Making A Trigger For Objectives

[Phonix644 10]

Hi,

I'm new to the forum and this is my first post,

I am trying to make a trigger so that when units are dead in an area the objective is completed and it says something like "Objective 1 completed". I'm not really sure how to do this - I have already established that I have to set the activation to OPFOR and for them not to be present, but what would I put the 'type' to - guessing not end 1 :P

I’m guessing this would require a bit of coding which I ain’t good at yet so some help would be great thanks :D

nothing.

You could just in the field On Activation write:

hint "Objective complete"

If you've made a briefing, you would also update the objective state by executing your code from the on activation field.

"1" objStatus "DONE"; tskobj_1 setTaskState "SUCCEEDED"; Hint "Objective complete.";

tskobj_1 being the name of your task in your briefing.

""1" objStatus "DONE";" is from OFP and is not used in ArmA2's task system.

You'd also use taskHint rather than hint.

taskhint ["Task Succeeded!\nGood job!", [0.600000,0.839215,0.466666,1], "taskDone"];

Here's a task demo using briefing.sqf and here's one using just triggers.

What he said.

I copied from an mission collection I had, and must have picked the wrong folder. Sorry. But nice to know you got it working.
