Setting aircraft vehicle health to zero causes infinite blowing

[Xenius97]

Describe the bug Spawn a helicopter or plane, change health to 0. When you change health, and heli explodes onVehicleExplode && onClientVehicleExplode won't detect. Sometimes heli keeps blowing after fixing it. + When you change health to zero sometimes it causes infinite blowing.

Expected behaviour Work as another vehicles

What you're seeing is intended behaviour.

All cars/helicopters/planes etc, once set to 0 health, will have ~5 seconds before they actually "explode" and are destroyed.

In the case of cars, they will set on fire before exploding. However with helicopters and planes, they have an explosion effect instead of being set on fire (which is what you describe as "infinite blowing"). This is the same in singleplayer.

blowVehicle instantly triggers the explosion which "destroys" the vehicle.

This is why the on(Client)VehicleExplode event fires instantly when using :blow(), but there's a delay when setting vehicle health to 0.

[Xenius97]

If you change health to zero, onVehicleExplode && onClientVehicleExplode will never trigger on helicopters/planes. I think it's bug.

That's not shown either by your video, or by testing that I did myself. The event triggers fine after setting health to 0, just ~5 seconds afterwards as I've explained above.

Your own video shows the event firing after 5 seconds. At around 1:52 you set the helicopter health to 0, then at around 1:58 the event is triggered once the pre-explosion effects are finished (see debugscript output).

Please provide new details if you're experiencing something other than what's been shown and explained to be intended behaviour.
