Detecting If a Building has Been Destroyed

[genterprise 0]

I have spent an hour looking through my search responses and have not found an answer.

There is a house (more like a hangar on a runway) object id 144163, I am going to do a bomb run un it and want to know how to make a trigger to give me a message (maybe using "hint") to let me know if the building is destoryed.

I am brand new to this ARMA2 editing and scritping and have spent hours reading in order to find answers to this and other questions.

Please help.

Also, I have noticed that a lot of you guys give "answers" but you dont give help. I am a technical instructor and what has made me so good at it is that I can answer technical questions with people that are not yet technical but explain in a way they don't feel intimidated but yet get it. Many of you on here are very talented at scripting but are not gifted with explaining to a beginner. So please keep in mind this is my first ARMA2 endeaver. I Know javascript, vbscript, visual basic, java and some others, but this ARMA 2 Scripting is not registering please help!!!

Thanks!!!

Place an invisible (Empty) marker (F6) next to the building and call it "buildingcheck1".

Place down a trigger (F3) and enter the following values into the appropriate fields.

Condition:

!alive ((getMarkerPos "buildingcheck1") nearestObject 144163)

On Activation:

hint "The building has been destroyed"

:)

Oh, you are better off asking mission-related questions in this section, this one is intended for addons ;)

Wow - that was a fast response. And it was very clear!

Thanks!!!!!

I chose ARMA for my PC Leagues War Game/Simulator because it is the best out there for PC (and as far as I am concerned evem beats the consoles).

I decided to start making a few Tournament Ready Multiplayer Maps. I had no idea how great the user support is for this game also. Thanks Much!

It worked like a charm....

SIncerely,

PS - is there a guide that gives the names of commands and how they can be used in scritping (say the scripting language alond with syntax?) If so please direct me. Thanks Again!!!!
