How would you go about

[Stag 0]

Setting up a trigger where any unit which enters the trigger area will perform a given action; eg, go to the bathroom, any unit flush the toilet?

Thanks in advance.

Set up the trigger to be activated by anybody and present, and set it to run repeatedly. Name your trigger something, like trg0001a, then write this in the on activation line:

"_x switchmove poop" foreach units in list trg0001a

Is that an actual switchmove?

Thanks for the assist Toadeater. Tried that line, but getting the error:

unknown operator list.

That line of code was wrong, if you use the following code it will save you from naming the trigger:

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">"_x setBehaviour {SAFE}" foreach thislist<span id='postcolor'>

Great

but how do you make it work with addaction?

I want anyone in a small radius to be able to do the action 'steal radio'

I have trigger set up as above,

I tried putting

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">"beacon = _x addaction ["steal beacon","stolen.sqs"]" foreach thislist<span id='postcolor'>

and </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">"_x addaction ["steal beacon","stolen.sqs"]" foreach thislist<span id='postcolor'>

in its activation but it gives me an error 'unknown operator steal'

EVEN THOUGH steal is in quote marks.

stupid thing.

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">"_x addaction [{steal beacon},{stolen.sqs}]" foreach thislist<span id='postcolor'>

That should work.

I don't get it, why didn't "in list" work? I've always used it that way in triggers. Besides not needing to name the trigger, what's the difference?

Mr. T, all I can say is that when I cut and pasted the line you gave me I got the error message I posted about previously.

Maybe I entered something wrong, but the jobs done now using Red's offering and I'm flushed with success.

You only use the “in list†command when you want to check if a unit or units are in an array that trigger has given, in the case that wardog had the in command was not needed.

And for using the thislist command, there is no real need of doing it other than saving a bit of time.
