trigger condition question

[jandrews 116]

I am trying to make this trigger condition once any IND forces are present distance _name < 2. I know its not this easy BUT not sure if I can make it to any IND present to object. I have seen where _player distance trigger < ; but not faction or side.

ideas? thanks

_trg = createTrigger ["EmptyDetector", getMarkerPos _markerCO];

_trg setTriggerArea [400, 400, 0, false];

_trg setTriggerActivation ["EAST", "NOT PRESENT", false];

_trg setTriggerStatements ["this", "", ""];

enemyDead = false;

waitUntil {triggerActivated _trg && guer distance SDV < 2 && guer distance SDV1 < 2};

Not sure if I understand you correctly with the "distance < 2", but at least your trigger activation has to be different:

_trg setTriggerActivation ["GUER", "PRESENT", false];

"EAST" is opfor. And by "NOT PRESENT", your trigger would have fired as soon as a unit of the respective side leaves the trigger area.

See here for more information.

So, what do you mean by "once any IND forces are present distance _name < 2"? Do you mean, the trigger should fire as soon as an indfor unit is closer than 2m to the trigger? In that case:

_trg setTriggerArea [2, 2, 0, false];

Sorry for the confusion

_trg = createTrigger ["EmptyDetector", getMarkerPos _markerCO];

_trg setTriggerArea [400, 400, 0, false];

_trg setTriggerActivation ["EAST", "NOT PRESENT", false];

_trg setTriggerStatements ["this", "", ""];

enemyDead = false;

waitUntil {triggerActivated _trg == this is set for when all units in zone are killed

&& guer distance SDV < 2 && guer distance SDV1 < 2}; == is for when Ind units are <2 2 SDV's.

Its basically clear the area and capture 2 SDV's. But task success does not happen until all are met.

enemyDead = false;

waitUntil {triggerActivated _trg && guer distance SDV < 2 && guer distance SDV1 < 2};

hopefully that is more clear.

BUT I am not sure how to script x_player on Ind side to be within <2 of each SDV for condition to be met.

I have a thought. This is more work but....

_trg = createTrigger ["EmptyDetector", getMarkerPos _markerCO];

_trg setTriggerArea [400, 400, 0, false];

_trg setTriggerActivation ["EAST", "NOT PRESENT", false];

_trg setTriggerStatements ["this", "", ""];

_trg1 = createTrigger ["EmptyDetector", getPos SDV];

_trg1 setTriggerArea [3, 3, 0, false];

_trg1 setTriggerActivation ["GUER", "PRESENT", true];

_trg1 setTriggerStatements ["this", "hint captured", "hint captured"];

_trig1 attachTo [sDV,[0,0,0]];

_trig1 setTriggerTimeout [10, 10,10, true];

_trg2 = createTrigger ["EmptyDetector", getPos SDV1];

_trg2 setTriggerArea [3, 3, 0, false];

_trg2 setTriggerActivation ["GUER", "PRESENT", true];

_trg2 setTriggerStatements ["this", "hint captured", "hint captured"];

_trig2 attachTo [sDV1,[0,0,0]];

_trig2 setTriggerTimeout [10, 10,10, true];

enemyDead = false;

waitUntil {triggerActivated _trg && triggerActivated _trg1 && triggerActivated _trg2};

Ideas?

Alright, I was searching for a command to get all units of a specific side, but as that obviously doesn't exists, here's what I'd do:

Create a trigger checking for the driver of the two SVDs:

_trg2 setTriggerStatements ["
 side driver (missionNamespace getVariable 'SDV_1') isEqualTo independent &&
 side driver (missionNamespace getVariable 'SDV_2') isEqualTo independent
", "", ""];
//where "SDV_1" and "SDV_2" are the names you gave those SDVs in the editor

And check in your first triggers condition if the second trigger is activated:

_trg1 setTriggerStatements ["this && triggerActivated (missionNamespace getVariable 'second_trigger')", "", ""];

I haven't tested it, but it should work.

The code does exist:

_units = [];

{
 if (side _x == GUER) then   {
   _units set [count _units, _x];
 };
}forEach allUnits;//<<this needs to be changed for trigger list.

Trigger

_trg = createTrigger ["EmptyDetector", getMarkerPos _markerCO];
_trg setTriggerArea [400, 400, 0, false];
_trg setTriggerActivation ["EAST", "NOT PRESENT", false];
_trg setTriggerStatements ["this && {{
_sdv = _x;
{
	if (side _x == independent && {_x distance _sdv <= 3}) exitWith {true};

}forEach allUnits;
}count [sdv, sdv1] == 2}", "", ""];

commented statement

//trigger condition
this && {{
_sdv = _x;
{
	//independent AND is near sub
	if (side _x == independent && {_x distance _sdv <= 3}) exitWith {true};

//all units		
}forEach allUnits;

//each sub
}count [sdv, sdv1] == 2}

So the trigger fires when OFOR are not present (this) AND for each sub (count [sdv, sdv1] ) it will check to see if there is an INDEP within 3 meters. If its true for both subs (== 2) then the trigger fires

thanks for all your help guys.

Trigger

_trg = createTrigger ["EmptyDetector", getMarkerPos _markerCO];
_trg setTriggerArea [400, 400, 0, false];
_trg setTriggerActivation ["EAST", "NOT PRESENT", false];
_trg setTriggerStatements ["this && {{
_sdv = _x;
{
	if (side _x == independent && {_x distance _sdv <= 3}) exitWith {true};

}forEach allUnits;
}count [sdv, sdv1] == 2}", "", ""];

I have another task which is similar but with the large sub. Could I just replace "sub" in the 2 places and count == 1 to still work?

Trigger

_trg = createTrigger ["EmptyDetector", getMarkerPos _markerCO];

_trg setTriggerArea [400, 400, 0, false];

_trg setTriggerActivation ["EAST", "NOT PRESENT", false];

_trg setTriggerStatements ["this && {{

_sdv = _x;

{

if (side _x == independent && {_x distance sub <= 3}) exitWith {true};

}forEach allUnits;

}count _{== 1}", "", ""];}

Yes that will give you the same affect for just the one object.

Just make sure that the _sdv = _x; is changed over to sub as well:

_trg = createTrigger ["EmptyDetector", getMarkerPos _markerCO];
_trg setTriggerArea [400, 400, 0, false];
_trg setTriggerActivation ["EAST", "NOT PRESENT", false];
_trg setTriggerStatements ["this && {{

sub = _x; //<<<<<< _sdv to sub
{
if (side _x == independent && {_x distance sub <= 3}) exitWith {true};

}forEach allUnits;
}count [sub] == 1}", "", ""];

Thanks by the way. appreciate the help.

No need to change any of the variables other than the one in the count array. The other _subs are just references to this when its used to iterate around allUnits. Maybe i shouldnt of called it _sub to avoid confusion.

_trg setTriggerStatements ["this && {{
_currentObject = _x;
{
	if (side _x == independent && {_x distance _currentObject <= 3}) exitWith {true};
}forEach allUnits;
}count [sub] == 1}", "", ""]; //sub here is the object to check against
