Title: Individual non grouped man trigger?
Post by: D007 on 14 Aug 2008, 02:13:21

I hope that topic makes sense..lol..
I'm trying to set a trigger to go off when any player is in the trigger.
The players are not grouped though.
So I can't group them to the trigger and say "any group member".

Is there a way to say if any one of the players,
from man1 to man20, enter the trigger area, it goes off?
without grouping them?

thanks a bunch. :)

I wonder if it is possible to synch that trigger to each man individually?

well, thats something to try I guess  :scratch:

Oh, also, is there a way to have a trigger go off repeatedly as long as someone is inside it?
I need it to loop it's self and not need a man to leave and re enter the trigger are.

So it goes off when u reach it, then continues to reactivate every 30 seconds, until you leave it?
I keep trying stuff, checking the comref and biki, but I can't find anything on it ><..
thanks again.. :)

Set the trigger for presence of the corresponding side, in condition put:

Code: [Select]

this && (({isPlayer _x} count thisList) > 0)

Excellent. ty Mando.
We'll try it out now. :)

Edit: I should of also mentioned.
The trigger covers an area that has my side already occupying it.
There are blufor Ai's in it at all times..
I need it to only go off if any one of the players enter.
but not if it's only blufor AI in the area..
So maybe then I can just remove the "this" condition and go with the individual player line you put up there..
We'll try that..

Mando's solution allows for your requirement, since it asks for both someone to be in the trigger (this) and that one or more of those people are players.

Logically,

Code: [Select]

this && (({isPlayer _x} count thisList) > 0)

is exactly equivalent to

Code: [Select]

({isPlayer _x} count thisList) > 0

Since, for anything to be in thisList, this must already be true.
