Trigger1 AND Trigger2 returns script error

[Gloopy 0]

Hello!

I have a problem with some triggers.

I have two triggers, they check (using GetDammage) if a weapons cache (Weapons US) has been blown up (below screenshot)

This is working OK as I am getting the obj complete message after destroying the ammo box.

Then I have another Trigger which checks to see if ammo1t and ammo2t are true and if so and if so it ends the mission. For this I am using in the condition field ammo1t AND ammo2t and getting an error of Error and: Type Object, expected Bool.

Screenshot of that trigger below

I'm sure it's quite simple and/or there's a better way to do it.

Any help much appreciated.

Write this as condition of the trigger:<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">!(alive ammo1 || alive ammo2)

ammo1t and ammo2t should be booleans. A boolean is either true or false.

It seems you have an object that you gave the name ammo1t or ammo2t. Or maybe you use the ammo1t or ammo2t variable elsewhere to point to an object. (Lol im so blind, just see that you named the trigger ammo1t / ammo2t)

Basicly:

[*] Make sure you use the right variables names and dont use the same variable name for different data types (boolean, object, string, array, etc )

[*] As Raedor pointed out, getdammage is not necessary, you can use  the alive function.

[*] If you want to end the mission when 2 ammo caches are destroyed (ammo1 and ammo2) the condition should be: !(alive ammo1) && !(alive ammo2)

[*] If you want to end the mission if 1 ammo cache is destroyed, doesnt matter which one, the condition should be: !(alive ammo1 && alive ammo2)

@ Raedor,  how does !(alive ammo1 || alive ammo2) work out? I believe this would end the game if 1 of the two conditions would become false, not only after both?

Hell yeah,

Thanks guys. I see the issue now.

Will this work with probability of presence. i.e if ammo1 doesn't spawn, it isn't alive so technically the trigger will check it off and when you blow up ammo2 you will still get the End#1 result from the trigger?

Thanks again!

np.

no I believe you will get an error because the alive function expects an object, and not a nil variable or any other data type.

You will have to work around this by scripting or by some specific setup of triggers and init fields etc, but I know very little about the editor, editor placed triggers and inits. Scripts all the way for me

Actually, Just out of my head, sth like:

trigger condition:

!(isNil "ammo1") && (your conditions)

this will only use the trigger if ammo1 object exists.

Cool,

I'll give it a shot.
