_x who is he?

[KrilionGD 0]

I am trying to find out the NAME of a unit in a list.

"_x setDammage 1" forEach thislist;"

-set off by a trigger

but what I really want to do is something like this..

"_x setdammage 1" foreach thislist; hint Format["%1 killed for leaving mission zone...", _x]"

is there a way to pull the unit ie (Killer_Bob) from _x ?

I also have a warning trigger set up 10m from the outer trigger that warns them they are are about to leave the area...

"hint "WARNING: about to leave mission zone..."";

but it would be REALLY nice to be able to...

"hint Format["WARNING: %1 you are about to leave the mission zone...", _x]" foreach thislist;"

I've searched and hunted, looked through some tutorial, but not many at all have any remarks about sending something to just one person (which would untimately be the best, instead of to everyone via hinh) or about getting information on _x when used with foreach thislist...

many thanks for any kind words...

Do this instead:

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

hint Format[""WARNING: %1 you are about to leave the mission zone..."", _x]" foreach thislist;

<span id='postcolor'>

Or doing

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

hint Format[""WARNING: %1 you are about to leave the mission zone..."", name _x]" foreach thislist;

<span id='postcolor'>

Might be a bit more informative.

"thislist" on which does this refer to?

I got a script which don´t work:

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

#start

_timer1 = 0

?(player distance bmp1) =< 2:goto "loop1"

~1

goto "start"

#loop1

_timer1 = _timer1 + 1

~1

?_timer1 == 10: player setdammage 0.1; goto "start"

?(player distance fire1) =< 2:goto "loop1"<span id='postcolor'>

This should be damaging an Soldier (doesn´t matter AI or Player) if he comes near this Object. And this often, if he keeps in range.

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

?(player distance bmp1) =< 2:goto "loop1"<span id='postcolor'>

This don´t work, I get an Error on the line.

Please help! Thank you, for your time
