Killing A Player

[missleboy 0]

hey im using the code getDefaultVehicle().setDamage(.01) and when this happens it critically wounds the person and says you will respawn in: 0. but nothing happens after that. someone has to eather shoot you once or you have to switch to the other team. its very weird. can someone help me on this?

thanks,

Brnet

i just tested it some more and it appars as thow the people dont die all the way because if you are in a vehicle you can still drive but it says in the plaer list that you are dead. also when they speak it dosent say (dead)playername: chat message..

every one on my server is just getting freeked out now

To kill players via python you need to add a 'criticalDamage' to the soldiers armor component. Python can only set the damage to e.g. 0.1 and not 0 ( zero ) , the killing is then done by the 'hpLostWhileCriticalDamage'

in short add these lines to your soldiers armor component:

ObjectTemplate.armor.hpLostWhileCriticalDamage 1
ObjectTemplate.armor.criticalDamage 1

Also have a look at that python thread :
