Add Eventhandler to every spawned unit in a specific faction

[Moon_chilD 200]

Hey,
I want to have a Module in my mission that when its placed adds an eventhandler to every unit in a specific faction. So far that shouldn't be to hard, however what I don't manage to think of right now is, how do I make sure that even units placed by Zeus get this Eventhandler?

So the code should be something like this: 

if ((faction _unit) in _factionList) then {
 CODE TO ADD EVENTHANDLER
};

Does anyone have an idea how I could make it so that even units placed by Zeus that are in a faction found in _factionList get this eventhandler. 
If it helps: CBA is an option.

Thanks in advance
Moony

Hello there Moon_chilD !

 

This is an example on how to make your code work also with the spawned units , with an exlude list.

 

-add a unique Var (variable )

GF_ARL = { code , your eventhandler };

[] spawn {
	while {true} do {		
		{		
		if (
		((alive _x)) 
		&& (!(_x getVariable ["Var_GF_ARL",false])) 
		&& (!((typeOf _x) in GF_ARL_Exclude_List)) 
		
		/*
		//________________	You can filter the side here	________________	
		&& {((side group _x) == west || 
			(side group _x) == east || 
			(side group _x) == independent || 
			(side group _x) == civilian)}
		*/
		
		//	&& (side group _x == playerSide)
		//	&& (!(side group _x == playerSide))
		
		) then {
			
			_x spawn GF_ARL;
			
			};						
			_x setVariable ["Var_GF_ARL",true];
			{waitUntil {!alive _x};
			_x setVariable ["Var_GF_ARL",false];		 
			};
		}forEach allUnits;
		sleep 5;
	};
};

I thought of a while loop but I always forget that I can assign a Variable @.@

Thank you @GEORGE FLOROS GR

Just check if there is a MissionEventHandler available , instead of spawning the code :

to avoid the loops .

MCD_factionsList = [ /*...*/ ];

{
	//Add event to curator module for when an object is placed
	_x addEventHandler [ "CuratorObjectPlaced", {
		params[ "", "_object" ];
		
		if ( typeOf _object isKindOf "CAManBase" && { faction _object in MCD_factionsList } ) then {
			//CODE TO ADD EVENTHANDLER
		};
		
		//CuratorObjectPlaced does not fire for crewed units
		//If its a vehicle
		if ( _object in vehicles ) then {
			//Add event for each crew member
			{
				//CODE TO ADD EVENTHANDLER
			}forEach ( crew _object select { faction _x in MCD_factionsList } );
		};
	}];
}forEach allCurators;

Thanks Larrow !

 

This is only for the spawned units with zeus right ?

It's not also about the scripted spawns , is it ?

Correct.

[Moon_chilD 200]

Thank you aswell @Larrow. In my case though a universal approach was actually a good idea since I also wanted script spawned units to be affected. (Though I never knew there was a eventhandler for Zeus Spawned units, so....the more you know xD)
