Title: Triggers arent deleting...
Post by: 456820 on 15 Sep 2007, 21:51:48

Well I have a very big mission set up covering essentially the entire island.
I have included several triggers to remove certain areas of the island which can be chosen by the admin by slecting the parameter.

Code: [Select]

titleParam1 = Enemy;
valuesParam1[] = {1,2,3,4};
defValueParam1 = 1;
textsParam1[] = {Enemy North + South ,Enemy South , Enemy North, No Enemy};
Thats my description.ext bit which sets up the parameter.
Now the triggers are...


Set to repeatedly and Anybody present

CONDITION:

Code: [Select]

this and param1 == 3 or param1 == 4ON ACTIVATION:

Code: [Select]

{deletevehicle _this} foreach thislist; deletevehicle trig_setup1_1
I have 3 other triggers to match with the other parameter options all the same apart from the condition is changed.

When I play the game, doesnt matter what parameter I set it to the enemy are always there. Is there something wrong anywhere? Cheers.

Also this doesnt work in SP either.

For the condition, you need to be sure to take operator precedence into account (and binds higher than or, so currently, if param1 == 4, then the trigger might fire before thisList is filled, though I'm not sure it would matter in this particular case):

Code: [Select]

this and param1 == 3 or param1 == 4 // This acts as "(this and param1 == 3) or param1 == 4
Should be

Code: [Select]

this and (param1 == 3 or param1 == 4) // Alternatively, use "this and (param1 in [3,4])"

In forEach blocks, each iteration sets _x, not _this, to the item. Thus it should be,

Code: [Select]

{deletevehicle _x} foreach thislist;

I'm sure it is the latter issue that is causing your problem, but the former is good practice anyway.

Thanks, shall give this a go asap.
Shall report back

Edit - Ah damn it. Whilst copying the syntax into the triggers I realised why it wasnt working. mixed _x with _this, im more rusty then i thought.

Anyway works perfectly now. Thank you.
