Regarding Tires

Term · Post by **Term** » 2007-06-29 04:05

Will you ever be able to blow the tires of a humvee, APC, or other troop transport? I'm sure they'd still be able to move but a lot slower and with a lot harder handling.

dont think its possible, however it can be made so that after X amount of damage the movement will be reduced, but i dont think the hit detection works like that.

I've always wished I could shoot out the tires.

If we could then we could have spike strips.

I know its possible with 2142, not sure if it is the same with BF2. One of the Sir. community found it out. Maybe ask them.

No, destructible children are not possible in BF2 without an extreme amount of Python coding which would lag servers to hell and back.

Is that a term for components? Or are we talking destructible children?

Sorry, I forget that you pubbies don't know what BF2 coding terms mean.

Children are the sub-objects of an object. So a Humvee has several different children, the engine, tires, antenna, steering wheel, etc.

In that case the Humvee is the parent object.

Make more sense now?

Aww an i thought you meant kids that go boom!

On Topic tho..., I only just noticed the other day that if you knife tires they let off air as if punctured.., nice little touch hehehe.

Thats from vBF2 actually.

IIRC the military would normally use a foam filled tire which prevents flats, but I'd need a military advisor to chime in on that since I'm usually full of shit.
