Explosion

[Lazy Lays]

how do I make a singel explosion on a object and then 5 sec later another explosion on another object, and so on...... ?
you know like an Artrillery and not a bombardment, but just like a singel battery fire

I didt a seach in the Editors depot but didnt find what I am looking for

If you only want the sound then you could use a loop, something like this:

#Loop
PlaySound "Explosion"
~5
goto "Loop"

(don't forget to define the sound in the description.ext)

I want the whole explosion



but the sound will do great in another mission... thanks

If you don't want a random barrage, I'd suggest Triggerhappy's Multiple Explsion script. The instructions come with it.

[RujiK]

just do this:
#loop
_BIGbomb = "LASERGUIDEDBOMB" camcreate getpos kablooiepos
~4
_Medeocrebomb = "SHELL125" camcreate getpos Kabampos
goto"loop"

Very easy, just put this in a .sqs file, this will not work in a trigger.

I need to understand this:

_BIGbomb = "LASERGUIDEDBOMB" camcreate getpos kablooiepos

_Bigbomb = ?
"Laserguidedbomb" = type of explosion right ?
camcreate getpos kablooiepos = is the position of the explosion right ?

But what is the bigbomb ?

Next quistion:
now how do I make the positon of the explosion random ?

[Flauta]

several ways... there isa lotta of scripts wich use random explotions in a radios uf a tigger you set... but i made a "easy old shool" one, that u set the targets from Invisble H's... and then u "program" the bombing action...

seems like these

Code: [Select]

[] exec "0.sqs"
~4
[] exec "21.sqs"
~2
[] exec "12.sqs"
~1
[] exec "17.sqs"
~4
[] exec "16.sqs"
~2
[] exec "2.sqs"
~5
[] exec "8.sqs"
~1
[] exec "11.sqs"
~3
[] exec "10.sqs"
~2
[] exec "0.sqs"
~1
[] exec "24.sqs"
~4
[] exec "13.sqs"
~1
[] exec "0.sqs"
exit


but longer.. :p and in every "<number>.sqs" add this

Code: [Select]

;explotion 0
;target is target_0

explo0 = "shell125" CreateVehicle [(getpos target_0 select 0),(getpos target_0 select 1)]
exit


ni idea why adding the "explo0" but i add it anyway...

note that you have to put in the mission editor mani "invisible heliports" ass many diferent location of explotions u want... an name them like "target_0" "target_1" etc,

Tip: make an invisible H and name it "target" then copy, paste!

well im adding it if you want to test it...

U need 26 targets, from "target_0" to "target_25

[bedges]

em aye, that's one way of doing it....

another way would be like this -

create a marker called "target"
set up a variable called end_explosions and make it false

cut n paste the following:

Code: [Select]

;random explosions

#again

_x = getmarkerpos "target" select 0
_y = getmarkerpos "target" select 1
_h = random 6
_rad = random 4

_ang = random 360

"shell120" camcreate [_x+(_rad*sin(_ang)),_y+(_rad*cos(_ang)),_safemargin+_h]

_r = random 1
~_r

?not (end_explosions):goto "again"

exit
save and call it "explosions.sqs"

then call the script by using [] exec "explosions.sqs". when you've had enough of the fireworks, set end_explosions to true.

a little less work, and a little more random.

EDIT - oop, wrong code - making dinner at the same time y'see

Thanks guys !..

[Flauta]

_BIGbomb = "LASERGUIDEDBOMB" camcreate getpos kablooiepos

and this is:

_BIGbomb = tag name (can be whatever, no really know why addin thiese..)
"LASERGUIDEDBOMB" class of the explotion, can be "shell125"too or "bmp", but this adds a tank an not a explotion
camcreate the command for creating veihlces.. usage :

type camCreate position
Operand types:
    type: String
    position: Array
Type of returned value:
    Object
Description:
    Create camera or actor of given type on given initial position (format Position). Type is one of "CAMERA", "SEAGULL".

Example:
    _camera = camCreate getPos player

and getpos kablooiepos is the posittion of the Objet named "kablooiepos"

cheers

Um i soppose what bedges said would work however it sounds more like he was just trying to confuzely the new guy with his incredably mathmaticly scripting...
I would suggest this:

Code: [Select]

_pos = getpos player
_boomcount = 0
;(or whatever the target)
#loop
?(_boomcount >= 10):hint"Outa bombs! DANG!";exit
_x = _pos + random 200
_y = _pos + random 200
_x2 = _x - 100
_y2 = _y - 100
_Bomb = "LASERGUIDEDBOMB" camcreate [_x2,_y2,0]
_boomcount = _boomcount + 1
~(random 10)
goto"loop";this will have a target area of random 100 meters, if you want the script to continually follow you place the _pos = getpos player right below the loop.
Also the _Boomcount is the number of bombs that have came down, if you want a higher number change the condition to something higher

Thanks guys !

So you solved the problem, but I still have a problem with this topic.
You used "CreateVehicle" command to create a bomb and it then fall to ground and explode.

But in this way I cannot create a mid-air explotion when it doesn't hit a vehicle. I wanna to make a air defence mission and use some kind of mid-air explotion, then what can I do???

[bedges]

make two of the bombs at the same time in midair. they collide with each other, then POP goes the weasel
