How to activate trigger with specific unit(s)

[arthur666 10]

I searched a little but am still not sure how to do this. I want a switch trigger to activate when any of a group of units enter it. Lets say I have units named BTR1, BTR2, and BTR3. What would I type in the conditions box if I wanted any of these to activate the trigger if the entered it? And what other settings up top should I use?

Group the trigger and the group leader.

Group the trigger and the group leader.

They're not in the same group.

[chacne 17]

thats actually quite a good question because you cant group it to more than one group :)

i be interested to hear the answer to this myself

[kylania 567]

btr1 in thislist || btr2 in thislist || btr3 in this list || brt4 in thislist

[Junker 0]

btr1 in thislist || btr2 in thislist || btr3 in this list || brt4 in thislist

That code would go into your condition box :)

Cool.

So || means "or"? If I wanted all of those units to be present, not just any in order to activate the trigger, what would I use?

[wraith_v 11]

then use && (and):

btr1 in thislist && btr2 in thislist && btr3 in thislist

What if I wanted and Object and the Player inside the triggerzone to activate the trigger?

trigger anyone present.

cond:

objectName in thisList AND unitName in thisList

trigger anyone present.

cond:

objectName in thisList AND unitName in thisList

It's not working. I have an ammo crate that can appear in 3 random places the player has to find that crate to end his task.

So I placed a triggerzone upon the 3 locations where the crates can appear en used this code

Crate in thisList && Player in thisList

this works:

unitname in thisList and (unitname distance objectname) < 5

means that when unit named unitname is inside trigger and is less than 5 meter away from the crate named objectname
