How to: Count Civillian Casualty and lower score based on how many end of mission

[Woodpeckersam 18]

Hiya all! As the title says :D

I am wondering how this is possible? I've been trying a couple of scripts out and they dont seem to work.

Basically throughout the whole mission i would need a script that constantly loop, checking if any civillian units have died. When one of the civillians have died, i would to +1 to a variable... lets say...

civii = 0; //At the start
_count = forEach Units trigTown; //Name of trigger to check

if (countSide Civii < _count) //If every 1 Civillian dies do the following
{
 civii + 1;
};

I cannot seem to work out the logic with current codes for this script... I haven't tested it... so i know that it dont work at all

Ok so then at the end of the mission i would like some text to pop up to say...

If the player kills no civilians then say the following:

Congratulations! You killed no Civilians!

If the player kills at least 1 Civilians then say the following:

You killed %% amount of Civilians, your points have been deducted by %% points.

Is there a way to do this?

edit:

Oops thats quite a dodgy title for this thread haha

Better approach would just be to use eventhandlers for each civilian, to check when they are killed.

So i am assuming that this code will work in the trigger activation, provided that the trigger is set to Civilians Present and Repeatedly.

{_x addeventhandler ["killed",{civ_casaulties = civ_casaulties + 1}]} foreach units thislist;

How would i grab the variable from the trigger then do some maths and total it up at the end of the mission?

would i need to do this..

_count = count civ_casualties;
_score = _count * 20;
_total = score Player;

if (_count == 0) then
{
 titleText ["Well done! You have killed"+_count+"Civilians! Congratulations", "PLAIN"]
}
else if (_count > 0) then
{
 titleText ["You have killed"+_count+"Civilians! Your score will be lowered by"+_score+"percent", "PLAIN"]
 player addScore _total - _score;
};

Can you correct me if this is totally wrong please?

The variable is typo'd in the first bit: civ_casaulties :P

Otherwise looks good. When I do it I add it to each civilian's init field, but it should work in a trigger like that as well.

Thanks for te speedy response :D

I got a feeling that inputting variables into titletext is different from the way I did it. Haven't tested it though, however I'll research into that myself :D

Thanks!

titleText [format["Well done! You have killed"%_count" Civilians! Congratulations",]];

Sorry to be a nuisance but is this right?

titleText [format["Well done! You have killed %1 civilians! Congratulations!", _count], "PLAIN"];

If it works, post back, eh?! :)

AI often dies in buildings due to not enough room, on OA rocks, falls down from ladders or roofs, gets road killed by enemies, etc.

Hence I recommend to put in a check to the killed-Eventhandler, that makes sure it was one of your own people who killed the resp. civilian:

{_x addeventhandler ["killed",{if(side (_this select 1) == west) then {civ_casaulties = civ_casaulties + 1}}]} foreach units thislist;

(or "side (_this select 1) == east" depending on the faction you are playing)

Sorry i was out all day today.... but... thanks for your help guys :D

Actually theres not a problem with that at all Bon, as these civilians are out in the open, not in buildings :D But thanks for that cos it will actually helps! :D

So this works, how do i lower the score of the unit?

"_total" minus "_score"

_total = gets the current score of the player

_count = how many civilians got killed.

_score = score changes every time you kill a Civilian by "_count * 20" then lowers the score by getting the current score of the unit then taking away "_score".

Try this:

_civscore = _count * 20;

player addScore -_civscore;

May need to change "player" to correct name if this is for multiplayer.
