Draken35 Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 Scenery Objects does not have a getLife0 method, so, on mission start, I use their getLife method and store the result as the initial health. This value matches with the value of the attribute in getDesc. Now, the issue is that this value is not accurate! The initial reported health goes up after the first weapon hit in that target! See screenshot and attached mission and script please So, How to accurately get Scenery Objects initial Health in LUA? Or what am I doing wrong? sceobj.lua test-sceobj-life-CA.miz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure, something is a bit weird. I've checked that for Static units, the Life at impact (hit event) is the same as initial Life (ex: Workshop A, 1600 pts at hit event, which is correct initial life : DCS-miscScripts/Workshop A.lua at master · mrSkortch/DCS-miscScripts · GitHub ). Units behave differently (damaged at hit). Scenery Objects seem to have the same way to take damage than Statics. To get the life points after hit damage (for Statics and scenery) you have to delay getLife() from Hit event (1s in my test). I run your test mission with several Mk82 attacks until Scenery object is destroyed and all seem OK. The weird thing is that the scenery object life points vary from mission start to hit event. And sometimes it doesn't. test-sceobj-life-CA-mod.miz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the first hit, The scenery objects seem to behave but in none of my tests, the behavior of the initial health (before any impact) has been correct... Thanks for taking the time to test it!
