Calling a script from a script through a scripted trigger.

[3l0ckad3 17]

I normally don't have issues with scripting triggers, so, I think this one is out of my grasp.

Basically, I'm trying to merge two scripts together to get a better particle effect.

So, I have Phronk's random IED script, and I'm tryin' to call ALIAS script from Phronk's script, but I don't want to lose the params..
I tried to call it from his triggers, but to no avail..

1st I ran it right after the triggers just to see what would happen, and it goes off right when I spawn, then I tried running it from the triggers, and it just kept spitting out errors..

Thnx for any help.



ied.sqf

iedMkr=["iedMkr0","iedMkr1","iedMkr2"];	//List of markers to spawn IEDs in
iedNum=5;								//Number of IEDs per marker, defined in iedMkr	[Default: 5]
iedDmg=false;							//Can the IED be killed with weapons?			[Default: false] TRUE = Yes | FALSE = Can only be disarmed
Dbug=true;								//Show IED markers on map?						[Default: false]

		iedMkrs pushBack _mkr;};
	};
}forEach iedMkr;
sleep 5;
{CIVILIAN revealMine _x;EAST revealMine _x;}forEach allMines;

The block I'm trying to add.

null = [_ied,20, true, true] execVM "AL_bomb\alias_bomb_ini.sqf";

That's because _ied (local variable) is undefined inside the trigger statement;

 

Replace the (too heavy) code:

if(isMultiplayer)then{ _trig setTriggerStatements[ "{vehicle _x in thisList && speed vehicle _x>4}count playableUnits>0", "{if((typeOf _x)in iedAmmo)then{[_x]call iedAct;};}forEach nearestObjects[thisTrigger,[],10];", "deleteVehicle thisTrigger"];}else{ _trig setTriggerStatements[ "{vehicle _x in thisList && isPlayer vehicle _x && speed vehicle _x>4}count allUnits>0", "{if((typeOf _x)in iedAmmo)then{[_x]call iedAct;};}forEach nearestObjects[thisTrigger,[],10];", "deleteVehicle thisTrigger"];};

 

Note: Here the condition isMultiplayer can be easily removed.

 

by:

_trig setTriggerStatements [

  "{vehicle _x in thisList &&  && speed vehicle _x>4}count allPlayers >0",

  "{if(typeOf _x in iedAmmo)then{ [_x,20, true, true] execVM "AL_bomb\alias_bomb_ini.sqf"; [_x]call iedAct } }forEach nearestObjects[thisTrigger,[],10] ",

  "deleteVehicle thisTrigger"

];

 

(not tested)
EDITED: execVm Alias code before the called iedAct. This way you will not wait for a iedAct completion.

Not getting errors now, but nothing is spawning either 😕
