Example 1:

// Adjust "speedLimit" variable to change limited speed. (A3 1.24 we don't need loop for a continus effect, limitSpeed alone is enough.) _this setVariable ["speedLimit", 200]; _nul = _this spawn { while {canMove _this} do { _this limitSpeed (_this getVariable "speedLimit"); sleep 0.1; }; };

["SpeedObserver","onEachFrame",{hintSilent format ["%1",speed vehicle MyVehicle]},[]] call BIS_fnc_addStackedEventHandler; sleep 10; MyVehicle limitSpeed 5; // watch the effect of this command.

class="note">(A1 1.08.5163)Has only an temporary effect on the vehicle specified (i.e. vehicle goes back to its previous speed right away). So, in order for this command to have a real, noticeable effect, it would have to be issued continuously (e.g. via a script loop, but in A3 1.24 it is unnecessary).

class="note">(A3 1.24)To clarify, limitSpeed only do effect on non-player controlled AI units, it has continuous effect and AI won’t break through the speed limitation until one is contacted, engaged or regrouped.
