Title: Trigger (thislist)
Post by: 24Gamer on 14 Jun 2004, 20:12:48

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?

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.

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

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.)

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

Put this in the onactivation of your trigger :

Code: [Select]

"deletevehicle _x" foreach thislist

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

Title: Re:Trigger (thislist)
Post by: Artak on 15 Jun 2004, 22:32:05

_body = _this select 0

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

 :)

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
