[question]stop car engine on car crash?

[cokacola]

okay, hello, just wondering if it is possible to stop a car engine when you crash into something solid...

they can start engine again, as i have a /engine script i found, but just wondered if you can stop car engine when crashing

not really shore you can, but i'd like to try

If setVehicleEngineState() works ok, then you can easily make such script. All you need to do is use that function in a onVehicleDamage event.

okay thanks

didn't notice there was a vehicle damage function

but the car engine state works as i have /engine to start and stop the engine(found it here, but understand how it works )

thanks!

Edit:

Okay, I tried it, and it doesn't do anything...here is my code, and i smashed into many a wall with the car

  
function stopEngine() 
    setVehicleEngineState2(source, false) 
end 
addEventHandler("onVehicleDamage",getRootElement(),stopEngine) 
  

say...just does nothing

EDIT:

okay it works now, but its really easy to break a car.. just tap a pole and the engine stops, is it possible to make it so you'd have to hit something hard for it to stop?

There is that parameter for triggered function in onVehicleDamage which is "loss". It represents how much damage your car got in this "hit", so just check if the "loss" is larger then some value and you're done. Read the wiki more, it's your best friend, just after google.

is there somewhere in the wiki i can find onVehicleDamage - it doesn't appear to be there...

Look this:

function displayVehicleLoss(loss)

local thePlayer = getVehicleOccupant(source)

if(thePlayer) then -- Check there is a player in the vehicle

outputChatBox("Your vehicle just lost " .. tonumber(loss) .. " health.", thePlayer) -- Display the message

end

end

addEventHandler("onVehicleDamage", getRootElement(), displayVehicleLoss)

And make a new onVehicleDamage with set how many HP it has to stop. Like 200.
