TURCO_AR 5 Posted March 15, 2017 Hi! I'm starting using the Eden editor to learn how to create a simple mission for multiplayer. Just to start learning about creating mission. I'm stuck with a trigger/condition situation. I have two teams, ALFA (5 units) and BRAVO (6 units) with their own objectives. What I want is that when ALFA completes its objective (kill a bad guy) a hint says "Good Job! Move to extraction point". Show it only to the units of ALFA team, not for BRAVO. I put in the init of the ALFA leader: ALFA = group this. In the trigger condition tried with ALFA in thisList, but nothing happened. Some charitable soul who can give me a hand.

Midnighters 152 Posted March 15, 2017 if(!alive enemyunit1) then { {hint "Good job, move to the next objective!"; } forEach (units ALFA); }; this should work well. This may not be the best way to do so though, hopefully someone else gets to see this and throw their ideas in as well. But this should be local to each unit in the group.

Add a check like this, then it will: if (player in units ALFA) then {hint "something something hint"}; Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am glad it works, however, I would like to know does it only appear to Alpha units or do all players online see it. Because i tried something similar in which i wanted only a person who activates the trigger to see the hint but got surprised when other people saw it too.

I'm trying to build good practices. what's the difference from it to : if (player in units ALFA) then {hint "something something hint"}; Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grumpy Old Man 3545 Posted March 17, 2017 Just now, Midnighters said: hey @Grumpy Old Man can you clear up as to why this wouldn't work? I'm trying to build good practices. what's the difference from it to : if (player in units ALFA) then {hint "something something hint"}; if(!alive enemyunit1) then { {hint "Good job, move to the next objective!"; } forEach (units ALFA); }; Will execute the hint n times if the enemy is dead, n is the amount of units in the ALFA group. Depending on where the statement is called, it will run on every client and server. The player variable is different on every client, checking if the player is inside the group ALFA will only display the hint for players that are in the ALFA group, pretty basic actually. If you run my check on the server then only the host will see the hint, if he's in the ALFA group. On dedicated servers the player is null, so you'd need to call this function remotely on every client in that case. Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I knew it had to do something with executing multiple times on the wrong players. Thanks for this, appreciate it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
