Flipping vehicles.

[RimBlock]

I am currently taking a look at a way to flip vehicles due to a concussion wave from a particular effect (think explosion).

 

The movement is being attempted by using the setvelocity on the chosen vehicle but something quite strange is appearing to happen.  When the setvelocity is applied, the vehicle is moved but then rubber bands back to the original position.  Subsequent attempts just make the vehicle judder and then spring back.

 

Having a skim through the code, the Epoch Antihack has some code to prevent vehicle teleport based on vehicle speed > max speed of vehicle over a measured distance (the Epoch speed camera).    The strange thing is that even after not loading it (// out in the init.sqf) the same problem still occurs.

 

This is on vanilla Epoch with not extra / custom antihacks and no mods that handle vehicles.

 

My only thought now is that it is to do with vehicle ownership and the effect needing to be applied to the owning machine and then it will propagate over the network.

 

Any pointers ?.

setvelocity does require the object to be local to the person calling it.

Cheers VBAwol,

 

Thanks for the confirmation.  I will just put in a PV so it gets applied to the correct client then.
