How do I adjust trigger hieght

[Flat4ej20 10]

Only info I found was for OFP editor, but does not work. I have the trigger set to end the game when chopper1 flys over it, but want the trigger to activate only when copper1 has landed on this trigger. I have Helicopter pad named H1 in same location as this trigger. Condition this and ((getPos chopper1) select 0 - (getPos H1) select 0) > 0

you dont need "this" in the condition if you're specifying a condition.

it should be:

( (getPos chopper1 select 2) - (getPos H1 select 2) ) < 5;

"2" after getPos returns the height. You have it returning the x-coordinate, so it could be a mile up and still activate that trigger. I just put 5 in there because even if it's landed idk if that'll count as "0" elevation.

Then again... easiest way to do thing whole thing...

Place a trigger on the helipad, and in condition just put:

(!isEngineOn chopper1)

That will be "true" when the engine is turned off. :)

JDog, thanks for your help. I can now set trigger hieght, ie "1" elevation, "2" elevation. But when i try "0" elevation the games ends as soon as it starts. I have Axis a 0 & Axis b 0. Chopper1 is now were near trigger when game starts. "1" elevation is good enogh for me. Wish I can help others, but still new to bis editor.

You have both axes of the trigger set to 0? That would be awfully hard if not impossible to trigger I would imagine... never tried it.

Then again I'm not entirely understanding the problem now.

You don't want the axi to be 0. That means it can't fly through it because there is no physical space. At least thats how I think it works.

ok, i got it to work with (!isEngineOn copper1). But this map was going to be a pvp were each team retrives there sollen choppers and returns them to there base. So, if somebody turns off chopper1 engine than that triger ends game ?

Give the trigger an X and Y axis, group it to the vehicle (chopper) and choose 'vehicle' and 'present'. The this command will refer to the chopper being inside the trigger's radius.

Then, in the condition code you could use:

this && (!isEngineOn chopper1)

Which will mean the condition is only met once the chopper is inside the radius AND the engine is turned off.

Jakerod, I set Axis a & Axis b to 20, but game still ends as soon as it starts. I,ll keep trying untill I can get chopper1 to land on trigger without game ending as soon as it starts. I have the trigger set to ( (getPos chopper1 select 0) - (getPost H1 select 0) ) < 0; Axis a & Axis b 20. With this trigger the game ends as soon as it starts.

Got it to work with everyone's help here. TKS. Trigger Activation BLUFOR. Condition this && (!isEngineON chopper1) I can now fly a chopper pretty damn good after all the trigger / chopper testing LoL.
