In my case: Capture the Cone :P
But its likely that other objects behave in the same way and the community is very creative in such things ;)

CtC !

New game mode xD

not a bug try this in the init line of the helicopter will fix it right up for you can use it on player or any type of unit

this allowDamage false;

ps:it will make the Helicopter invincible hope that will still work with your game mode

Enjoy :D

oh i just remembered when the helicopters hit the ground they may still blow up

Thanks, this works for now. But its still weird, that the Helicopter explode only when i attach special objects. For Example, when i attach a roadbarrier, nothing happens to the chopper.

may have something to do with the way the new physics engine works my theory is its calculating the damage as if you were hitting the cone at that speed as if the cone was at standstill however my little line of code is a good enough fix for what you want hope you enjoy look forward to seeing your game mode on the forums :D
