A little scripting help with an eventhandler Options

[Eddie]

Im trying to add a little flame to my mirage's engines. I have the hidden selection working propperly.

What i am trying to get right now is the engine eventhandler.

im trying to use:

engine = [_this select 0] setobjecttexture [4,"PRACS_Mirage3\tex\flame.paa"]


the effect this is supposed to have is while the engine is on the flame appears then when the engine turs off it disapears.

can anyone tell me what im doing wrong? i suck at scripting. or does anyone have a better idea to achieve this.

Could you tell us what isn't working about it? I don't see why you'd need the "engine =" bit at the start though... oh... right... sorry... I haven't finished my coffee yet

I take it your config looks something like this:

CODE

        class eventhandlers
        {
        engine = [_this select 0] setobjecttexture [4,"PRACS_Mirage3\tex\flame.paa"]
        };

Try turning the code to get the engine working into a script, so it'll look something like this:

CODE

        class eventhandlers
        {
        init = "_this exec ""\PRACS_Mirage3\flame.sqs"""
        };

Then have this as your sqs:

CODE

_plane = _this select 0
[_plane,true] addEventHandler ["Engine", [_this select 0] setobjecttexture [4,"PRACS_Mirage3\tex\flame.paa"]
[_plane,false] addEventHandler ["Engine", [_this select 0] setobjecttexture [4,"PRACS_Mirage3\tex\Noflame.paa"]

I think that's the right syntax for that event handler, but I don't really have time to test it right now
