Reporting when mines placed

[december 0]

Any way to detect if a mine has been placed in a particular spot?

I want an objective to be true when a player places a mine on a certain section of a road.

Any ideas?

Try one of these:

SQF format:

Quote[/b] ]

// set position and radius of the area you want to monitor

_position = getpos invisiblehelipad;

_radius = 10;

while{count(nearestObjects [_position, ["Mine","MineE"], _radius]) <= 0}

do

{

sleep 0.5;

};

// when the script gets here, a mine has been found

SQS format:

Quote[/b] ]

; set position and radius of the area you want to monitor

_position = getpos invisiblehelipad

_radius = 10

#searchmine

?(count(nearestObjects [_position, ["Mine","MineE"], _radius]) > 0): goto "end"

~0.5

goto "searchmine"

#end

; when the script gets here, a mine has been found

Change the _position and _radius variables to your liking.

These look for both the WEST and EAST mine. You can alter the array in the loop to just cover one of the mine types.

You can also you the fired event handler. It's triggered when you Put a weapon like a satchel charge or land mine.

Using nearestobject in a loop can be processor heavy, so if it's a busy mission it might be better to avoid it.

Try adding this line to a soldiers init field in the editor:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">This AddEventHandler ["fired",{Hint Format ["Script Params %1",_This]}]

All you would need is a script that’s launched from the event, that checks for the Mine and gets the position of the unit laying it.
