Mission failed if 5 (or more) buddies die

[kityatyi 1]

Hello!

Noob here - could you please let me know how to trigger a "Mission Failed " if 5 or more units in my group die? 

I have a simple SP scenario where I am part of an 8 strong BLUFOR squad (I am not the Team Leader, if it matters) trying to secure a compound full of CSAT soldiers. I would like to have the mission failed if five or more soldiers from my squad are dead. Please let me know what is the easiest way to achieve this, what code should I write and where?

Thank you in advance!

//init.sqf:
killedCounter = 0;
{
  _x addEventHandler ["Killed", {
      killedCounter = killedCounter + 1;
      if (killedCounter > 4) then {
          ["fail1", false, true, true, false] spawn BIS_fnc_endMission;
      };
  }];
} forEach (units (group player);

//description.ext:
class CfgDebriefing {  
	class fail1 {
		title = "Mission failed";
		subtitle = "5 or more of your teammates died";
		description = "The mission failed because 5 or more of your teammates died.";
	};
};

Put that code in those files in your mission.  If those files don't exist yet make them. (Untested but it should work, there might be a small syntax error somewhere, been doing too much java)

Thank you very much, will give it a try!

The following error message came up when starting the mission.

Yea, no I can't blame that one on java. Add another ')' behind the one you see on that line so it'll become:

Spoiler

//init.sqf:
killedCounter = 0;
{
  _x addEventHandler ["Killed", {
      killedCounter = killedCounter + 1;
      if (killedCounter > 4) then {
          ["fail1", false, true, true, false] spawn BIS_fnc_endMission;
      };
  }];
} forEach (units (group player));

//description.ext:
class CfgDebriefing {  
	class fail1 {
		title = "Mission failed";
		subtitle = "5 or more of your teammates died";
		description = "The mission failed because 5 or more of your teammates died.";
	};
};

Figured out myself too, shouldn't have bothered you with this, the error message basically tells what was the issue. Thank you very much once again, the mission launched perfectly now, let's see how it's dealing with the dead count. :-)
