Create soldiers with trigger problem

[Arska134 10]

Hi i just started making missions in Operation Flashpoint Resistance.

I tried to make trigger what is inside of tent and when west soldier touches the trigger, new west soldier AI is made. I tried this, but i got error when i load my mission.

Mission.sqm

class Item5
{
	position[]={5114.778809,21.542013,12328.648438};
	a=2.000000;
	b=2.000000;
	rectangular=1;
	activationBy="WEST";
	activationType="WEST D";
	repeating=1;
	age="UNKNOWN";
	name="traintrigger";
	class Effects
	{
			voice="Eng20";
			"SoldierWB" createUnit [position player, group player]
	};
};

So my game shuts down and i get this:

So i am making Arma 2 Domination AI style mission.

...and sorry my bad english. :D

Ok i solved the problem. It works if i put it in "on activation", but if i but it manually to script it won't work.

So now i have new problem. Unit is created and it joins in my group, but all players got unit to their squads.

So how i can spawn only one AI for player who train that soldier. Not for everyone. And how i check how many units are in my squad. (if over 8 units, can't train soldiers)

All players got units on their squad because you put "group player"

The Trigger sincronize the command to all players, so try with this script "on activation"

[thislist] exec "NewUnit.sqs"

You need to set the groups on the init of the leader, like

group1=group this

group2=group this

And, the server gamelogic placed on the mission.

Save this script on the main directory of your mission.

;NewUnit.sqs

;Variables
_groupnew = 0
_posnew = 0

;Check if the player is in the trigger, and not a simple AI
? (player in thislist): goto "checkgroup"
exit

;Check the group that is purchasing the new troop and if its the leader, and the number of units in the groups
#checkgroup
? (leader group1 in thislist and count units group1 < 8): _groupnew = group1; _posnew = position leader group1; goto "create"
? (leader group2 in thislist and count units group2 < 8): _groupnew = group2; _posnew = position leader group2; goto "create"
server sidechat ">>> HQ: You have more than 8 units <<<"
exit

;And keep adding more if you have more groups that can purchase units

;Create the unit
#create
"SoldierWB" createUnit [_posnew,_groupnew]
exit

It should work, I haven't tested it =P.

Ah, and i forgot your second question, editing.

The easier way is to write in trigger condition:

player in thislist && count units group player < 8

And don't touch the mission.sqm file.

So, i saved code in my mission folder as "newunit.sqs". I have trigger inside of tent. I put [thislist] exec "newunit.sqs" inside of triggers "on activation".

I step inside of tent and trigger activates ("go, go, go" voice). Put nothing else happens. I forgot something?

You have to set in the init of the leader (player I think) this:

group1=group this

And "group2=group this" for the second group, and if you have a thirst one, you need to edit the script and add a new:

? (leader group3 in thislist and count units group3 < 8): _groupnew = group3; _posnew = position leader group3; goto "create"

And obviously put in the init of the third group leader "group3=group this"

This is mainly for not spawn a unit on every group commanded by a player

Thanks it worked!

I ask one question in this topic because i don't want spam too many topics for my small questions.

So i am making vehicle repair script but i got some errors, again.

There is a script:

http://paste.im2clan.com/index.php?id=16272652934c4da5a031827

When i start mission in editor i got this:

_repair= this addAction ["Repair", "testi.sqs"];|#|´: Error Local Variable in global space

And this comes always when i try to fix vehicle:

´|#|}; ´: Error Invalid number in experssion

offtopic: Is there IRC channel for Operation Flashpoint problems?

[NacroxNicke 11]

Local Variable in global space, hmm, I remember that problem, it's really simple

You miss a _ before the "this"

It's " _repair = _this addaction ["Repair", "testi.sqs"]; "

Ok i start new topic because all of this is offtopic :D
