getdammage to run a script

[Terox]

Each chopper in my mission runs the following script


What i have been trying to do, is add lines to the script, checking the damage of the choppers, and if it is a certain amount, have the script then activate the "tail-rotor fail script by Vektorboson"
Notice the lines in various colours, these are what i have been trying to get to work

Initially i want to have the rotor failure script activated if the chopper that runs the following script has dammage of between 0.2 and 0.4



Any help would be greatly appreciated

;Nam Chopper respawn limited weaponry

 ?!(local Server): exit  
 _vcl = _this select 0

  #rotorfail
 Hint "Tail rotor dead"
exec "tailrotor.sqs"
;; _vcl exec "tailrotor.sqs" (tried this too)
if (Player in thisList) then { vehicleRadio [format["Mayday!\n Mayday\n"We lost the tail rotor\nWe are going down",name (thisList select 0)],"Plain down"]    something wrong with this too
 goto "end"

and i cant get it to work

I have tried allsorts of lines, but i am afraid my scripting skills aint that good

Hey Terox

With your first coloured line there... is the variable supposed to be _veh? Or _vcl?

God know's it's the little things that trip us all up most often... ;D

[Terox]

arent i the plonker, god knows how many hours ive spent on this

Thx, eventually got the hint message to show, which then highlighted more problems when the script actually run,  thats now sorted


Still have one problem, which is getting an "In vehicle message to show to the pilot and passengers

Think it warrants a new post as it isnt anything to do with the title of this post  thx again
