Objects

Help me ?

I have red barrels - and i want to drop them from my vehicle - I can make this work... except the objects dont move...

When you place a red barrel, to make it move you have to push it, right?

How do i make it so that if i create a red barrel, it drops by itself instead of needing to be "pushed"?

setElementVelocity

setElementVelocity doesnt work with objects, but you can do a little trick: create any vehicle (for example, flower pot, ID 594) set its alpha to zero, set it to be damage proof and then attach your object to it. Then you just should to apply setElementVelocity on your vehicle.

local pot = createVehicle( 594, 0, 0, 0 )
setElementAlpha( pot, 0 )
setVehicleDamageProof( pot, true )
local object = createObject( 1582, 0, 0, 0 )
attachElements( object, pot )
 
setElementVelocity( pot, 0, 0, 1.5 ) -- lets throw our object in air

Thats awesome, thanks, but now i have 1 problem - the objects are respawning after they blow up.

Do i set a timer and destroy the element?

No worries - i've done it

setTimer ( destroyElement, 6000, 1, pot )
setTimer ( destroyElement, 6000, 1, redbarrelobject )
