Mr Love First, in the crowbar's gunspec make sure it can inflict damage.
damage = x (amount of damage) and damagetype = x where X = 0 – explosion (used for grenades), X = 1 – piece/single shot, X = 2 – shotgun/spread shot (increased damage with this type)
I guess damagetype = 1 would work for a crowbar?
So look at how much damage the wall can take before it collapses ( strength=x / can't be set to zero ) Then set your crowbar damage=x to how many hits it will take...
Secondly, in the weapon's (crowbar) gunspec make Double sure it doesn't say " equipment = 1" !!! This defines the gun as a non- lethal equipment

Perhaps I shourld set the damage to 1000000 and the walls health to 4000000, then with other guns You have to shoot about 24 hours to crack the wall, but then the Player wourld have a too powerful weapon..
Sad, I thought there was a way to recognize a weapon with a script...

There is, the commands PLRCURRENTWEAPON=X or PLRCURRENTWEAPON=Path work just fine for that.
By change is your wall an entity or a segment ??? If it's an entity it's easier to give it a script.

Wow those damage settings are way too high. Try setting the "wall" strength to about 10 or so. Then give the weapon (crowbar)
about a damage setting of 5 ? That way about two hits to break the wall ?

I want three or four hits to break the wall-hole. You can see Yourself at the picture that there is a hole in the wall, ofcourse its an entity...
If I set the strength to 10 I can break the wall with a small handgun. I dont want that!? Do You think there is a scripting solution to this problem?

Yes, let's try and set the entity "immune" until player has crowbar?

I'm just guessing here, but try that? You can also try "setbulletcoloff=x"

Nope.. I thought it wourld work, because ncmakos script always work! I did setup this "holeentity" as a dynamic object, and did add ncmakos script as main. I destroyed it with an automatic weapon.
Thanks anyway ncmako...


Sence it is impossible to throw away a gun(!) I wonder what decide in what slot the gun will end up in???

Mr Love Some scripts need a little tweeking, I noticed I made a typo in the first one
But here, this one I tested and works. You will HAVE to replace the weapon path with your crowbar's path

Adjust player distance to meet your needs

I dont see why the "plrdistwithin" commando is necessary when "plrcurrentweapon" shourld work? No it didnt work this time eather...

I just have to accept that Lee did remove all weapon commandos in later builds and it is nothing I can do about that. I set the crowbar damage to "2" sence My enemys has around "5" in health...

It's not, but this way the player needs to be close and be holding crowbar before entity can take damage.

It works perfectly for me ??? Did you add the file path for the crowbar ?

I don't think anyone has removed any gunspec commands I know S4Real has added some to Black Ice.

Yes, I tried path from gamecore\guns\EAI\CROWBAR1 and just EAI\CROWBAR1...

I think it was before Your time here. Maybe BI is better when it comes to certain commandos. If Black Ice just had a better collision system, I wourld have used Black Ice...

Mr Love I think it's an easy fix in the gunspec ? So what do you want to do, not use it?

Mr Love Ok, now the "wall" entity works and destroys when shot, correct ?
Pm me JUST the gunspec, nothing else !!! as it's personal property. I look to see if something is amiss.
I need to buy that pack anyway, has a lot of extra stuff I could use. I thought I had that pack, but guess not

Mr Love Change the damage type from a #2 to a 1 ( damagetype = 1)
2 is for shotguns, 1 is a single shot like a pistol, and then do test run.

I used this script, both with a handgun and the modified crowbar, both destroyed the wallpiece. Did I do anything wrong?


:state=0:setbulletcoloff=1,state=1
:state=1,plrdistwithin=80,plrcurrentweapon=ww2\colt45:setbulletcoloff=0,state=2
:state=2,plrdistfurther=85:setbulletcoloff=1,state=0

Mr Love The script is only on for the "wall" entity ( it's Main AI) Keep weapon scripts as normal.
Don't forget to change the weapon path for the crowbar.. plrcurrentweapon=Weapon Path for Crowbar

The only thing that may need a change is for the Crowbar's gunspec, change to "damagetype=1 (single pistol shot)

Attach the script only to the "WALL" entity Main AI. That's it.

Follow the script, the "Wall Entity" has No bullet collision turned ON at beginning (setbulletcoloff=1)
Then if player is with 80% of a segment AND !!! is holding the "crowbar" No bullet collision is turn OFF !!! (:setbulletcoloff=0)
Now the Crowbar can do damage to wall. If player is NOT holding Crowbar No bullet collision remains ON.
If player goes back further than 85% then script turns No bullet collision back ON and returns to beginning (state=0)

I know it can be a little confusing because of the command, it's weird setbulletcoloff=x "set bullet collision off" yes or no?
If you think about it, it sets if the entity has "No Bullet Collision" ..... not if it does (setbulletcolon) we don't have that syntax command yet.

Mr Love Don't give up It's a challenge Yes, I just grabbed the Modern Pack. Being the weekend I don't expect an answer until Monday ?
I'm sure it's in how your setting it up.... or the "Wall" entity itself.

Nope
I was able to destroy a barrel with only the crowbar and a colt45 could not.
The only thing I changed for the crowbar was in it's gunspec, I changed damagetype=1.
Then I added the same script I used before to my barrel...

The barrel would not be destroyed until the player has the crowbar and is within 60%. The command "plrdistwithin"
must be kept or the script will cycle and kill your fps if player ever pulls up the crowbar weapon
from any distance
