Triggers!

[thedubl 43]

Here is my issue. My trigger does not fire for spawned objects. When I place 4 units on the map and name them mort1,mort2,mort3,mort4 the trigger(2D in editor) condition of {alive _x} count [mort1,mort2,mort3,mort4] == 0 works fine when all are killed. Trigger fires all is well. Now I am trying to make the mission have play ability. So, I putting together multiple spawn locations to be selected randomly. Nothing special. I set the name using setVehicleVarName. However, when the spawn units are killed the trigger ingnores them. I am assuming I am doing something wrong with setting the name. Any idea?

sleep 3;

//array position pool
_arrPos = [[1821.16,5763.11]] call BIS_fnc_selectRandom;


//select the pos from the array
_pos = _arrpos;

sleep 1;

//creates team
_grp = createGroup east;

_s1 = createVehicle ["O_Soldier_LAT_F", _pos , [], 0, "NONE"];
_s1 setVehicleVarName "mort1"; mort1 = _s1;

_s2 = createVehicle ["O_Soldier_LAT_F", _pos , [], 0, "NONE"];
_s2 setVehicleVarName "mort2"; mort2 = _s2;

_s3 = createVehicle ["O_Soldier_LAT_F", _pos , [], 0, "NONE"];
_s3 setVehicleVarName "mort3"; mort3 = _s3;

_s4 = createVehicle ["O_Soldier_LAT_F", _pos , [], 0, "NONE"];
_s4 setVehicleVarName "mort4"; mort4 = _s4;

OH MY GOD! I should have waited 5 more minutes before posting! After, reading a bit more on the wiki. Set identity is what I should be using. Hopefully it helps someone else save some time!

 

example:

 

_s1 setIdentity "mort1";

Ugh, well I did not realize my original unit was still sync. If I spawn a  unit do I have to use triggerAttachVehicle ?

 

Oh, the mission was loading before the guys were spawned because I had a sleep in the script. So the trigger was thinking the condition was true. I am certainly learning a lot about triggers.

if you conditioning  count of  units, when some of them could be already killed the best way is to count units of group.
