Detect named unit in trigger area

[Ice_Rhino 3]

I want to trigger an event when one or both named units enter a trigger area. I can't use BluFor Present, has to be one or both named units

Thanks

Try on condition:

(alive name1) || (alive name2)

or

(alive name1) or (alive name2)

It is only a suggestion. I got (!alive name1) && (!alive name2) in my mission and it works.

Cheers

Valixx, thanks for this, I understand the syntax you have suggested but how do I link it to the trigger so that it fires when either unit moves in to the area?

I have seen talk of ARMA II referring to

unit in thislist

but I can't find the AnyBody command which ARMA II seems to use

You have to put it in the trigger condititon.

I am sure what you are telling me is right I just can't get it to work. To elaborate on my goal;

1. Two members of my team, having recently been freed from setcaptive. Units named blu_hostage_1 & 2

2. Move to a Trigger area of 50 x 50

3. In that trigger I have under the condition field:- (alive blu_hostage_1) or (alive blu_hostage_2)

4. Same Trigger (Grouped to me):- On ACT hint "Trigger fired"

No hint when the units get into the trigger zone

Well i'm not sure if i'm right :P

Heres a hostage mission i've created right now for you. You can edit it in the editor.

You spawn infront of a trigger.. if you run into it, the 2 hostages are following you. You need to bring them to another place. If you run into the trigger, they will be released out of your control. Look in the editor and preview.

Edit: I think your 4th step is false. You have to sync it, not group.

Ungroup the trigger from yourself and just leave it at default values. Place this in the condition

{[thisTrigger, _x]call BIS_fnc_inTrigger}count [blu_hostage_1, blu_hostage_2] > 2

[kylania 568]

How are you gonna get a greater than 2 count with only 2 units to count? :) > 1 right?

How do I access the mission you created for me?

I have placed this code

{[thisTrigger, _x]call BIS_fnc_inTrigger}count [blu_hostage_1, blu_hostage_2] > 0

and it works now, great stuff, THANKS!!!!

Just a point to note, if I ungroup the trigger from myself it did not work. In order for it to fire I had to change it to Switch & Anybody

[kylania 568]

Unless you left "this" in the condition you shouldn't need switch nor anybody since you're telling it specifically what to do. But at least it's working!

Lol yer i originally wrote it as ==2 to detect both, then reread the OP and realising he only wanted one or the other changed to > but forgot to change the number :D but i see Ice_Rhino got that sorted > 0 for either.

As kylania say aslong as only what i posted is in the condition (no 'this') then just a default trigger will do.
