The explosions with the smallest damage

[SharkDog]

Hi all, what is the explosion with the samllest damage?

Is it shell73?

thanks,

I use 'RPG' or 'RPG2' or something like that. Been a while.

Well since it is for an flak script of the planes in the air with a script, but sometimes the plane explodes of the explosions, so i need explosions that actuall never do damage.

[SharkDog]

hmm nobody knows

I've done something similar to this in the past...

Instead of having an explosion that did no damage, I just checked the placement of the explosion (before I actually set it off ). If the position was too close to the aircraft, I re-chose the position.

Try posting the script you're using and we'll see if we can modify it to suit...

Hey

hmm......I could use this script and put it on the vehical getting blowen up:

#loop
driverguy setdammage 0
~0.5
? cusceneover == 1 : exit
goto "loop"

Dunno if it workds though

Wait a second i'll post the script.
As you can see the command line is this: [150,10,blackhawk,log1,"shell73"] exec "flak.sqs"
so thats why i was wondering if there were explosions with less damagage then the shell73
or maby you know how to alter the script so the explosions don't hit the plane.

;you can change the condition below the end
? alive _target : goto "loop"

Hmm... I'm not too sure if this will work with a game logic, but try inserting this line here:

...
_where = getpos _target
_logic setpos [(_where select 0) - random _area + random _area, (_where select 1) - random _area + random _area, (_where select 2) + random _height +10]
? (_target distance _logic < 20): goto "loop"

_bomb = _ord camcreate getpos _logic
...

And see if that works...
If not, we'll find a work around

[SharkDog]

LOL OMG, Sui you just made the best artillery script ever!:D
Ok so anyways now the explosions fall on the ground, like artillery but they need to be in the air around the airplane.
And I really mean that about that artillery but maby i changed it wrong.

here is the script.

_logic = _this select 3
_ord = _this select 4



#loop
_where = getpos _target
_logic setpos [(_where select 0) - random _area + random _area, (_where select 1) - random _area + random _area, (_where select 2) + random _height +10]
? (_target distance _logic < 20): goto "loop"

_bomb = _ord camcreate getpos _logic

~random 2.5

;you can change the condition below the end
? alive _target : goto "loop"

[Sui]

Just put the second:

_bomb = _ord camcreate getpos _logic

line back in...

There need to be two of them created, so they hit each other and explode.
Otherwise (as you've seen) they will fall to the ground instead

OMG it works perfectly now thanks sui.

cheers!
