper.

Basically I am having a mission where player as member of Resistance must grab an RPG and use it to destroy a V80, so if he misses, mission ends with a failure.

Any ideas on how to do this?

Thanks,
Krieg

If the player only has access to a limited number of RPG rounds, you could run a check with a looping script to detect when he has no more ammo left, followed by a check to see if the chopper is still alive (if you are actually checking to see if it is dead and not just hit). Something like

Code: [Select]

#check

~1

?(Playername ammo "RPG" == 0): goto "start"

goto "check"

#start

~5

? (alive chopper1) then {choppermissed = true}

?!(alive chopper1) then  {chopperhit= true}

exit

Thanks, Clayborne! I'll test it right away!

Rather than the alive command, you may want to consider using the getdammage command for the check in the case that the player just clips the chopper.

Code: [Select]

? (getdammage chopper1 < .1) :
? (getdammage chopper1 > .1) : Of course, the dammage level can be adjusted to what you require.

There is also no need to name the player as it already has it's own built in variable called "player"
