M113 Help

[Defent]

Hey, I've been trying to get a fix working for a slight annoyance that has been going on on my servers.

People have been able to survive when the M113 gets blown up and camps the wreck or logs out. 

To combat this, I have decided to kill those who manage to survive the crash but the script doesn't really work. 

 

Anyone got any ideas?

// work around for m113 bug

_vehicle = ["M113Ambul_TK_EP1"];
_hasCrew = player in (crew _vehicle);

waitUntill {not alive _vehicle};
	if (_vehicle and _hasCrew) then {
	sleep 1;
		player setDamage 1;
	};

_vehicle = ["M113Ambul_TK_EP1"];
_hasCrew = player in (crew _vehicle);
_vehicleDamage = damage _vehicle;
waitUntill {_vehicleDamage = 1};
    if (_vehicle and _hasCrew) then {
    sleep 1;
        player setDamage 1;
    };

_vehicleDamage = damage _vehicle;

waitUntill {_vehicleDamage = 1};

    if (_vehicle and _hasCrew) then {

    sleep 1;

        player setDamage 1;

    };

 

 

That was more simple than I thought. Thank you. I also believe that !alive may have been better than "not alive". 

 

Edit: Wouldn't !alive be better than checking for damage = 1? Or whats the difference?

don't know if its for vehicles

Says it does here. I just figured it would make more sense. I'll go ahead and test both options. Thanks.

Wouldn't a while loop tank server performance though? A sleep could work but that would make it very unreliable when it comes to launching the script imo.

 

I'll test your version as well xBowBii. Thanks.

// work around for m113 bug
_vehicle = ["M113Ambul_TK_EP1"];
_playerVeh = (vehicle player) in _vehicle;
_hasCrew = player in (crew _vehicle);
_vehicleDamage = damage _vehicle;
waitUntil {_vehicleDamage == 1}; //It is important to put two '=' AND it is WaitUntil not WaitUntill
    if (_playerVeh && _hasCrew) then {
        sleep 1;
        player setDamage 1;
    };

By the way;

once ONE M113 is going to get exploded, the script will stop because of the WaitUntil.

I'd put a While loop in.

 

Maybe some typo's, check again if using the code above.

 

forgot im scripting in a few languages and there are diffrences

// work around for m113 bug
_vehicle = ["M113Ambul_TK_EP1"];
_playerVeh = (vehicle player) in _vehicle;
_hasCrew = player in (crew _vehicle);
_vehicleDamage = damage _vehicle;
waitUntil {_vehicleDamage == 1}; //It is important to put two '=' AND it is WaitUntil not WaitUntill
    if (_playerVeh && _hasCrew) then {
        sleep 1;
        player setDamage 1;
    };

 

Just a quick question. Why check for players twice? If I were to do that, why not make it an OR statement instead:

    if (_playerVeh or _hasCrew) then {
        sleep 1;
        player setDamage 1;
    };

I can't see much difference between these two:

_playerVeh = (vehicle player) in _vehicle;
_hasCrew = player in (crew _vehicle);

Wouldn't it just be easier with the !alive statement then? 

// workaround for m113 bug

_vehicle = ["M113Ambul_TK_EP1"];
_playerVeh = (vehicle player) in _vehicle;
_hasCrew = player in (crew _vehicle);
while {!alive _vehicle}; 
	uiSleep 25; 
	// probably exists some fancier way to do OR
    if (_playerVeh or _hasCrew) then { 
        player setDamage 1;
    };

Also, this is "bug" is apparently common across many other vehicles, where it gets blown up and you stay alive inside. I'm not too sure I want that on my servers. We'll see.

 

 

Edit:

_hasCrew = player in (crew _vehicle);

Doesn't work:

 

Error crew: Type Array, expected Object

 

I don't think I can convert an array in to an object so I'll use the other way that was mentioned.

Yea, that could be easier. I have changed it to a while loop and have been checking around. I have decided to eject the player once the vehicle is dead or destroyed. Thanks for the inputs!
