How to detect that spawned group is dead or alive + how to custom init

[Deform 10]

Hello.

So I've been making COOP mission and it starts by US forces getting ambushed inside a Takistan village. This is the script I use to spawn the enemies.

_mygroup = []; 
_mygroup2 = []; 

if (isServer) then {

_mygroup = [getmarkerpos "grp1", EAST, ["CAF_AG_ME_T_AK47","CAF_AG_ME_T_AK47","CAF_AG_ME_T_AK74","CAF_AG_ME_T_PKM"],[],[],[],[],[],180] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup;

_wp1 = _mygroup addWaypoint [getmarkerpos "wp1", 0]; _wp1 setWaypointType "MOVE"; _wp1 setWaypointSpeed "normal"; _wp1 setWaypointBehaviour "combat"; _wp1 setWaypointFormation "LINE";

_mygroup2 = [getmarkerpos "grp2", EAST, ["CAF_AG_ME_T_AK47","CAF_AG_ME_T_AK47","CAF_AG_ME_T_AK74","CAF_AG_ME_T_PKM"],[],[],[],[],[],180] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup;

_wp1 = _mygroup2 addWaypoint [getmarkerpos "wp1", 0]; _wp1 setWaypointType "sad"; _wp1 setWaypointSpeed "FULL"; _wp1 setWaypointBehaviour "aware"; _wp1 setWaypointFormation "LINE";

};

How I want this to work:

1. When player kill all the enemies. I want to assign new task. So I need way to detect when these spawned units are dead.

2. Custom init. I want to add these enemies "This allowFleeing 0", how I can add that.

So any advice what I need to add to this script?

Thanks in advance :)

waitUntil {
{alive _x} count (units _myGroup) == 0 &&
{alive _x} count (units _myGroup2) == 0
};

// --- New task stuff

Or maybe..

waitUntil {{alive _x} count (units _myGroup) + (units _myGroup2) == 0};

For adding the init line:

{

_x allowFleeing 0;

} forEach units [_mygroup, _mygroup2];

Thank you for insanely fast replies! Helped alot. This is what I have now:

_mygroup = []; 
_mygroup2 = []; 

_mygroup = [getmarkerpos "grp1", EAST, ["CAF_AG_ME_T_AK47","CAF_AG_ME_T_AK47","CAF_AG_ME_T_AK74","CAF_AG_ME_T_PKM"],[],[],[],[],[],180] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup;
_wp1 = _mygroup addWaypoint [getmarkerpos "wp1", 0]; _wp1 setWaypointType "MOVE"; _wp1 setWaypointSpeed "normal"; _wp1 setWaypointBehaviour "combat"; _wp1 setWaypointFormation "LINE";

_mygroup2 = [getmarkerpos "grp2", EAST, ["CAF_AG_ME_T_AK47","CAF_AG_ME_T_AK47","CAF_AG_ME_T_AK74","CAF_AG_ME_T_PKM"],[],[],[],[],[],180] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup;
_wp1 = _mygroup2 addWaypoint [getmarkerpos "wp1", 0]; _wp1 setWaypointType "sad"; _wp1 setWaypointSpeed "FULL"; _wp1 setWaypointBehaviour "aware"; _wp1 setWaypointFormation "LINE";

waitUntil {
   {alive _x} count (units _myGroup) == 0 &&
   {alive _x} count (units _myGroup2) == 0
};

p1 sidechat "script test";

That works perfectly. However if I add "Allowfleeing" command, it doesnt work anymore. This is what I tryed:

_mygroup = []; 
_mygroup2 = []; 

_mygroup = [getmarkerpos "grp1", EAST, ["CAF_AG_ME_T_AK47","CAF_AG_ME_T_AK47","CAF_AG_ME_T_AK74","CAF_AG_ME_T_PKM"],[],[],[],[],[],180] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup;
_wp1 = _mygroup addWaypoint [getmarkerpos "wp1", 0]; _wp1 setWaypointType "MOVE"; _wp1 setWaypointSpeed "normal"; _wp1 setWaypointBehaviour "combat"; _wp1 setWaypointFormation "LINE";

_mygroup2 = [getmarkerpos "grp2", EAST, ["CAF_AG_ME_T_AK47","CAF_AG_ME_T_AK47","CAF_AG_ME_T_AK74","CAF_AG_ME_T_PKM"],[],[],[],[],[],180] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup;
_wp1 = _mygroup2 addWaypoint [getmarkerpos "wp1", 0]; _wp1 setWaypointType "sad"; _wp1 setWaypointSpeed "FULL"; _wp1 setWaypointBehaviour "aware"; _wp1 setWaypointFormation "LINE";

{
_x allowFleeing 0;
} forEach units [_mygroup, _mygroup2];  

waitUntil {
   {alive _x} count (units _myGroup) == 0 &&
   {alive _x} count (units _myGroup2) == 0
};

player sidechat "script test";

_allUnits = (units _mygroup1) + (units _mygroup2);
{_x allowFleeing 0;} forEach _allUnits;

waitUntil {sleep 5; {alive _x} count _allUnits == 0};
// create your task

Oh...Iceman ninjad me this time.

Anyway... always use a sleep, when you utilize in waitUntil for something like that!!!

You really don't need to count the units on every tick.

edit:

units [_mygroup, _mygroup2];

Are you sure that works? I don't think the units-command accepts an array as parameter.

Its working perfectly now, Im still pretty novice when it comes to scripting :confused: But again I learned something new, thanks again!

You would be right, I jumbled up a couple different ideas into one, my mistake :p.
