Distance parameter and Arrays

[eegore 11]

I have multiple triggers in a mission that tell units to go to a Game Logic once the player is within 3 meters.

player distance goat1 < 3

goat 1 doMove getPosATL barn

I can't figure out if there's a way to put the goats all in one trigger.

player distance [goat1,goat2,goat3] < 3

This wont work, but before I kill hours trying different ways I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to keep me from having 30 triggers if I had 30 goats. Maybe creating the goat array and naming it somehow?

Thanks

What about this:

{

if (player distance _x < 3) then {

_x doMove getPosATL barn;

};

} forEach [goat1, goat2, goat3...];

It has to be a script file, but its much more efficient.

[eegore 11]

It seems more efficient. I am spawning these goats by script so should I just run this via trigger one second after the goats spawn in?

[Silderoy 1]

You can have it in the same script. Just change the if syntax to waituntil, im writing from my phone so it takes too long...

[eegore 11]

Should it be:

{

waituntil (player distance _x < 3) then {

_x doMove getPosATL barn;

};

} forEach [goat1, goat2, goat3];

I underlined the change.

I added the code to the bottom of my spawn script but the goats don't move.

//spawn a goat that uses UPS
//_spawnPos = getMarkerPos "goatpatrol";
//goat0 = createGroup Civilian;
//"Goat" createUnit [(_spawnPos), goat0, "nul = [this, 'goatpatrol','nofollow'] execVM 'ups.sqf'",0.2,"SERGEANT"];
// NOTE: Learn how to hide "goatpatrol" marker

// spawnpos is my marker
_spawnPos = getMarkerPos "goat1";
// the animal belong to which side ""WEST", "EAST", "GUER", "CIV""
_group = createGroup Civilian;
// spawn the animal at my pos
Goat1= _group createUnit ["Goat01_EP1", [_spawnPos select 0,_spawnPos select 1,1], [], 1, "FORM"];
// hide the created marker "u can use this line in ur init.sqf too
"goat1" setMarkerAlpha 0;

//Repeat of commands without notation
_spawnPos = getMarkerPos "goat2";
_group = createGroup Civilian;
Goat2= _group createUnit ["Goat", [_spawnPos select 0,_spawnPos select 1,1], [], 1, "FORM"];
"goat2" setMarkerAlpha 0;

_spawnPos = getMarkerPos "goat3";
_group = createGroup Civilian;
Goat3= _group createUnit ["Goat", [_spawnPos select 0,_spawnPos select 1,1], [], 1, "FORM"];
"goat3" setMarkerAlpha 0;

//goats move to barn when player within 3m
{
waituntil (player distance _x < 3) then {
_x doMove getPosATL barn;
};
} forEach [goat1, goat2, goat3];

while {true} do {
{if(alive _x) then {
	if (player distance _x < 3)
	then {
		_x doMove getPosATL barn;
		}
		}
		} forEach [goat1, goat2, goat3];
sleep 0.5;
};

This works well, I added Persion MO's code to the bottom and all the goats go to the barn. The only weird thing is they all stack up so after 6 or so goats they look like one super goat standing at the barn.

Is it possible to add multiple locations so goat 1 and 2 go to "Barn" and other goats go to "Barn2" or "Truck" ?

I tried repeating the above code with name changes but nothing happened. By this logic could I put cows, sheep and goats all in one script and direct them to different Game Logics or units on the map?

There should be a better way but temporary it handle this.

add 2 H_empty in map and name it, barn, barn1

while {true} do {
{if(alive _x) then {
	if (player distance _x < 3)
	then {
		_x doMove getPosATL barn;
		}
		}
		} forEach [goat1, goat2];

	{if(alive _x) then {
	if (player distance _x < 3)
	then {
		_x doMove getPosATL barn1;
		}
		}
		} forEach [goat3, goat4];
sleep 0.5;
};
