Helo shot down trigger...help!

[pcpilot 0]

Perhaps you might be able to help with a problem Im having right now...I have a helo attacking a tank column. If the helo gets shot down, I want a simple report of that event. (It would be cool to have a camera show it happening too, but I'll worry about that later.) I tried a simple trigger with "west not present", and a text message saying the helo is shot down, but I had to keep the trigger area small and it didnt cover where the helo was taking off from so it would go off and show the text message before the helo had left. I then tried the "not alive" line in the init field but it doesnt seem to go off at all now. I also tried syncronizing the trigger with a helo waypoint. Maybe a crewman survived or the helo just flew off into space or something I dont know. It would be nice if just the destruction of the helo itself triggered the message, even if the crew survived. Any siggestions?

1.Create a trigger

2.In the condition field change 'this' with !alive nameofcopter

3.Put what you want in the activation field.

[ck-claw 1]

or try this;

name the chopper- helo1

create a trigger

in the condition put:- not (alive helo1)

it will not matter size of trigger cause it is fired linked to helo1

(note to the guy asking the question, the above 2 methods are the same, just 2 different coding langs)
