:need some help

[frankie2spankie 0]

Ok, this is what i need

I want a condition which checks to see if a unit has fired a flare within a given area.

Tried a couple of things, such as got ammo...but the trigger is activated if the unit drops the flare.

Help purlease

urm, ok, i may be a bit rusty on OPF scripting, but here's my go:

have a trigger grouped to the player/person who is firing the falre, and have it set to Present, and in the On activatiopn box have this:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

a1 = true

;you can have a1 as anything else, its just a variable.

then, in the person to fire the flare's init line have this:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">this addeventhandler ["fired",{[_this select 1]exec "firedflare.sqs"}]

then in firedflare.sqs have this:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

?_this select 0 != "thenameoftheflarelauncher": exit

a2=true

;again, you can change a2 to something else.

In another trigger put:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

Condit:a1 && a2

OnActiv:blahblahblah etc. (the thing you want to happen)

This should work, iI hope it does.

You can also use the onflare scripts built into OFP, have a search from them.
