Blue "Target" object - reviving

[krzychuzokecia 718]

Hi!

I've got a problem with a blue "Target" object - the one which falls when shoot several times. I want it to pop-up again, using radio-activated trigger and a "this SetDamage 0" command but... nothing happens! Probably target's damage is set to "0" (fully functional), but this command doesn't affect object's position - it's still laying "dead".

Any ideas how to force Target to stand up?

using radio-activated trigger and a "this SetDamage 0" command

I don't think this is not going to work in those circumstances -> Name the target.

You should wait for the target to complete its falling over animation (at least two seconds; three would be better for the smoke to clear) before it can return upright.

Hi krzychuzokecia;

Rage is correct, this works you only made a small mistake.

Name the target object (i used target1 in my test)

In the trigger "on activation" field put: "target1 setdamage 0"

You can also make the activation "Repeatedly" and it will reset on each radio call.

Yup, guys, You've found my mistake - it dawned on me this morning and I was like "argh! So stupid!" :D

My thinking was something along lines of "if I'll put a radio-activated trigger, it should work on any unit in it's activation field" - thing is I forgot that radio activation "blocks" activation field...

The only gripe I have now is that I've to name every Target object that I want to be "reusable" - I don't see any way to make this process (finding objects and adding them to array) automatic.

You can find the targets classname and then run a "find nearest" function (search OFPEC) based on that. It would take ages to search the whole map, but if they were in clusters...

Or Option B - via their Init lines

1. Open mission.sqm with a text editor

2. Add the following to one of the first Items in the class Vehicle section of the mission:

<arrayname> = []

3. Run a search for "TargetE" (the classname of the object)

4. Add the following to the Init line in each instance:

<arrayname> = <arrayname> + [this]

5. Check it has been applied correctly in the mission editor, and remove it from any targets you don't want included
