Author	Topic: Easy way to add killable pilot to all planes
Tailslide Pilot	posted 08-28- 11:53 AM Brainstorm.. we can add a KillPilot function to the pilot.sm file !! Just do like laika did and create a small fire under the pilot.. Any time you want the pilot dead (like those bulletholes in the side of the p47 bjorn? Do a (obExec (Name 'pilot func 'KillPilot) ) TS (going func-happy) IP: Logged
Tailslide Pilot	posted 08-28- 11:55 AM A gory version could put up blood drips or red tinted alpha map around the pilots view point.. IP: Logged
Whirlwind Pilot	posted 08-28- 12:29 PM (obHits 1) added to the crew object works, but the fire will work much faster. IP: Logged
Tailslide Pilot	posted 08-28- 01:20 PM Umm, no whirl didn't work for me or Laika. You can kill the pilot with alot of shots from slew mode that way but I never actually had one die in a dogfight, and I flew with it set like that for 6 months.

Whirlwind Pilot	posted 08-28- 04:56 PM Oh, my only experience is from bomber pilot/copilot losses. I loose a lot of test pilots to flak.... IP: Logged
Laika 801 Pilot	posted 08-31- 08:44 AM Hmmm, maybe altering the 'Ab lod (parent of all pilot objects) would be a better idea than the fire ? Actually the lod is only a small (very small) point or quad, when we would make it more like a simple pilot-shape etc etc ..... ? LK801 IP: Logged
Falck Pilot	posted 08-31- 02:40 PM My only objection to the fire idea is it guarantees death and not injury. IP: Logged
Tailslide Pilot	posted 09-01- 12:07 AM Hi Laika, I tried setting the close in LOD to be a poly shell that totally covers the outside of the canopy but I still couldn't die in a fight. Maybe you can try your axis-collision flag magic on something like this. TS IP: Logged
Tailslide Pilot	posted 09-01- 01:47 AM Flack it depends on the size and the duration of the fire and how many obhits the pilot has. you could set all this in a prob statement when the unarmoured part of the plane gets hit IP: Logged
Laika 801 Pilot	posted 09-01- 04:50 AM If we use the I-16 Fire thingy we should also check if an 'obFireResistance would make sense. Unfortunately I don't got time now... LK801 IP: Logged
