Plane anti-ramming / blocking system ?

Issue : Disrupting players are using vehicles (jeeps, tanks, apcs, etc) to block friendly planes taking off at runways

Objective : Prevent this in an autonomous way without admins.

Solution : Deathbubbles at runways that destroy blocking vehicles or the players inside ?

I've been experimenting with the deathbubble from the tutorial using a few different values :

Code: Select all

rem *** Kills blue guys ***
ObjectTemplate.Active hanomagVehicleSupplyDepot
ObjectTemplate.radius 50
ObjectTemplate.team 2
ObjectTemplate.setHealth -1 -2 0
ObjectTemplate.addVehicleType sherman -1 -4 0
ObjectTemplate.addVehicleType willy -1 -4 0
ObjectTemplate.addVehicleType m10 -1 -4 0
ObjectTemplate.workOnVehicles 1
ObjectTemplate.workOnSoldiers 0

It works ok with jeeps, they get destroyed, blow up, and disappear.

But tanks either keep burning forever - not disappearing, or blow up, leaving the wreck lying around forever.

Can anybody provide some values / code that makes tanks both blow up and their wrecks disappear ?

And is it possbile to make deathbubbles in other shapes than circles ? i.e. rectangles, etc ?

Its a old problem

you can try with this

Code: Select all

ObjectTemplate.addVehicleType sherman 2 -4 0

small tests indicate it may work so i would be glad if you report back if you try this

Just tried

2 -4 0

on my empty test server. (one player; me)

Seems to function in exactly the same way as :

-1 -4 0

Meaning that it don't work properly.

Jeeps are ok - they blow up as they should, but tanks and apcs still stand around burning forever.

I think the first number is the timing (if I can remember, actually I think it's the "mag size" of it and the timing is always 1 health change per second) and the second number is the amount of health. Amp that second number to about 10 for tanks and other heavy vehicles and about 7 for scout cars and halftracks. As for the destroyed vehicle objects being in the way, you can't get rid of those without changing the vehicle globally.

Here are the changes you should consider.

Code: Select all

ObjectTemplate.Active hanomagVehicleSupplyDepot
ObjectTemplate.radius 50
ObjectTemplate.team 2
rem ObjectTemplate.setHealth -1 -2 0
ObjectTemplate.addVehicleType sherman -1 -10 0
ObjectTemplate.addVehicleType willy -1 -7 0
ObjectTemplate.addVehicleType m3a1 -1 -7 0
ObjectTemplate.addVehicleType m10 -1 -10 0
ObjectTemplate.workOnVehicles 1
ObjectTemplate.workOnSoldiers 0

Just keep in mind that the Hanomag will also have a changed SupplyDepot and so the hanomag will become a rolling death bubble for those four US vehicles.

other solutions

1: kick the distruptive players

2: modify the planes

Code: Select all

ObjectTemplate.Active zero
ObjectTemplate.speedMod 0
objecttemplate.forwardmod 50

What does "forwardMod" do? I've never seen that line.

Been testing swaffys values a bit with only one player.

APCS work like jeeps now, blow up / wreck / disappear. Tanks still burn or lie around forever.

Sometimes jeeps and apcs also burn or becomes wrecks forever, but when i switch to axis and spawn, die and then switch back to allies, they are gone ... weird.

How do I change the values for these vehhicles globally, and what would the effect be ?

I think I need to test this code on a live populated server. This is x=x by the way and I run that 100 slot torturebox server. Gonna test it there soon.

Also tried that forwardmod code for planes, didnt notice any difference .... yeah ... what's it supposed to do ? create a sphere around them that destroys everything ?

Pigauchiu ... Leviating planes x meters off the ground isn't an option in my case .. sorry
