Deleting Triggers

[-45Cdo-Kotp 10]

Hi , im currently at completion of a mission I have been making for a number of weeks and to try and tidy everything up I am enquiring whether it is possible to delete a trigger i have placed down on the map after it have been activated.

Basicly my mission has a large number of custom voice files that are played using a script called from a trigger becoming activated.

Obviously if someone Joins In Progress and we have passed through a number of these triggers they will automatically hear All the voices that have been played due when they spawn in.

So my question is basicly once a trigger has become activated and the script has been called to play the voices required, is it possible to delete the trigger and thus stop the sound files playing for new people that JIP ?

Triggers are local to each machine: deleting a trigger on one machine will not do so for the rest.

I suggest using http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/addPublicVariableEventHandler instead: it fires only when a public variable is changed after the event handler is added. The downside is that it doesn't fire on the machine that updated the variable, so you'll have to script around that.

Thanks Celery appreciate your reply.

Is this true, that deleting triggers with:

deleteVehicle triggername;

Doesnt delete the triggers for all players?

deleteVehicle is a global command, so yes, afaik it would delete all players triggers with same triggername.

wiki also supports this by the statement in createTrigger.

Haven't checked this lately, but I have a note in my project about deleting triggers (automatically placed sound triggers on objects) that says that nearestObjects doesn't find triggers ("EmptyDetector"), but nearestObject does, but I settled on nearObjects. Also I don't give them names (which have to be unique), but I set the textfield instead. That way I won't be deleting any triggers that shouldn't be deleted (like mission triggers).

Okay, that was good. It also seemed to work, but after reading this I got confused. But thanks for clearing it up.
