Preventing the player being killed inside the vehicle

[fo0k]

Im talking about that issue where 2 cars collide.. neither car take much damage but due to poor collision mesh and the engine in general, the players inside the cars suffer the impact and die... How do I stop this. Its obviously a big issue within the race style maps

[Ruuga]

Try this:

Code: Select all

ObjectTemplate.criticalDamage 30
ObjectTemplate.hpLostWhileCriticalDamage 0.01

(so put that code in to your vehicles objects.con
Remember to remove the old code pieces what are the same that those in the code-box.

Im not sure if it works but, try out if you want.

EDIT: Oh! I didn't read your post very carefully, so very unlikely my will code work.

hehe thanks.. but yes.. we are talking different things

Could you try that invincible soldier thing? Let me check the back up to show you want I mean....

EDIT: I think it's this.

You can mod the damage system. in the "no_armor" folder in the collision folder in the game rfa, the collision damage solders get from impacts from vehicles are defined. However this would effect damage from vehicles in all situations and not just in the vehicle. Only other thing you could do is disable the isOutSide property of the seat. but then you couldn't use bullets to kill them.

i was thinking of that seat code to but i wonder isn´t there any radius settings or something one could nudge on?

shouldn´t a dirty quick fix be like "speedMod 0" by the way? depending on the rest of the mod ofcourse.

[fo0k]

well in this instance you would not be able to use a gun against the player as they are in an armoured car.. so that should work. what is 'isoutside' normally used for then?

edit: this one maybe? "c_SeatForceSittingSoldier"

Any idea what this seatforcesitting soldier actually means? sounds like showfullbodysoldier but must be different.

c_SeatShowHeadOfSoldier - means that just the head of the soldier should be visible. (not used in game)

If memory serves me right, the BF42 team used this for the tanks, like the Medium Armor Sherman, Panzer IV, as well as the arty vehicles like the Priest and Wespe. That's why thee are little "lids" on where the driver would be, but they opted out of that shortly before the Wake demo came out. It's in some early promotional pictures. I simply don't have them but i think gamespot or some gaming promo place might still ahve them. Like back when Guadalcanal had a huge drydock on the southeast side of the building for the Japanese naval forces.

c_SeatForceSittingSoldier"

Where did you find that piece of code? Is it in the game.rfa?
