Delete "type" of things that are "x" distance

[kocrachon 2]

Hello All,

I am trying to create either a trigger or script, that if a type of item is close enough, it will get deleted.

Specifically, I am trying to make it so if I drag "ACE_bodyBagObject" of which there are 5, to a vehicle named "RecoveryVeh", I want it to delete the body bag (to simulate it being put into the recovery truck). Anyone able to assist with this?

I tried if ((distance <= 7 and (typeOf ACE_bodyBagObject)) in a trigger, but I just get various errors, so I assume I am on a very bad path to start.

You bet. The good way to start would be with learning about commands you want to use and their syntax:

I think my biggest issue is syntax.

I use this in the "condition" field

(distance <= 7) and (typeOf ACE_bodyBagObject)

But it tells me and: Type String, expected Book,code

But that doesnt seem to make sense to me. I feel like I am using "and" in the appropriate way...

If you'd read the actual script error (-showscripterrors or check your log), you'll see that your typeof condition is not a true test.

Look up what "typeof" returns, it's in the link KK gave you (look for the "return value"). It's not a boolean. A condition always must return a boolean. So either modify it so it can actually work (e.g. typeOf bodybag == "Whatever") or use something that actually fits your use case, such as
