Title: Detecting a Player
Post by: Kilo11 on 11 Jul 2003, 23:55:53

Hello All,

I want a trigger to activate when the player (Name: AP) is detected by a *friendly unit.  So when me (the player, Name: AP) is detected by a West soldier, the mission will end.  Please help, thank you!

 ???

Is your trigger 50 * 50?

If so, the trigger only fires when U R in the tiny trigger & the westguy detects U:)

Make him bigger dude :)

axis a & axis b , U know on top of the trigger properties...

Nope, even still, it doesn't work.  I have the axis covering the entire island.  And the following in the Trigger:

-Activation: Vehicle

-Detected By West

-Type: End #1

-On Activation: hint "You were detected"

-And I am grouped to the trigger (Its my leader)

I don't konw.  I walk right by the west soldiers to test it, and it does not work.  Nothign activates.  Help.

Acctually, another problem now mates.  It just constantly activates the trigger no matter what.  I think that the west units autmatically konw where my player is.  And suguestions?

i think it wont work this way, if you group a trigger and a unit usually only the grouped unit can activate the trigger ...

i would use a trigger and put in the condition-field:

(grpW1 KnowsAbout player >= 1)

grpW1 can be a group or a unit, so you may have to use

(grpW1 KnowsAbout player >= 1) OR (grpW2 KnowsAbout player >= 1) OR ...

for more groups/units
