Title: setting condition=true in an external script?
Post by: Hauk on 06 Jun 2005, 23:54:18

hey everyone, haven't been making missions for over a year now, a long break from the game and its good to be back, anyway...

i have a wp whose condition is set to 'blackopplane', and i want to set  blackopplane equal to true in an external script. The problem i'm having is that whenever i try

Code: [Select]

blackopplane == true
or

Code: [Select]

blackopplane = "TRUE"
i keep getting an error message. do i have to define blackopplane in the script, or something else? i searched but couldn't find the answer, sorry  :-\

Thanks for the help  ;D

Conditions automaticaly look for a boolean, so you just need:

Code: [Select]

blackopplane

To pull the pieces together:

In your script you need:

Code: [Select]

blackopplane = trueand in the condition of the waypoint you need

Code: [Select]

blackopplaneIf that is what you have and you are still getting the error message then look to see if blackopplane is defined anywhere else.  If that is not the case then I would put money on the problem being elsewhere.

ah yes that was it. I had called the plane itself 'blackopplane' which caused the problems.

Thanks for the help  ;D  ;D
