Mapfact tripwire flare

[shadow 6]

I'm using some addon from Mapfact in a mission.

Don't ask me which pack it is because I simply don't know (it's part of my clan's server addon-pack). So I don't have a readme for it either.

I'm using Mapfact Objects-> Mine\Flare mine.

Is there any way to detect when a tripwire has been triggered?

Would be useful so I can send a patrol over to the area to investigate.

Inflamed does'nt work with this addon.

Thanks

Unfortunately not. AI won't detect the light, only humans. The most you can do with that flare trap is use it for a mission where you detect where the enemy is coming from or use it to scare the player into thinking the ai might respond to the flare, but in actuality i don't see any way they can detect it on their own.

I know the AI does'nt see the flare itself. I'm just wondering if I can get the tripwire addon to return a boolean expression so I can script the rest.

Maybe you can work with the onflare.sqs

Don't give up. I need this script too.

You could also take the script that is used by the tripwire.

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">? !(local player):exit

_Mess = "HeliHEmpty" CreateVehicle [0,0]

_L1 =(_this select 0)

_D = getdir _L1

_R = 0

#Zut

~0.0001

? _R == 1 : _W = _D + 90;_R = 0;goto "Weiter"

? _R == 0 : _W = _D - 90;_R = 1;goto "Weiter"

#weiter

_X = (getpos _L1 select 0)

_Y = (getpos _L1 select 1)

_Z = (getpos _L1 select 2)

_J = nearestobject [_X+ (sin _W * 4),_Y+(cos _W * 4),_Z]

_Mess setpos [_X+ (sin _W * 4),_Y+(cos _W * 4),_Z]

? ((_J distance _L1) + (_J distance _Mess)) < 4.5 and _J != _L1 and Speed _J > 0 or getdammage _L1 > 0 or _L1 animationPhase "aus" > 0 :goto "Ende"

? _L1 animationPhase "Leucht_Mine" == 1 :goto "Warten"

goto "Zut"

#Warten

@ _L1 animationPhase "Leucht_Mine" == 0 or not alive _L1

_L1 setdammage 0

? not alive _L1:exit

goto "Zut"

#Ende

deletevehicle _Mess

;write here what you want when the tripwire was activated

activate the script with the name of the mine:

[mine] exec "script.sqs"

Did you try this:

Name the mine (mine1); set a trigger: radius 0, Condition: <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">not alive mine1

On Activation: ...

This worked fine for me in a SP-Mission, but i've no idea if this will work in MP, too.

very nice boys. Good for an assault mission of a heavily fortified fortress. those are my favorite types of missions.

Never thought of that.

Thanks

If it works in SP it works in MP.

You are welcome  

btw: This should work for all types of JörgF's nice mines. Just too bad, that the Claymores get a little bit laggy when they explode
