Count and display how many times trigger has been activated

[anthonyfromtheuk 6]

Looking around for this all I can seem to find is code to count units or alike but not how many times a trigger has been activated anybody point me in the right direction please? What I would like is a hint to pop up at the end of my mission showing how many times trigger X has been activated.

Use a Variable and on activation give it myvariable = myvariable + 1

I get what you mean but i have never used variables before, could you elaborate or link me to some sort of an example of variables in use please?

That should make the trick:

Imagine you want a trigger to activate when another one has been activated 10 times...

On init.sqf, add this: triggerCounter = 0;

Create the trigger you want to count their activations, set it to activate repeteadly, and on activation: triggerCounter = triggerCounter + 1; publicVariable "triggerCounter";

You can also add, just for more mission stability, in the condition place: this AND (triggerCounter < 10)

On the trigger you want to activate after ten times, on condition write: triggerCounter == 10

Hope this helps.

Managed to figure it out myself. Set variable in the init

triggered = 0;

. My first trigger is grouped to my unit being present and set to repeatedly has this in activation

triggered = triggered +1; Anthony sidechat "Trigger set off";

And then my second trigger set with same settings and this in activation

hint format["Triggered %1 times",triggered]; 

and this in deactivation

Sleep 3; Hintsilent "";

Works like a charm ;)

Thanks for your help Tisor, much appreciated.
