when a target has been hit to the ground, it's not 'alive'.

name the targets sequentially, i.e. targ1, targ2, targ3 to targ30.

create this script, count_targs.sqs -

Code: [Select]

_targ = 1
_targtot = 0

#loop

_whichtarg = call format ["targ%1",_targ]

?not (alive _whichtarg):_targtot = _targtot + 1
_targ = _targ + 1
?not (_targ>30):goto "loop"

hint format ["Your score is\n%1 out of 30",_targtot]

exit

run the script when you want a total. untested, but it should work.

hello again..

do I create a trigger over the targets and then type in on activation...
this exec "count_targs.sqs"

the only trigger required is the trigger which tells you the player is finished. how you tell when the player is finished is up to you. when s/he is out of ammo? when a period of time has run out?

either way, call the script using

Code: [Select]

[] exec "count_targs.sqs"
if you have named the targets sequentially as i described, it should work.
