Title: Allunits "Combat"
Post by: The-Architect on 02 Sep 2005, 21:33:04

Is there a way that I can make all units within a trigger area go to combat?

Something like this,
All units setcombatmode "combat"

or maybe,

"_x setcombatmode Combat" forEach units in trigger X's area

almost there. trigger, activated by side present, large enough to cover anyone you need to set to combat, dependant on whatever your condition is, on activation -

Code: [Select]

{_x setcombatmode "yellow"} foreach units _this
i believe that's the correct syntax. ;)

im probably wrong (or even equally correct) but maybe

Code: [Select]

foreach units in thislist
or something???

Code: [Select]

{_x setcombatmode "yellow"} foreach units thislist
EDIT:
Bored_onion - I thought you beat me by 8 seconds.  If you had not used in then you would have ;)

EDIT2:

Should it not be:

Code: [Select]

{_x setBehaviour "COMBAT"} foreach units thislist
?

I thought CombatMode "Yellow" was 'open fire'

I'm getting an error message.

Type array, expected, object, group

If it helps, the units I want to go combat are all enemy AI

Damn I was in too much of a hurry.  Get rid of the word units as in:

Code: [Select]

{_x setBehaviour "COMBAT"} foreach thislist
 :-[

Ok, the error message disappeared but every one of the bad guys just stayed in "Safe" mode.

Try:

{_x setDammage 1} foreach thislist  

just to check you are picking up the right loons.

Do the loons have leaders outside the trigger area?

{(leader group _x) setBehaviour "COMBAT"} foreach thislist  

might then need to be the answer.

I have to go now.  I hope the above helps
