!alive Condition Not Working?

[infiltrator_2k 29]

This is bloody annoying me. Why is it when script something as simple as " If !(alive sniper) then {hint "the sniper is dead"}; " it doesn't work. Yet if I remove the exclamation to check if the object is alive it works. I've tried running it from both the init field and a script but it doesn't work.

if (!alive sniper) then {hint "sniper is dead"};

:)

exclam is part of the condition and must be inside the brackerts

if (!alive sniper) then {hint "sniper is dead"};

exclam is part of the condition and must be inside the brackerts

I don't think it MUST be there.

Isn't it because (alive sniper) returns true, so you're basically saying {if !(true)}. Which is entirely different than saying {if (alive sniper != true)}, aka (!alive sniper)

edit: Though I am totally forgetting that if he is dead then it would be {if !(false)}. However I'm not sure that that achieves anything either.

at the moment the line is run it will evaluate. maybe your not checking at the correct point in time.

e.g your only running the condition query once.

Try this instead

waituntil {sleep 1; ! alive Sniper};

hint "Sniper is dead";

if it's in a trigger, you put this in the condition line :

"!alive sniper"

and this in the action line :

"hint: the sniper is dead"

If you have just one condition:

!alive sniper1

If you have more than one:

!(alive sniper1) AND !(alive sniper2)
