Trigger (thislist)

[24Gamer]

I have a trigger thatis the size of the map area, and when it is activated i have
Hint Format ["%1", thislist select 1]
as the On activation code, yet i get an error. im trying to make a script to clear the bodies once the trigger is activated yet it im having problems with the array :-/ (count = 0) anyone know why?

[Artak]

what's the activation side of the trigger? A trigger takes in it's 'list' only the units which are of the same side as the side that's set in the trigger options.

[24Gamer]

the map is capture the flag and the activation is (East Not present) this and EFlagTaken

[24Gamer]

or even better would be if you could guide me on how to make a script to clear all the bodies when it is run (with a trigger etc.)

[macguba]

I have a feeling there is a delete dead bodies script/tutorial in the Ed Depot.

[24Gamer]

yeah i found one but it deletes the unit after it dies, i want to make a script that deletes all the units when a trigger is activated

Put this in the onactivation of your trigger :

Code: [Select]

"deletevehicle _x" foreach thislist


[24Gamer]

wouldn't that delete everything? even things that aren't dead  

[Blanco]

yes, it depends what's in the condition of you trigger.

[dalton]

blitz, not everything goes into the description.ext...


o and for the deletebody thing, you could also make a script:

_body= this select 0

#loop
(not alive) body: deletevehicle body
~20


correct me if im wrong

[Artak]

_body = _this select 0

#loop
?!alive _body: deletevehicle _body; exit
~20
goto "loop"

 

[24Gamer]

what calls the script?

[Blanco]

[name-of-the-unit-that-has-to-disappear-when-it's-dead] exec "whateveryouwant.sqs"

[24Gamer]

yeah, still that aint what im trying to achieve but thanks for the help

[Blanco]

ok, try this, untested

execute it with [thislist] exec "deletebodies.sqs" in the on activation of your trigger ACTIVATED,ONCE by the side you want.

Code: [Select]

;deletebodies.sqs
; only men will be deleted!
_list = _this select 0

_i = 0

#loop
_body = _list select _i
?"man" countype [_body] > 0 && !alive _body : deletevehicle _body
_i = _i + 1
?_i < count _list : goto "loop"

exit
