destroying buildings through ID

[Dagon]

hey, for my intro mission to the campaign i'm making, I want all of montignac to be destroyed. I've got the ID numbers of the buildings, but doing (IDno) setdammage 1 just gives me an invalid syntax error.

What's the command to destroy IDs?

[shinraiden]

You don't.

Just camcreate some bombs on the spot. One easy way would be to make a bunch of named markers, and then for the camcreate pos getpos the specific markers.

[Dagon]

do you know where I can get an example of how to do that, then?

[shinraiden]

_flare1="flare" camcreate[getpos dude select 0, getpos dude select 1,50]

_Bomb="heat125" camcreate(getpos plane);

valid flares are:

flare                             flarered                          flaregreen

some valid bombs:

heat73                         heat105                          heat125
shell125                       shell120                          "RPG"
"LAW"
"Ch29T"                           "Zuni"                                 "Maverick"
"LaserGuidedBomb"


Check the BIS comref. This is something that the ECP console is invaluable for too.

For wrp-placed objects? I was under the impresion you couldn't do that... but it wouldn't be the first time I've been a bit off my rocker.

General Barron is correct.

Although LGBs are probably more fun.   ;D

You can destroy them (setDamage) but not move (setPos) or remove (deleteVehicle) them...
