{alive _x} count thislist<3

[Kommiekat 11]

Hello everyone,

I just want to clarify this code I'm going to use in 3 triggers.

I want Opfor to clear three areas of the battle field of Independents for a TASK SUCCESS.

My confusion is this:

{alive _x} count thislist<3

Independent

Present

or

{alive _x} count thislist<3

Independent

Not Present

In other words, should be present or not present?

Lastly, same question for this code:

{alive _X && !isFleeing _X} count thislist <= 5

.........which pretty much does the same thing, yes?

Thank you for your help,

KK

Present. It's sure.

But I'm not sure thislist is change in runtime or not. For 100% sure, I should do this: create two trigger. One is triggered in the begining of the mission by "present independent" and codeline: aafdefenders=thislist; And the other trigger is triggered by your code: {alive _x} count aafdefenders<3

If you want to check the number of independents in the area you are going to have to check the side count inside the trigger. Your condition code as it is checks for all sides. When the condition box of the trigger doesn't have a "this" statement in it, the parameters you setup for the trigger aren't considered except maybe the size of the trigger area depending on your condition code. If you want to check to see the count of alive independent forces use this.

{side _x == independent}count thisList <= 5 && this

Thanks Mr. Bardosy!

Hi, so to be sure, that's Independent PRESENT in the trigger, correct?

[Johnson11B2P 3]

Correct because this will make thisList include only Independent units inside the trigger area.

if the trigger is already INDEPENDENT PRESENT then thislist won't contain EAST or WEST units anyway.
