Church Ring

[Jim666]

Is there a way to stop churches ringing? Ive got a map where the time goes faster then usual, but the churches bell keeps ringing no matter what the time is.

only thing that comes to mind is

Code: [Select]

at times when you think they might chime. but then, perhaps in-game sounds aren't covered by that command...

I have a horrible feeling it's random anyway.    Maybe setdammage 1 the bell tower.

The churches use simulation = "church";

Which makes me think that the game engine then handles the ringing of the bell at the correct times for churches, hourly or whatever it is.

I have used a setDammage 1 on the church in La Trinitre in my mission but the clock still keeps chiming.  I have not checked but I think Planck is right (again).  The clocks seem to chime at the correct time - the clock hands certainly show the correct time so going into that detail and then not having the chimes at the correct times would seem odd.

I was thinking also of the bells you get by the side of the road.

if it's just the eyecandy you're looking for without the chimes could make a small addon thusly

class CfgVehicles
{
 class All {};
 class AllVehicles: All {};
 class Land: AllVehicles {};
 class Static : Land {};
 class Building : Static {};
 class NonStrategic : Building {};
 class MyChurch: NonStrategic
 {
  scope=public;
  model="kostel2";// or 3
  vehicleClass="My Great Church";
  displayName="What A Wonder";
 };
};

nb: the roadside bells, afaik, are only available via editor102 and are in fact identical to a 'church' except for the model

their noise does appear random, and, if a true church is not, ie it is triggered by the clock time, then it is the model that is controlling it.
