How Can Satchel "Touch Off" be Detected?

[Don_T_Shoot]

My apologies if this has been covered but I havent' found anything searching here and elsewhere on this situation.


I want to trigger a script  when a satchel is detonated in a certain trigger area.

Using the eventhandler "Fired" I got the following return when I put a satchel:

weapon: put
muzzle: put
mode: pipebomb
type: pipebomb

But nothing is returned from the EH when I touch off the satchel, so I dont' think I can use the "Fired" EH to detect the use of a satchel and start script.


Any ideas on ways of detecting an action of a satchel touch off?

OK after some experimentation, I realized I was thinking about it wrong.  Touching off the satchel doesn't matter.

What I 'm trying to do is to trigger a script that blows up a fuel station/ ammo dump  in a chainreaction of scripted explosions set into motion with a  players satchel.

So,  the idea is to detect when a satchel is put near the ammo/fuel cache, repair the objects just in case and then wait for them to be destroyed to set off chainreaction (cachetrigger = true) then make sure it can't be repeated (bravointact = false)

_mode=_this select 3

?_mode=="PipeBomb":goto "damagecheck"
goto "exit"

#damagecheck
_crates = [fuel,ftruck,a0,a1,a2,a3,a4,a5,b24,b25,b26,b27,b28,b29,ammocrate1]
"_X setdammage 0" foreach _crates
@"!alive _x" count _crates >= 1
cachetrigger = true
bravointact = false
goto "exit"

#exit
exit

cool, just what I need!

I did the same with a different script but your methode is a lot easier, thx
