trigger for "whole group" doesnt work :(

[topeira 10]

hi again.

i tried linking a trigger to a squad of a few units and set the trigger to:

"whole group" when "not present" so i get the trigger to activate after every member of the group is dead but the result is always that the trigger is activated after the specific unit i liked the trigger to is dead. it's like i set it to "vehicle" but i didnt.

am i doing something wrong!?

Name the units and then in the condition for an empty trigger...

(!alive NAME_OF_UNIT) AND (!alive NAME_OF_UNIT) AND (!alive NAME_OF_UNIT)

etc... (replace the NAME_OF_UNIT to correspond with each of your named units). There might be a quicker way using group and triggers... but this way is the one I use.

hmmm. ok.... thanks

if my unit's names are 1, 2, 3 and 4

can't i just write in the conditions:

1 and 2 and 3 and 4

and in the trigger i set "not present"?

do i have to write it in brackets and type !alive?

I'm only a noob too. But if you want something that will work, copy that exactly, brackets, !alive... everything. One of the pros can probably give you a more streamlined version... but that works...

(!alive 1) AND (!alive 2) AND (!alive 3) AND (!alive 4) ...etc....

Edit: It basically means, if unit 1, 2, 3, and 4 are not(!) alive, then the trigger activates.

thanks, uzii :) how come if i write !alive than it refers to the unit's death?!

what if i want a trigger that is set-off if the unit is alive in it?

p.s. - uzi, what country are u from?

I'm from England, and ! means 'not' in scripting... I think. So !alive means when the unit is not alive, and alive by itself refers to the being alive.

(!alive 1) AND (!alive 2) AND (!alive 3) AND (!alive 4) ...etc.....

If you want that the whole group is dead, so use...

(count units NameGroup) <1

or

(count units NameGroup) == 0

Told you a pro would be along to give you a better one soon ;)

I just tested the "whole group" "not present" thing in the demo, and indeed it appears to be broken.

Imutep's variant is fine, but it will not be instant. There is a delay before the group is considered 'empty'.

{alive _x} count units NameGroup < 1
