wokstation 0 Posted September 4, 2007 First up, greetings! First post, recently got ArmA and the very first thing I did? Opened the editor. It's a curse - I always do that with every game. So I'm pottering about and have created a little scenario, but I'm in need of help. There's a tank, it's surrounded by soldiers including AA specialists. The AA-S guys need to die before the A-10 tank-buster comes in and takes out the tank, and this is where I'm having trouble. In the unit creation properties in the editor, there's a field called "Condition of presence" (or similar). I've spent hours trying to make this work on the fly - ie, once the AA-S guys are dead a value gets set to true and the Condition field reads it and spawns the unit. I'm getting the idea that I've misunderstood this field, despite having read several wiki's, that big ol' sticky thread with so much information it's bewildering and battered away at my keyboard in a desperate attempt to make it do what I want - spawn the A-10 when the AA-S troops have been removed. It's not going to do it, is it? Am I right in thinking that field is only parsed at the start of the mission, along with the init fields? Do I therefore have to delve into the horrors of scripting (hey, it's a horror to me - I've not touched a script yet except using "this setDamage 1" to blow stuff up at the start) and try and spawn a unit that way? ...if so... help? My experience level with this code is 0. My experience level with any code is pretty darn low (I never really progressed past QBasic), so feel free to teach me to suck eggs if it's neccesary. I really would be appreciative of any help (PS: dumb question of the year, where the heck's the screenshot key hiding?) *edit* Oh would you look at that? I managed to post it in the wrong forum Time to find a mod... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
