Title: If Unitname Is Dead
Post by: Hank Hill on 28 Aug 2002, 18:21:17

How do i make a trigger that will activate it a group of things is eliminated. I have some barrels that need to be blown up, and i need a trigger that will activate when they are blown. Second how do i make a trigger that can only be activated when objective is complete? After the barrels are exploded i want the men to be able to return to base and end mission, but they will start in that base so i cant have the mission ending straight away

For your barrels.  Pick a barrel is the middle as a good refernace barrel and give it a name.  Then make a trigger with the condition as this;

!(Alive BarrelName)

And the activation as this;

"1" ObjStatus "DONE"; obj1=true

This will tick off the first objective in your briefing, if you have one (change the number if this is not the first objective).  And it will also set a variable which you can use in the base at the end.

With a trigger over tha base, group the players group with the trigger (F2), this gives you new options, make it group present and set it do condition;

This && obj1=true

ok, this is off subject a little but its related. How can i make it so when both objectives are complete you can then use a radio command?

In the activation of your barrel dead and in the trigger put;

1 SetRadioMsg "Whatever you want here"

This will turn the message on the alpha channel to what you put in the last set of " ".  You can use "1" SetRadioMsg "Null" if you want to make it blank.  1 is for alpha, 2 is for bravo etc.
