Activate trigger if it's anybody but man01

[Mikee 10]

Hey guys, I need help. What do I put in condition of the trigger, that would active the trigger if it's anybody, but not unit named man01?

Basically, I want all players to be able to activate the trigger, except for one player named man01.

You could do this, let's say if the trigger is activated by blufor present repeatedly:

this and !(man01 in thisList)

However, if man01 is in the trigger area, it will not fire for anybody. Once he's out of the trigger area, it will fire again.

It doesn't work :(.

{_x in thislist && _x != man01} count playableunits > 0

[Mikee 10]

{_x in thislist && _x != man01} count playableunits > 0

Still nothing.

Just tested it, worked fine. Whats your trigger's activation settings?

shk's method works and is the best solution I can think of. Make sure that the trigger is actually setup to be activated by "Anybody: Present" at the top of the trigger dialog.

How can i do it the other way around?

lets say that the trigger should be triggered when man01 walks in, but not if anybody else goes in?

Activation: anybody

Present

Cyclical

Condition: {_x in thislist && _x != man01} count playableunits > 0

On activation: my script. I also tried to put hintC "test". To see if it works, but it didn't for me.

@shk: how are you testing this? playableUnits returns an empty array in single player. However if you use 'allUnits' then it works. Also man01 must exist or it will not work either.

Just group trigger with the guy and make it activated by vehicle.

Alternatively, make the trigger for Anybody Present, then put "man01 in thisList" as the condition.

I'm also using ACE, but I don't think it would matter in this situation. So, does anybody have ideas how to make it to work? I appreciate that you guys take time to help me out.

Condition: {_x in thislist && _x != man01} count allUnits > 0 - it works. Thank you guys.

How should i formatt it?

i´ve tested man01 in thisList but it keeps complaining about "missing ;"

[st_dux 26]

You need to put

man01 in thisList

In the condition box. Erase the default "this" first.

thanks!

MP editor and dedicated server. Why would someone test MP missions in SP editor? ;)

[AZCoder 921]

Never worked on MP missions, didn't know if it had an editor :) Just googled it, I see how to find it now. Cool.

Question for "in thislist" change since updates

truck1 in thislist AND truck2 in thislist;

Did work requiring both trucks present for the trigger to activate.

Now only first part works i.e. "truck1 in thislist" for truck1

if you add the "AND truck2 in thislist" the trigger wont work at all! :(

Iv'e tried various combinations of &&, ((, or { & not solved it yet. Any one help?

Found it! took a tip from previous poster tried ((truck1 in thislist)) AND ((truck2 in thislist)) And change the activation to Anybody Present and it works
