playable unit trigger

[11_harley_11 0]

Hi there,

Would someone mind talking me through making a trigger that makes a unit playable only after a task is completed?

I have some reinforcements sitting in a chopper off world which I can call in after Task1 is completed (they join my squad via a trigger). But I don't want the option to switch to them until they're on the ground. Is this possible?

any help greatly appreciated.

setPlayable and addSwitchableUnit.

yeah thanks for that. I actually found those already but I'm not sure what to do with them. The wiki isn't very noob friendly.

I have unit1 , unti2 etc as playable. Do I make a trigger and put addSwitchableUnit unit1, unit2 etc in the act of trigger? And put task1 in the condition? If so what should the syntax look like in the act?

ok so I've got one of the units playable with this 'addSwitchableUnit unit1' in the triggers act and task1 in the condition. But what do I put in it to add unit2 unit3 etc? 'addSwitchableUnit unit1, unit2, unit3' gives me a missing ] error. Can someone help me with the line?

Can anyone help me with this line?

'addSwitchableUnit unit1, unit2, unit3'

this gives me a 'missing ]' error. I guess I'm missing 3 kinds of brackets, a question mark, maybe a dancing banana? :icon_wink:

Syntax: addSwitchableUnit unitName

Parameters:

unitName: Object

Type "object" means the command can only take one object at a time.

addSwitchableUnit unit1;
addSwitchableUnit unit2;
addSwitchableUnit unit3;

{addSwitchableUnit _x} forEach [unit1, unit2, unit3];

Both of these do the same thing.
