cycle with count

[630R93 10]

Hi guys, I have this issue:

I have 5 enemies and I need to play radio msg when their count is 4 or less. I use:

_enemy = [npc1, npc2, npc3, npc4, npc5];

aliveEnemy = {alive _x} count _enemy;

if( aliveEnemy == 4 ) then {

player sideRadio "msg7" }

But I can´t reach it.I want to play it independently on any triggers or some other condition, just when their count is 4 or less. I know I can do it by cycle and I found that in sqf files it´s done by WHILE cycle, but I want to do it only once.

I would really appreciate any help, thank you very much:)

Why not share your solution?

That didn´t came to my mind, I´ve been wake up all night, sorry.

Here´s answer from armaholic http://www.armaholic.com/forums.php?m=posts&q=22393 which I get,

and here´s my solution, but it seems that previous solution would be better, I was only tired to try it.

In one script in 1st trigger is :

_enemy = [npc1, npc2, npc3, npc4, npc5];

while { alive enemy_house } do {

aliveEnemy = {alive _x} count _enemy;

sleep 2

}

For 2nd trigger (no size) condition I have: aliveEnemy < 5 or damage player > 0 //cause messages shall came after contact

and in script of this trigger are just messages that I want to call:

soldier1 sideRadio "msg7";

sleep 5.24;

soldier1 sideRadio "msg8";

sleep 8.27;

Pilot1 sideRadio "msg9";

sleep 1.29

I´m not sure if it´s necessary to make while cycle for count, but I had some problems with it. Now I´m more interested how to forbid my units to report enemy without disabling all radio, but that´s another topic. I should go sleep now, hope this helps someone:)

there is another, easier way. you dont need any script at all:

create a trigger and in its Condition field write this:

(!alive npc1) || (!alive npc2) || (!alive npc3) || (!alive npc4) || (!alive npc5) || (damage player > 0);

now you have 5 units, if one of them is dead, you have 4...

then if ncp1 dies, or ncp2 dies, or npc3.... then you have 4 units.

on the on act you write whatever you want...

Thanks man! That´s way better :)
