Check if any crew is alive.

[tophe 69]

I have this statement on a vehicle:

if ((getDammage _unit > 0.1) and (count crew _unit == 0)) then {doStuff};

That will have the script doStuff when the vehicle is damaged and empty.

But if the crew is killed and left inside the vehicle this won't return the true-value. Since dead crew still counts as crew.

So what I need is something like this:

if ((getDammage _unit > 0.1) and (count [b]alive [/b]crew _unit == 0)) then {doStuff};

I hope you know what I'm after. Any ideas on the syntax for such a statement?

This should do the job.:

if ((getDammage _unit > 0.1) and ("alive _x" count crew _unit == 0)) then {doStuff};

So try this:

if ((getDammage _unit > 0.1) and ([b]{[/b]alive _x[b]}[/b] count crew _unit == 0)) then {doStuff};

btw:

What about an EventHandler "HIT" or "DAMAGE" to run your doStuff? Only an idea... :rolleyes:

Thanks guys! I'll try these settings.

I try to stay away from eventhandlers in this script. To make it as easy as possible to setup for any user. I only want the user having to execute the script on a unit, nothing more. If I went to eventhandlers I also would have to rewrite the whole script, since it checks for all kinds of things, not only damage and crew.
