WAI - search a good vehicle "run over" solution

[joe_candy]

Hey.. I've a few problems with players who use bugs with vehicles to get loot from the AI. So i like to add a trigger at the WAI marker, which destroy player vehicle if they drive into the mission area.

But there is a mistake at my idea, so the missions spawns without the trigger...

But there is also no Error at the rpt file.

Hope someone could help me.

 

There is one of the Mission files with my addet trigger...

For one, you are over-complicating this by using triggers when you already have a while do loop in the mission script you can modify.

Two, WAI doesn't check if all the units are dead, it only checks for player distance. This means a player would have to run up to the mission on foot to trigger it complete, and then drive up.

Three, you only have the mission triggers being deleted when the mission times out, not when its completed, so with the current code even after a player completes a mission, they would still blow up, and the triggers would still be there until the server restarts.

And finally four, WAI already has anti-vehicle. It's called RPGs and two M2 .50BMG turrets.

 

Most people consider anything that kills the player to be pretty extreme as far as punishment goes, especially for something that doesn't make logical sense since there is already anti-vehicle measures they would have to deal with, so I don't think very many people will be willing to help you with this. Even if your server has tanks, two RPGs to the same side will disable the tracks and prevent the tank from going anywhere, and a disabled tank to me is not worth a breifcase or two.

Hey...

 

The anti-vehicle of WAI last time doesn't work.... I've addet also MAAWS and M107 to the AI... First week it works fine.... after a time some guys begin to run over the AI and could loot the high weapons (i use custom loottable, so they can't find this weapons somewhere else).

 

I'm also no friend of such a extreme Player kill Trigger. I'm just looking for a solution for the probem.

First time i try a Trigger with "vehicle setdamage 1" but this also doesn't work.

 

Today i try to import the "DZMS run over" configuration to WAI... but until now it isn't work.....

 

*Edit*

 

ok... find my mistake. Now the "run over" Configuration works fine and i don't need so a extreme trigger... ^^

This Thread could be deletet.
