Can you prevent player aircraft from being able to fire weapons

As the topic says, is there any way you can prevent player controlled aircraft from being able to fire any weapons when within a trigger-zone?

_dist = get player position in regards to _triggerZone

if _dist <= _triggerZone.radius then
     prevent player shooting
     This is the code I'm after.
end

If you want to make a mission, you can try to set a "weapon failure", but works afaik only for SP missions.

But normally... this is a simulation and it should be done with a text message like "You are entering a safe zone, firing weapons is prohibited"

well, there might be two ways to do it:

1:

if a weapon is fired within that zone, you can remove the weapon from the server shortly after, that would work with all aircraft.

2:

excluding the FC3 aircraft, you might be able to check an argument, for that matter the master arm switch. when entering the trigger zone you could let the script set it to off, and check if it is set to on in that zone, if so, then switch it back by script, might work i think.

anyway, i remember an argument list for the huey, but dont know where it went, also getting the arguments for the other aircraft might be some work.

others have to help you anyway, i know it's possible, but the exact how to i cannot help sadly.

It is probably possible to kick someone out of his aircraft the moment he fires in a certain zone.

It is the same on the acrobatics server, but then with speeding (condition) on the taxiway (area).

You might also be able to immediately make a weapon vanish after launching in a certain zone.

How? I have no idea.

if you would try, and you will not do, to arm your aircraft on a carrier on the VA server, you will be kicked out of the aircraft and the weapon will be gone.

(did a test for that script for shadoh when the script was implemented)

the question however would be: what do you want to happen? just prevent firering? or remove the player? something different?

First preference is only to prevent firing in the zone. I'll go with just the message in the zone for now and look about a different solution if it gets abused. Wanting this so the modern jets don't go easy target hunting on the early era jets / props within their zone on the map. Even the kick from aircraft would be fine, as long as it doesn't disconnect them from the server.

that is possible.

Top stuff. Thanks for the replies guys. Looks like I'll stick to the kicking from aircraft, with thanks to who PM'd me the code for this.

Steggles, My apology for the necropost of your thread but I was just wondering if you got anywhere with this project? (I am also looking for a gun free zone and max taxi speed scripts).

Instead of kicking from the aircraft, have both engines shut down and/or ignite in uncontrollable flames. That should keep the offending pilot busy for a while.

If he fires again, have all hydraulics fail for 10-30 secs for each of the next 1-5 minutes. Or perhaps have all weapons malfunction/jettison.

That’ll learn ‘em!

Isn't there a "random failure" trigger for that? :joystick:
