Vehicle repairing itself script, need help

[mr. Duck]

Right, so I tried making some sort of health regeneration script for vehicles.

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">; We are an armored vehicle
_vehicle = _this select 0

; check our health
_damage = getDammage _vehicle

; start damage control, start repair when damage is sufficient
#loopcheck
?&#40;0.4 &#60; _damage&#41; &#58; goto &#34;repair&#34;

goto &#34;loopcheck&#34;

; start repairing
#repair
?&#40;0 == _damage&#41; &#58; goto &#34;ending1&#34;

~1.5
_damage = _damage - 0.2
goto &#34;repair&#34;

#ending1
~0.5
_vehicle vehicleChat &#34;Hull repaired&#34;

And the relevant eventhandler for this:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">class EventHandlers &#58; ECP_EventHandlers
{
incomingMissile=&#34;_this call &#40;ECP_resources select 44&#41;; if&#40;&#40;_this select 0&#41;==&#40;_this select 0&#41;&#41; then {&#91;_this&#93; exec &#34;&#34;&#92;TerranTank&#92;scripts&#92;spoofmis sile.sqs&#34;&#34;}&#34;;
hit=&#34;if&#40;&#40;_this select 0&#41;==&#40;_this select 0&#41;&#41; then {&#91;_this&#93; exec &#34;&#34;&#92;TerranTank&#92;scripts&#92;nanobots .sqs&#34;&#34;}&#34;;
};[/QUOTE]

And, this gives me an error...

_damage is not a pointer to the vehicles damage but a new variable with its value, you need to use setDammage in the script to repair the vehicle.

It would help if you told what the error message says, but I think the problem is that you assume the "hit" &#39;s _this is the unit, but it&#39;s an array:

_this=[unit, causedBy, damage]

http://community.bistudio.com/wiki....ist#Hit

So change the hit handler to:
_this exec ""&#92;TerranTank&#92;scripts&#92;nanobots.sqs "";

NOT:
[_this] exec...

Also, does the array ECP_resources exist?

[mr. Duck]

Ok, I tried the setDammage commands, now the script looks like this:
<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">; Right, we are an armored vehicle
_vehicle = _this select 0

; check our health
_damage = getDammage _vehicle

; start damage control, start repair when damage is sufficient
#loopcheck
?&#40;0.1 &#60; _damage&#41; &#58; goto &#34;repair&#34;

goto &#34;loopcheck&#34;

; start repairing
#repair
_vehicle vehicleChat &#34;Hull damage detected, activating nanobots&#34;

~1
_vehicle setDammage 0.2

~1
_vehicle setDammage 0.1

~1
_vehicle setDammage 0

~0.7
_vehicle vehicleChat &#34;Hull repaired&#34;

The good news is, the error is gone. The bad news is, the script won&#39;t activate (afaik), I keep on receiving damage untill I die.

Correct me if I&#39;m wrong but this part:
<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">?&#40;0.1 &#60; _damage&#41; &#58; goto &#34;repair&#34;[/QUOTE]
Stands for when the vehicle has received 10% damage, then go to repair, right?

Hey Mr.Duck,

That script works very well for me.
I took a few hits,it reported the damage
and repaired it.

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">
Hit= &#34;if&#40;&#40;_this select 0&#41;==&#40;_this select 0&#41;&#41; then {_this exec &#34;&#34;&#92;PJTA_UD4L&#92;S&#92;Heal.sqs&#34;&# 34;}&#34;;

Does your hit EH differ much from this one?
Apart from the obvious.

I made no changes in the script.
So could it be something to do with the
Ecp EHs?

[mr. Duck]

It works now, nope my EH did not differ from yours. The problem was that I put the script on the wrong tank...

Thanks all&#33;

Here&#39;s a reworked version in case anybody might be interested for future use:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">; Right, we are an armored vehicle
_vehicle = _this select 0

; check our health
_damage = getDammage _vehicle

; start damage control, start repair when damage is sufficient
#loopcheck
?&#40;0.25 &#60; _damage&#41; &#58; goto &#34;repair&#34;

goto &#34;loopcheck&#34;

; start repairing
#repair
_vehicle vehicleChat &#34;Hull damage detected, activating nanobots&#34;

#repairing
?&#40;0 == _damage&#41; goto &#34;end1&#34;
_damage = getDammage _vehicle

~1
_damage = _damage - 0.1
_vehicle setDammage _damage

goto &#34;repairing&#34;

#end1
_vehicle vehicleChat &#34;Hull repaired, nanobots deactivated&#34;
