list all triggers on the map

[xoo 10]

Hello,

Is there any way to list all triggers on the map ? (placed on editor or dynamicly generated)

I would list them in order to get their names.

[jshock 513]

_allTriggerNames = [];
{
if (typeOf _x isEqualTo "EmptyDetector") then
{
	_allTriggerNames pushBack (vehicleVarName _x);
};
} forEach vehicles;

{
   hintSilent _x;
   sleep 2;
} forEach _allTriggerNames;

Yep, keep in mind though that "EmptyDetector" catches also game logics and curator modules, so will have to filter that array.

Thx a lot guys !! :)

no matters for filtering the array... that's the goal.

now i hope i can use a joker (*) when filtering my array.

Could you please, please stop talking rubbish? allMissionObjects "EmptyDetector" does not detect "Logic" and never did. allMissionObjects "Logic" detects "Logic". If you just spent 5 min testing it yourself like I always do you wouldn't be spreading misinformation trying to challenge my every post.

My apologies. Most of the poking I did into this was 1 year ago. I'd remembered (perhaps incorrectly?) capturing game logics in the "EmptyDetector" object class.

It is possible that some kind of capture logic uses trigger, and perhaps it even inherits from "EmptyDetector".

This line returns an array which looks like this:

Did I do something wrong? My triggers are called t1 - t1_30 (for testing purpose only)

I expected, that the array would show the name of each trigger.

[Schatten 290]

allMissionObjects returns array of objects. Try to use https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/vehicleVarName.

It shows debug names assigned to triggers. AFAIK you cannot get the name of the trigger, but you can get the text, which you would need to manually set up in editor.

Thanks for the clarification.

[xoo 10]

Sure i'm unable to get the trigger's names, so unable to find only my capture triggers.

So if we can't have more informations than the below code we have to cheat with the usual use of the trigger's fields

systemChat "START...";
_alltriggers = allMissionObjects "EmptyDetector";

systemChat format["total triggers:%1",(count _alltriggers)];
sleep 2;
systemChat format["triggers:%1",_alltriggers];
sleep 2;

{
systemChat format["TRIG: %1 - NAME: %2",_x, (vehicleVarName _x)];
hint str [triggerText _X];
hint str [
   _x,
   triggerText _x,
   triggerType _x,
   triggerArea _x,
   triggerActivation _x,
   triggerStatements _x,
   triggerTimeout _x,
   triggerActivated _x,
   list _x,
   triggerAttachedVehicle _x
];
sleep 5; 
} forEach _alltriggers;
systemChat "END !!";

So, the only way to deal with triggers placed in editor is t0 replicate the trigger's name in text field... OMG

[f2k sel 164]

Why do you need to know the names of the trigger, if you give them names one by one you know the names and can make an array.

If it's done dynamically you still store them in an array and just select the one you want.

[xoo 10]

Sure, it's already done, but in any programming language you can access every properties of the objects instances you've created... especially their ID/names. Why SQF can't !?

[f2k sel 164]

I guess it fell through the cracks or they never expected anyone to need it.

[xoo 10]

like associative arrays !! Really never needed by developers... :rolleyes:

[Larrow 2822]

Its not really a programming language, its a scripting API.

Why SQF can't !?

It could, it just has not been implemented as F2K Sel said.

We are not developers, we are game modders. The actual developers have access to the what ever they need via the game code they would not necessarily need access via sqf. Put in a request ticket see if you get any response.

There are lots of things that should be implemented, but aren't. A big part of this sub-forum is working around that
