Checking if units in trigger are of certain name..

[nullsystems 0]

Hi all,

Im just looking for a trigger to kill people when they enter it if they arent: civ1, civ2,civ3,civ4,civ5 etc.

I came up with this, it works but im concerned about lag. I dont think it will lag, but if I have a few of these running it might?

Could anyone come up with some tips or better solution?

Trigger

-------

Cond: Civilian, Present, Repeatedly.

OnAct: civis = thisList; [civis] exec "script.sqs"

Script.sqs

----------

Quote[/b] ]

? not local server: exit;

#start

_civis = _this select 0;

_select = 0;

_maxcount = count _civis

#count

unit=(_civis select _select)

hint format["%1",unit]

?(unit == civ1) : goto "next"

?(unit == civ2) : goto "next"

?(unit == civ3) : goto "next"

?(unit == civ4) : goto "next"

?(unit == civ5) : goto "next"

unit setdamage 1

#next

_select = _select + 1

~1

?_select<_maxcount:goto "count"

~0.5

goto "start"

exit

Use of command in and forEach should shorten the loop considerably:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">? not local server: exit;

_civis = _this select 0;

{?!(_x in [civ1, civ2, civ3, civ4, civ5]): _x setDamage 1;} forEach _civis

Untested, but it should work like this.

It produced an error:

|#|forEach, expected type string.

I presume but _civis is an array thats why there is an error.

But im still lost and testing

When I put:

{?!(_x in [civ1, civ2, civ3, civ4, civ5]): _x setDamage 1;} forEach thisList

Into the OnAct in trigger to test it produced the same error at forEach.

{?!(_x in [civ1, civ2, civ3, civ4, civ5]): _x setDamage 1;} forEach thisList

{if (!(_x in [civ1, civ2, civ3, civ4, civ5])) then {_x setDamage 1}} forEach thisList

Thanks for your reply.

That works perfectly if there are no civilians in the trigger area called civ1 - 5. However if they are, and you enter ( not bieng one of the numbers ) then it doesnt do anything.

Any ideas on how to get around this?
