Title: Using ID numbers
Post by: Ironman on 18 Mar 2008, 04:19:20

I am trying to detect if a bridge has been blown in northern Sahrani. It's ID number is 444824.

The bridge cannot be grouped with a trigger so I was trying to use something like:

!alive 444824;  <-- in the trigger condition field

aparantly something that might seem obvious was not so obvious.... someone should know the answer..

!alive (object 444824)

that should work

The command, object, doesn't work in ArmA! The best thing to do is to place a GameLogic close to the bridge (give it the var-name "bridgeLogic") and use a trigger with condition:

Code: [Select]

not (alive ((getPos bridgeLogic) nearestObject 444824))

(you could use an invisible marker instead of the GameLogic if you'd prefer and use getMarkerPos to get the position).
