Post by: Dandy on 18 May 2003, 21:06:42: The word "variable" is Something that I cant say that is my speciality. But i found something similar at the FAQ search. So maby I can get it to work with som smal changes.

I think will report back here after I tryed it.

Post by: Dandy on 19 May 2003, 00:11:39: The test mission I downloaded was a wery advanced script he hadd. The alarm turns on and off and on every 5 seconds if you are spotted.

And that is noth the way I want it, so I studie the work he hadd done, and manage to make it work with 3 triggers.

trigger 1 activation alarm=true
if spotted

trigger 2 activation alarm=false
if enemy dead in your area

trigger 3 condition alarm
sound: alarm
repetedly

And it works fine. No extra problems with playing, no "lags"

Post by: Dandy on 19 May 2003, 15:35:38: The name of the mission I downloaded si "DetectMostKnownEnemy.Abel" I found it whene I was searching the FAQ for alarm off. sample mission+scripts by Softegg.

Does that source help you?

And wath did you mean with:
"or the different set-up of the three triggers?"

Do you want me to write a text how I did the ting with the triggers?
