Title: KnowsAbout
Post by: Hartza on 04 Sep 2002, 15:33:25

HI!

In my mission there are 4 east patrols ( East1 ...East4 ) which are guarding the city area.

Players groups ( name= Strike ) mission is to rescue resistance leader kept in one of the houses in the city.

I like to make an trigger that alarms backup troops for these 4 east patrol, if they knows that players are there. With this trigger I could also set patrols bahavior to combat , etc.

I tried East1 KnowsAbout Strike command, but keep getting this same error: expected object etc...

How should I make this alarm thing  ???

why not just place a trigger with conditon West detected by East (select it at the top) - that will do the same for u

Code: [Select]

unit knowsAbout target
Operand types:
    unit: Object or Group
    target: Object
Type of returned value:
    Number
Description:
    Check if (and how much) knows unit about target. If unit is vehicle, vehicle commander is considered.

Example:
    soldierOne knowsAbout jeepOne

You can't use a group as the target, it has to be an object. So maybe use a forEach thing?

Cant you foreach as a condition.  You have to use Count.
