Event Handlers – Arma 3 Talk

Dammaged

Appears to only trigger if the damage is greater than 0.5

Repro:

• Add to player init

player addEventHandler ["Dammaged", { hint format ["Damage: %1", _this select 2]; }];

• Set elevation to 5 metres.
• Preview.
• Exit.
• Set elevation to 4.5 meters.
• Preview.

You may need to fiddle with those figures a bit, but it's a quick and dirty method to test.

Observe: Only damage above 0.5 is hinted.

Am I wrong, or should this be noted in the documentation?

-- Yes, Dammaged EH is less sensitive than HandleDamage, not sure if there is a defined threshold.

So we should add a note to the documentation? I'm pretty sure a threshold of 0.5 exists, but that obviously needs testing of verification from bistudio to justify an absolute statement. I'd consider any verifiable fact that affects returns to be important to note, even if the fact is imprecise. A note to the effect that "Dammage will not necessarily trigger for < 0.5 damage", would at least save some folk the trouble I had trying to figure out WTF was going on.

-- I wouldn't put any definite numbers if I were you. It needs to be tested not only with units and as far as I remember for vehicles you can get EH triggered for damages < 0.5. I personally think copy paste from "Hit" EH where it explains sensitivity would be sufficient.
