activate trigger when you are laser designating an editor placed object

[kvntvan 13]

Hi there I'm trying to make a recon operation where BLUFOR has to locate several OPFOR camps hidden in a valley with a laser designator. I've got a few solutions working like this one

 

isServer and count (allMissionObjects "LaserTargetW") > 0

but it doesn't work quite the way i'd like. i have 3 separate tasks for lasing 3 separate camps and the code above activates all tasks at once once i've lased  "> 0" units. Is there anyways to make the trigger activate when i'm looking at a specific object or area/map coordinates?

currentWeapon player == "laserDesignator" && { !isNull laserTarget player && { position laserTarget player distance position YourCampPos < 10 } }

Where YourCampPos is an object at the center of your camp and will be true if the player designates within 10 meters of it.

OP pm'd me to ask for some code.  I gave this to him and asked him to post up here if it worked or let me know if it didn't.

 

I haven't heard from him so here's what I sent him anyway in case anyone else finds it useful.

 

// init.sqf or initPlayerLocal.sqf

if (hasInterface) then {
    tag_objectsWeNeedToFind = [object1,object2,object3];
    0 spawn {
        waitUntil {time > 0};
        onEachFrame {
            // quit if already detected
            if (not isNil "tag_stopLooking") exitWith {
                onEachFrame {}
            };
            // check what you are looking at
            private _ins = lineIntersectsSurfaces [
                AGLToASL positionCameraToWorld [0,0,0],
                AGLToASL positionCameraToWorld [0,0,1000],
                player
            ];
            // no intersection
            if (count _ins == 0) exitWith {};
            // if detected then tell everyone else to stop looking
            private _obj = _ins select 0 select 3;
            private _objs = missionNamespace getVariable ["tag_objectsWeFound",[]];
            if (_obj in tag_objectsWeNeedToFind
                and {not (_obj in _objs)}
            ) then {
                _objs pushBackUnique _obj;
                missionNamespace setVariable ["tag_objectsWeFound",_objs,true];
                if (count _objs == count tag_objectsWeNeedToFind) then {
                    // found everything
                    tag_stopLooking = true;
                    publicVariable "tag_stopLooking";
                    // your code here.....
                }
            }
        }
    }
};
