[SOLVED] Help with if then else syntax

[FireWalker 329]

I have a trigger that ends the mission when all playable units are down. I'm wondering if I can skip that trigger if I only have one playable unit in the game, that way if only one player is playing, that person could respawn.

 

I tried this:

 

if (blufor countSide allPlayers >1) then {

_trigger = createTrigger ["emptyDetector", [0,0,0]];
_trigger setTriggerStatements ["blufor countSide allPlayers <=0", "['end3'] call BIS_fnc_endMission",""];

} else exitWith {};

but the engine isn't happy with that. I think I'm close, but not quite there.  Maybe I need the exitWith {} in the beginning?   So it would be:  if (.... allPlayers = 1) then exitWith {} else...   

 

btw, the trigger works perfect by itself

 

Thanks,

Fire

 

 

Edit:

Just thinking about this. It would have to be looped to work correctly. For instance if you were playing on a server for a while and someone else joined, it would have to run again and return true for than one player. Maybe this should be a separate sqf that is called with initPlayerLocal, so that it runs every time a player joins?   In testing I had it in init.sqf.

You can use either if () exitWith or if () then {} else {}, but if () then {} else exitWith {} is not possible.

You can however always use if !() exitWith {}, or change your condition, or create a workaround Additonally "bluefor" is not a side. You have to use west, east, independent, civilian, enemy. That should do what you want:

call {
	if (west countSide allPlayers isEqualTo 1) exitWith {};
	_trigger = createTrigger ["emptyDetector", [0,0,0]];
	_trigger setTriggerStatements ["west countSide allPlayers isEqualTo 0", "['end3'] call BIS_fnc_endMission",""];
};

This will only create the trigger if more (or less) than 1 player is in the mission.

Thank you, I definitely had it all crossed up. Really appreciate the help.

Although more performant would be to just:

if !(west countSide allPlayers isEqualTo 1) then {
	_trigger = createTrigger ["emptyDetector", [0,0,0]];
	_trigger setTriggerStatements ["west countSide allPlayers isEqualTo 0", "['end3'] call BIS_fnc_endMission",""];
};

I figure about the time that I start to get a really good grasp of scripting in this language that 4 will be out with a whole new engine and a whole new scripting language...

 

But I learn a little more everyday.
