Parameters:

[part, damage, useEffects]: Array

object: Object - local object

part: String - Name of the part (selection name)

damage: Number - Damage value ranging 0..1, 0 being fully functional, 1 being destroyed

1.68 useEffects: Boolean - (Optional, default true) false to skip destruction effects

2.07 instigator: Object - (Optional, default objNull) The object that caused the damage. If the damage leads to the death of the unit, the instigator will be used as the object that caused the kill.

• It will alter the instigator's rating as if the instigator directly killed the unit.
  
• It will be listed as _killer parameter in the Killed event handler.

Return Value:

Nothing

Examples

Example 1:

vehicle player setHit ["motor", 1];

Example 2:

vehicle player setHit ["mala vrtule", 0.95];

Example 3:

if (local _heli) then { _heli setHit ["velka vrtule", 0]; } else { hint ("Vehicle " + str _heli + " must be local to this machine to do that!"); };

Deadfast

Damaging specific parts of the vehicle will not update its overall damage value (as of v1.03): player setHit ["hands", 0.9]; hint str (damage player); // will return 0

Direct use of the names of sections of the model is likely a bad practice, and will not work on some addons. So instead: _MH60S setHit ["elektronika", _hit]; should be used: _MH60S setHit [getText (configFile >> "cfgVehicles" >> "MH60S" >> "HitPoints" >> "HitAvionics" >> "name"), _hit];
