Mine Simulation Script Not Returning Error, but not working either

[masonkiller 10]

I'm making a little script to simulate a minefield by causing explosions to randomly go off and kill each person who walks onto the trigger.

The trigger init:

mf = [thisList] execVM "minefield1.sqf";

And the script itself:

sleep 10;
_triggeractivatorlist = _this select 0;

while {(damage _x) < 1} do {

sleep random 15;

_mineexplosion = "Grenade" createVehicle (getPos _x);

} foreach _triggeractivatorlist;

Hey,

while

forEach

I don't get it? I've gone over those two pages many many times.

you should check the classes for grenades, as im pretty sure "grenade" isnt a class.

thats my guess, everything else looks good

your script has many flaws in functionality, but that aside, you cannot end a while loop with a foreach command, however you can combine those 2.

// proper while loop:
while {something} do {
  hint "whatever";
  sleep 1;
};

// proper foreach loop/iteration:
{
  hint "whatever";
} foreach [array_content];

// combined while and foreach:
{
  while {something} do {
     sleep 1;
     hint "this will show hint and sleep for each person in turn, one after another";
  };
} foreach [array_content];

Edit: for what you are trying to do i would recomend you spawn a while loop foreach thisList:

{
  _mines = [_x] spawn {
     while {damagething} do {
        <something code>;
     };
  };
} foreach list;

spawn means a seperate script is launched, so the foreach would not wait for all the random 15 sleeps, but instead run 1 "script" with the sleep for all of the units inside trigger at same time.
