constructible_health

(Drakir) #1

Im having a small problem setting the health of a constructible.

From the LDR:

example_tank
{
    spawn {
        constructible_class 1
        constructible_health 1200
    }
}

My code:

defence_sentry
{
	spawn
	{
		wait 400

		constructible_class 1
		constructible_health 1200

		trigger defence_sentry setup
	}
etc...

Everything works fine except the fact that its still destructable by only 1 grenade!

Not that I know much about scripting, but just looking at the fueldump script, they set the constructible_class to 2 for the allied and axis radios. I know there are differernt classes and I think it has to do with how they can be destroyed (eg 1 = nade, 2=satchel or 3=dyno)

I only mention this since in fueldump the allies health and ammo get knocked out by a satchel or dyno against the command post.

This is also the script for the tank in fueldump and it dosn’t set the health of class:


tank
{
	spawn
	{
		wait 50
		faceangles 0 180 0 50
		trigger self sound_idle

		accum 1 bitset 5
		trigger self tracks_stop

		// Reset the tank+turret into correct position
		followspline 0 spln0 10000 wait length -64
		followspline 1 spln0 10000 wait length -64

		// Instant test teleporter
		// accum 3 set 90
	}
...

Actually, looking at the code a bit mode (ah what a bitch it is to code in the movement of a vehicle), I did find this which is much as what I did above:


tank_construct
{
	spawn
	{
		wait 400

		constructible_class 2
		constructible_health 1200
	}
...

Try this and see what happens (ie use defence_sentry_construct to set the class and health)

For a tank, I believe the game uses the health key of the clip brush script mover and not the constructible_health value. I tried what Drakir is trying for something I wanted in Venice (gun canopy), but by definition, it seems anything set to constructible_class 1 can be destroyed by a single grenade. I found no solution to this and ended up dropping the idea.

Same with panzer. Lame really.

Found the solution, but it seems like a dumb way to go about it…must be a feature they missed to implement!

The solution is to make a script_mover to act like the destructable item that can be destroyed by multiple grens.
But u still need the func_constructible to make a constructible item…so this means i have to set the func_constr to at least constructible_class 2 in the script so that it cannot be destroyed by 1 gren or move it out of place so that its not damaged by misstake.

Then i set the script_mover to be only hurtable by explosive weapons, resurectable and set the health to an amount that suites me and when the script_mover is destoyed it calles its “death” part and in there i call upon a trigger in the func_constr. that sets it do its destroyed state so that it can be built again.

Seems like alot of work, but its doable this way…

This should be added to the Topic of “Documentation / Editor Errors” as its not working as it should!

Nice work Drakir, shame you had to do such a workaround :frowning:

I encountered the same prob with constructible_class 1 and k: health v: 0… damage done by 1 lousy nade :angry:

As I want a constructible to be undestroyable once it is built, is this the only way to acchieve the effect (by setting the for the brush of the constructible k: health v: 0 and in the script constructible_class 2)?
I didn’t find any other solutions to this, only this post…

Do I understand you right that I have to make the brushes that are the fun_constructible also a script_mover (i thought u can’t make a brush 2 entities?)…

The only script_mover i use up to now for the constructible is set on the clip of the cmarker :???:
