Help with civilian kill

[Tand3rsson 10]

Hi.

This is my problem; I want that if you kill a civilian before they pass a certain point, then you will lose. If the civilian pushes further, beyond this point, then its is ok to engage him. A great plus would also be if you could do something like checkmuzzel so that you also have to fire a warning shot before shooting him. :confused:

What do you mean by "pass a certain point"?

[Tand3rsson 10]

Well, if they come within, say 200 m of the camp the player is guarding. Just as an exampel. In my mission youll be behind a HMG, and if the civilian dosent stop outside the base perimiter, you´ll be free to shoot

I see. Well in that case what you need to do is a create a repeatedly activated trigger that detects when units from the civilian side are present within the kill zone area (which you can define by altering the size of the trigger). Name this trigger "civTrig" in the "Name" field.

Now create another trigger over the position where all of the civilians start. Make sure that this trigger is large enough to include every single civilian; you might need to make it quite enormous, but that's OK. Like the first trigger, make this trigger activated by civilians being present, but unlike the first trigger, make this one so that it can be activated only once. In the On Activation field of this trigger, put the following:

{_x addEventHandler ["killed",{if !((_this select 0) in (list civTrig)) then {loss = true}}]} forEach thisList

Finally, create a third trigger. This trigger does not need to have any area; it will be activated by the "loss" variable. In the Condition field of this trigger, erase "This" and put the following:

loss

Now change the trigger's type to the End # that corresponds to the debriefing you wish to use in the event that the mission is failed on account of killing a civilian outside of the acceptable engagement range.

Try it again. I changed the code for the second trigger slightly, so it should work now.
