Trigger without airunits

[PhilippRauch 0]

hi!

I just took the sectorcontrol mission from bis and plucked it apart for my own sectrocontrol thingy... now i want the triggers only be activated by landunits.. so even when you arrive in a helicopter you have to put your feet on the ground first...

i want to prevent that you can fly across the map and get all sectors in a few minutes... i want the players to really control the sectors by being there on the ground...

i think i have to do something with the " on activation " field ..

any suggestions?

Hi,

try something like whatever your condition right now is + the following:

I.E.:

Trigger

Size: whatever

Value: Present

Activation: West

type: switch

Condition: {_x getpos 2 < 2 } foreach thislist

On Activation: hint "West on ground"

you could make same for East or add something too the condition by a simple "and"

Condition: {_x getpos 2 < 2 } foreach thislist and SectorAhold

I know that there is at least 3 valid ways to do as you want it, i just posted one, hope that helped.

thanks for the answer Hit_Sqd_Day(Daywalker?)...

sorry i forgot to post my trigger..

activation is present, repeatedly by each side (i.e. one trigger for east and one for west at each sector)

condition: this

on activation: w=1 (or e=0)

on deactivation: w=0 (or e=0)

unfortunately your idea doestn work (error: type nothing expecting bool)..

i should check for the height position of each unit?...

but... the sectors are for example, around bridges...

the bridge itself is about 23m .. this brings up a conflict inside my brain ;) ... when i check if units are below 2m, then i will never get the trigger to fire... or? am i somewhat off track with that thought?

...

maybe if there is a way to check for the vehicle type...

all types of units including man but excluding air should fire the trigger...

somewhere in someplace inside my brain i have some faint idea... but its not there yet...

if you have some other suggestions.. please tell me

just name your air vehicles and exclude them from the trigger activation.

example:

OnActivation: this and not((Plane1) in Thislist)

(not sure if it's the right syntax, i didn't use it for a long time)

Yeah that's because the syntax is incorrect;

{getpos _x select 2 < 2} count thislist > 0

should be the right one (if not i'll be back later again - just

being awaken)

This trigger wouldn't go off in case:

A non air unit + plane1 are inside the trigger area at the same

time.

WOOAH!

Yep, thats it... i was fumbling around with a check for vehicle.. but this is even easier...

still, when the chopper lands, it will get the sector, but this is ok...

i wanted this condition because i use the SP/MP supportpack for respawn and resupply.. and each time you called them they captured some sectors...

now its perfect... thanks alot to all and even more to DV Chris Death

peace!

You can use condition that counts only with land units:

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

or with soldiers only:

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

Anyways, good to see you got it:)

hehe.. dont be sorry... gave me opportunities to learn more of those "obscure" syntax/commands... ;)

i will use the getpos version, for some other nice things for sure...

thanks again to all!
