Correct Syntax

[RizlaUK 4]

Hi,

 

I'm trying to add a command to a trigger condition in the 2d editor but can't seem to get the syntax correct, can anybody help with this please?

 

This is what i'm trying to add to prevent air vehicles activating my alarm trigger count (thisList unitsBelowHeight 2) > 0

at the moment i just have alarmToggle; in the condition box. I've tried count (thisList unitsBelowHeight 2) > 0; alarmToggle;

I'm not too good with this so any help would be great.

 

Regards

Maybe instead of

 

 

count (thisList unitsBelowHeight 2) > 0; alarmToggle;

 

try

count (thisList unitsBelowHeight 2) > 0 && alarmToggle

The syntax errors are gone, but now the alarm doesn't sound when Opfor are within the trigger area.

alarmToggle should be true for trigger to detect and false for trigger to not to detect. Most efficient expression in this case would be:

 

 

 alarmToggle && {count (thisList unitsBelowHeight 2) > 0}

 

This way, right part of the expression will not be evaluated at all if alarmToggle is false

I got the alarm triggers from an example mission and they are setup as below;

 

1. named trgAlarm type=none, activation=none, repeatedly, present, condition=alarmToggle && {count (thisList unitsBelowHeight 2) > 0};

2. type=none, activation=Opfor, repeatedly, present, condition=this,      on acc=alarmToggle = true; publicVariable "alarmToggle";

3. type=none, activation=Opfor, repeatedly, not present, condition=this,      on acc=alarmToggle = false; publicVariable "alarmToggle";

 

If i have alarmToggle; in the condition box of the first trigger, the alarm activates but air vehicles also set it off.

this is not going to work because thisList will always be empty for the first trigger, as you set it to detect nothing. make 1 trigger, instead of 3. set it to detect opfor repeatedly and for condition write:

this && {count (thisList unitsBelowHeight 2) >0}

Thanks killzone_kid - that works perfectly now.
