Vehicle boost

[UKrealplayER666]

Hey guys

I was just wondering if any one knew how i could add a boost to the vehicles in ArmA 2 by using a simple init line?

Also i was wondering if any one knew how i could make the vehicles so they dont change speed when you go over different terrain again using a simple init line if possible.

Thanks in advance

I don't think this is possible.
You will need to change the vehicle config for this (or at least script something?)

2]
I don't know anything about this but I think this is something in the game and not in the
config of the vehicle itself.

Try this below placed into a radio trigger

tank setVelocity [sin (getdir tank) * 200, cos (getDir tank) * 200, 0];

Rather then a boost i went for sustained speed, i found this script in a mission on armaholic, the only issue with it is that it disables the breaks, not good when trying to drive.

#define SPEEDX 0.1

while {true} do {
	sleep 0.001;
	if(vehicle player != player) then {
		_veh = vehicle player;

		if (speed _veh > 20) then {
			_vel = velocity _veh;
			_dir = getdir _veh;
			_veh setvelocity [
				(((_vel select 0) + SPEEDX * (sin _dir)) min 200) max -200,
				(((_vel select 1) + SPEEDX * (cos _dir)) min 200) max -200,
				(_vel select 2) - SPEEDX
			];
		};
	};
};

anyone got any ideas how i can re-enable the breaks?

Another question, how can i disable a script using a trigger?

You could check to see if the brake key is being pressed and if so change a variable that shuts down the velocity part.
Brake key for me is "S"

save as init.sqf

disableSerialization;
sleep 1;
brake = 0;
_display = (findDisplay 46);
_display displayAddEventHandler ["KeyDown","if ((_this select 1) == 31) then {brake = 1} else {brake = 0}"];

modified code to check for the brake variable.

#define SPEEDX 0.1
quit_this = true;
while {quit_this} do {
	sleep 0.001;
	if (vehicle player != player) then {
		_veh = vehicle player;

		if (speed _veh > 20 and brake == 0  ) then {
		
			_vel = velocity _veh;
			_dir = getdir _veh;
			_veh setvelocity [
				(((_vel select 0) + SPEEDX * (sin _dir)) min 200) max -200,
				(((_vel select 1) + SPEEDX * (cos _dir)) min 200) max -200,
				(_vel select 2) - SPEEDX
			];
		};
			
	};
};

also included is a variable named quit_this, if you now place this in a trigger and set it to false it should end the script

quit_this=false
