Trigger question need help

[cb65 85]

Hello,

I've got a trigger question, I'm using this code in the condition of the trigger.

(({_x in thisList} count allUnits > 0) or ((damage %1) > 0.1))

This works perfectly if a unit walks into the trigger area but if he drives through in a vehicle the trigger wont work.

I tried.

objArray = allUnits + vehicles.

and put this in the trigger condition area instead of allUnits.

({_x in thisList} count _objArray > 0)

but didn't work.

 

Can anyone tell me how to set off the trigger with a vehicle in play ?

thisList concerns vehicles and infantry matching the preset condition (like Blufor present). The fact is the array is made of vehicles and infantry units but not crews.

 

On the other hand, allUnits is an array of units, not vehicles, so your condition can be wrong (I don't know what you want to do).

damage %1 ??? has no sense.

objArray vs _objArray ???

 

If you want more help, describe what you want to do. Your code is wrong at multiple points.

Here's my script it's for my ied's mod, works fine with infantry units but if the units driving a vehicle the trigger wont fire.

Your script??

 

_activate = format ["(({_x in thisList} count allUnits > 0) or ((damage %1) > 0.1))",_name];

 

if I'm right, matches for 2 conditions:

damage IED > 0.1 (not sure that works in MP because setVehicleVarName is EL  perhaps you should remoteExec this command)

and

({_x in thisList} count allUnits > 0) is a filter for infantry. If you don't like it, just remove it!... More exactly, as "Anybody present" is tracking also crates, rabbits and funny things,

replace it by:

({driver _x iskindOf "CAManBase"} count thisList > 0)

I replaced it like this.

_activate = format ["(({driver _x iskindOf "CAManBase"} count thisList > 0) or ((damage %1) > 0.1))",_name];

And it gives me a script error message format type string expected array.

You have a string inside of a string. The inner string needs single quotes:

_activate = format ["(({driver _x iskindOf 'CAManBase'} count thisList > 0) or ((damage %1) > 0.1))",_name];

Thanks Harzach I missed that.

 

The trigger is working now thanks guys. now I've just got to check if this part of the code ((damage %1) > 0.1) works in MP.
