HELP problem with waitUntil returns nil

[Spriterfight 10]

_grp = _this select 0;
_grp allowFleeing 0;
_units1 = units _grp;


{
_x addEventHandler ["Fired", {
	params ["_unit", "_weapon", "_muzzle", "_mode", "_ammo", "_magazine", "_projectile", "_gunner"];

_unit = _this select 0;
_ubitcount = (count (units group _unit));
_reloadcheck = {needReload _x == 1} count _units1 = unit _grp;
;

waitUntil {{needReload _x == 1} count _unitcount == 2};


}];
} forEach _units1;

I have this code and the waituntil returns nil or unexppected behaviour.The script is called via execVM in the group is init.I want the sxript to waitauntil every unit from a group fired its ammunition from the loaded magazine

[phronk 898]

waitUntil has to be spawned, not called. Just wrap it in a spawned scope and it might fix it.

 

Also, instead of a fired EH, just spawn this code:

 

 

[_grp,_units1]spawn{

params["_grp","_units1"];

 

waitUntil{(_units1 select{ammo _x==0})isEqualTo _units1};

 

hint"We aint gotz no bullets, boss!";

};

The fired EH is important for the script.

[phronk 898]

Spawning a waitUntil in a Fired EH will create a new loop for every shot fired which will destroy FPS and eventually crash the game. Change the waitUntil inside your fired EH to:

 

 

if((ammo(_this#0)==0)then{

 

_units1=units(group(_this#0));

_grp=group(_this#0);

 

 

if(_units1 select{ammo _x==0})isEqualTo _units1)then{

hint"Everyone is outta shootie things";};

};

@Spriterfight,

Spoiler

_ubitcount = (count (units group _unit));

_unitCount is undefined

Have fun!

Spelling mistake.

 

17 hours ago, Spriterfight said:

_reloadcheck = {needReload _x == 1} count _units1 = unit _grp;

_units1 is undefined inside the EH.

 

17 hours ago, Spriterfight said:

count _units1 = unit _grp;

Should be == comparison. unit is not a command. _grp is undefined inside EH

waitUntil {{needReload _x == 1} count _unitcount == 2};

You cannot wait inside an EH as the code is unscheduled.

@Spriterfight,
Edited as per Larrow's suggestions,
 

Spoiler

_grp = _this select 0;
_grp allowFleeing 0;

{
_x addEventHandler ["Fired", {
	params ["_unit"];

_unit = _this select 0;
_grp = group (_this select 0);
_unitcount = (count (units _grp));
_reloadcheck = {needReload _x == 1} count _units1 == unit _grp;

[_reloadCheck, _unitCount] spawn {
		waitUntil {sleep 1; {(_this select 0) _x == 1} count (_this select 1) == 2};
		};
	}];
} forEach units _grp;

still untested.

Have fun!

Hi it works.BTW  i have another problem the trigger wont work with this code 

({alive _x} count units t1) == ({_x in thisList} count units t1)

it only works if i kill the groupmembers  i dont know what is the problem with the trigger 

[Larrow 2822]

Really the OP needs to be specific on what they are trying to accomplish.

Lets say there are two AI in the group, each only having one 30 round mag, By the time the last bullet is fired from any one of the units, you would end up with 60 scheduled threads being held open( waitUntil ). One for each time they fired a round.

 

Also when does a unit get flagged as neededReload? Immediately as the last round is fired? If not then all the threads are going to remain open, indefinitely. All depends on what the 2 is? the number of units in the group or just 2 out of a number of units in the whole group.

Hi. This is separate from the main topic.My triggers wont work if i set them on none.I am concerned that the game is broken but do the triggers have to set on something like blufor or opfor to activate like if my player is t1 and i set the trigger to detect if the player is in the triggerarea. with t1 in this List but my trigger wont activate if its set on none but if i set it on blufor it activates.Why?

Which is more likely, that the RV engine or SQF is broken, or that you are doing something wrong?

Umm i used profilenamespace but nothing more that changes something in the files.But such a simple condition like player in thisList; dosen't activates the trigger.I have never had such an experience with arma.Yesterday i was working on a script and i discovered that when my units had not activated the trigger when they were in the trigger area.

[Harzach 2518]

You are leaving out so much information it's difficult to know where to start. Create a simple repro mission and share it.

here it is, lets see if it works for you

[wogz187 1086]

@Spriterfight,
The trigger in your scene does not work as expected. There's nothing to activate it.

[Spriterfight 10]

I wrote hint "work"; in the activation field

You did. I noticed that. It didn't "work" though. We knew it wouldn't work  because there is no activation for the trigger. Technically the trigger is working exactly as it's supposed to.

[Spriterfight 10]

So what i have to do to work as intended?what i have to change?

Btw so the hint didnt show up for you?

We still don't know what the intended usage is. But to make that trigger work you need to change the Activation field to something either than "none". Then, in the Condition field start with: this

Have fun!

Yesterday i was working on a mission where the trigger executes a script on a group if the group members are in the trigger area but i noticed when all of them entered nothing happened

I changed on activation hint "works"; player setDamage 1; and if i set the activation to blufor the trigger works but if i chage it to none it dosent.However on the other script it works with none.Why i have to chage it to blufor?Dosent it should work on none because i set the activaiton in the condiiton what is player in thisList

[Spriterfight 10]

I have to set the activation for a trigger?even if it is defined in the expression field?
