Trigger assigned !

[[lol]clan killer bee 1]

Ello  !

I have a question about a part of script !

I was looking to a mission htat had this script in it  !

Quote[/b] ]mi24 DoTarget boat2; mi24 DoFire boat2

This seemed to work nicely.

Now I want to make a trigger that can be hooked to a mgpost (press F2 and hooked the trigger to the mgpost )

I'm not a hero in scripting but I kindda came up with this

Quote[/b] ]_gunner DoTarget _x; _gunner DoFire _x

This seems not to give the result like I would like to see.

I also tried to give it a name like this

Quote[/b] ]mg1 DoTarget _x; mg1 DoFire _x

this give also errors  !

I think I need to do something with breakets, ubt have no idea is there someone wh ocan help me a hand !

Thanks !

Hi,

I take it you want the MG to fire at every valid target in the Trigger?

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

_Trigger=_This Select 1

_Gunner=Gunner _MGPost

{_Gunner DoTarget _x; _Gunner DoFire _x} ForEach (List _Trigger)

Although you might be able to leave it to OFP to decide the best target:

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

_Trigger=_This Select 1

_Gunner=Gunner _MGPost

{_Gunner Reveal _x} ForEach (List _Trigger)

If you notice the trigger is assigned to the MG post using the script. I think the F2 mission editor option will just make the trigger detect the squad it's been assigned to. Which you don't want in this case.

Don't I have to specify the list where the script is refering too ?

hmm so I should make a .sqs file put in the script and activated it by putting in the mg initfield

Quote[/b] ]this exec "fire.sqs";

?

Or do I miss the point now ?

You should call the script like

[_mgunname, _triggername] exec "fire.sqs".

Bee,

Another more simple way of doing this.

In the on activation for the trigger put:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">{mg1 reveal _x} forEach thisList

or:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">{(gunner mg1) reveal _x} forEach thisList

Not sure which works better. It should not make a difference. No script required!

why not go the whole hog

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">{mg1 reveal _x} forEach thisList;{mg1 DoFire _x} forEach thisList

and repeat trigger. if ya let him decide tho he will scan have a look and go safe, unless they fire at him.

I love you guys this is working great thanks Peanut and Deano's !

Is this script only for teh mg or can you use this in more stuff like  a mi24 or a zu 23-2 rebel AA ?

Yep it works, I had problems with it but that was because I hate my man on SetCaptive

Now it works fine !
