How to identify the _x?

[Undeceived 392]

Hi guys!

I have the following in the condition line of a trigger (the trigger has size 0 and repeats itself):

{(Dude knowsAbout _x) > 0.0002} count (units group enmygrp) > 0

If I'm not mistaken, this should activate the trigger when "Dude" knows about any unit of the group called "enmygrp". At least I hope this happens! :D

Now my question is:

How can I identify WHO THAT UNIT IS that makes the trigger launch so I can use his name to launch a script from the activation line?

In other words: I want the name of the detected unit of the group so I can do this with it:

[nameofdetectedunit] exec "dude_kills_detected_unit.sqs";

Do you have an idea? Thanks a lot!

{if (Dude knowsAbout _x>0.0002) then {_x exec "dude_kills_detected_unit.sqs"}} forEach units group enmygrp;

didnt realize foreach works as trigger condition, never got it to work on my conditions :S

{if (Dude knowsAbout _x>0.0002) then {_x exec "dude_kills_detected_unit.sqs"}} forEach units group enmygrp;

Wow, Celery, thanks a lot!

This seems to be the code for a script file and not for the condition line of a trigger, right?

I'll try it with a script then and will report back - thanks anyway.

One more thing now:

In the best case it would be that I don't need one script for every enemy group but instead one script with your code line that covers all possible units (with help of a large trigger area).

Now how would this code look like to work with all units in the trigger area? This way?

{if (Dude knowsAbout _x>0.0002) then {_x exec "dude_kills_detected_unit.sqs"}} forEach units list nameoftrigger;

Thanks again!

Just put it in the On act field in the trigger with the count condition.

Ok, I managed to get it working now. :) The _x unit is recognized and launches the script perfectly. :) Thanks so far!

I used the following:

Condition line: {(Dude knowsAbout _x) > 0.0002} count (units enemygrp) > 0

Activation line: {if (Dude knowsAbout _x > 0.0002) then {[_x] execVM "engage.sqf"}} forEach units enemygrp;

But the problem is now that even with the trigger being set to repeat, it won't activate itself again when "Dude" knows about the next unit of the group... I don't know why this happens. :(

Do you have an idea?

Change trigger condition to true and on act to 0=[] spawn {while {alive Dude} do {{if (Dude knowsAbout _x>0.0002) then {_x exec "dude_kills_detected_unit.sqs"}} forEach units group enmygrp;sleep 1}}

Really, thank you very much, Celery! :) It works like a charm! I only had to remove the word "group" before the "units". And now it works and the trigger activates repeatedly. :) Fantastic!!

Can I ask one last quesion (for now)? How would the code look if I want to involve not only one group but all units that are inside a trigger area?

I tried

0=[] spawn {while {alive Dude} do {{if (Dude knowsAbout _x>0.0002) then {_x exec "dude_kills_detected_unit.sqs"}} forEach units list triggername;sleep 1}}

and

0=[] spawn {while {alive Dude} do {{if (Dude knowsAbout _x>0.0002) then {_x exec "dude_kills_detected_unit.sqs"}} forEach list triggername;sleep 1}}

but without success...

Thanks, again!

The latter should work if the trigger is activated repeatedly by anyone.

[Undeceived 392]

Yes, I had to activate the area trigger by anyone!

Well, I think it will work now. As already said: Thanks a lot! :notworthy: :notworthy:
