Create end trigger not working

[RonnieJ 10]

hey guys... I cant seem to get this working... tried with:

_trg = createTrigger["end1",getPos player];

_trg setTriggerArea[0,0,0,false];

_trg setTriggerStatements["this","!alive maintarget", ""];

_trg setTriggerType "END1";

But it wont work...:confused:

Might want to recheck this one:

_trg setTriggerStatements["this","!alive maintarget", ""];

[RonnieJ 10]

ye im not completly sure of the syntax but thats how far ive gotten with it :) The target does exist..

_Radar = createVehicle ["RU_WarfareBAntiAirRadar", [_x,_y,1], [], 0, "NONE"];

_Radar addEventHandler ["HandleDamage",{(_this select 4) == "PipeBomb"}];

_Radar setVehicleVarName "maintarget";

hint format["Unit's name: %1",_Radar];

returns the name "maintarget"

[shuko 59]

Syntax is: trigger setTriggerStatements [condition, activation, deactivation]

If Im allowed to guess, condition would be the "!alive maintarget" rather than "this".

[RonnieJ 10]

Hmm might be me who's a bit confused then... I thought activation was what it took for the tigger to go off...

Ill try it when I get home...

[shuko 59]

condition = what activates the trigger

activation = what is done once it fires

deactivation = what is done once the condition is false again

Still cant get it to end the missions... I have tried with:

_trg = createTrigger["end1",getPos player];

_trg setTriggerArea[0,0,0,false];

_trg setTriggerStatements["this","", "!alive maintarget"];

_trg setTriggerType "END1";

and

_trg = createTrigger["end1",getPos player];

_trg setTriggerArea[0,0,0,false];

_trg setTriggerStatements["this","", "!alive _Radar"];

_trg setTriggerType "END1";

and

_trg = createTrigger["end1",getPos player];

_trg setTriggerArea[0,0,0,false];

_trg setTriggerStatements["!alive _Radar","", ""];

_trg setTriggerType "END1";

and

_trg = createTrigger["end1",getPos player];

_trg setTriggerArea[0,0,0,false];

_trg setTriggerStatements["!alive maintarget","", ""];

_trg setTriggerType "END1";

Hi RonnieJ,

try this:

Radar = createVehicle ["RU_WarfareBAntiAirRadar", getPos player, [], 0, "NONE"];
Radar addEventHandler ["HandleDamage",{(_this select 4) == "PipeBomb"}];
Radar setVehicleVarName "maintarget";
hint format["Unit's name: %1",Radar];


_trg = createTrigger["EmptyDetector",getPos player];
_trg setTriggerArea[0,0,0,false];
_trg setTriggerStatements["!alive Radar","", ""];
_trg setTriggerType "END1";

If you use the local variable _Radar the trigger don't see it and so it don't activate itself. So, change the local variable _Radar to global variable Radar let do it work.

Another change it's the type of the trigger in the command "createTrigger": use "EmptyDetector" instead "end1" because end1 is not correct.

Hope this can help you

P.S. It work for me, I've tested this little piece of code myself ;)
