Title: object destruction
Post by: sharkattack on 11 Jun 2009, 21:40:31

hi lads

how could i set up a trigger/ script  to detect if a certain building class  has been destroyed

only way i can do it at the min is to list all possible object ids ... ???

any tips on an easier way  would be much appreciated

best wishes  :good:

Code: (init line for a logic in the middle of the map area you are using) [Select]

{ _x addEventHandler ["KILLED", { _this execVM "somethingWentBoom.sqf" }] } forEach nearestObjects [this, ["CheeseFactory", "BigHouse"], 1000];
I made up the classnames (you didn't specify what you were searching for), but this would mean that it would add killed handlers to all objects that inherited from CheeseFactory or BigHouse within 1000m of the logic.

is it possible to say, make a seek and destroy waypoint, use this script and blow up.. 'said barracks' and waypoint complete? Also, use this same method to triggered victory for killing 'units'?

{_x setDamage 1} foreach (position target1 nearObjects ["Land_A_statue01", "Land_A_statue01", 500]);

from what I see in my rpt-file, nearObjects only accepts 1 or 2 arguments (while you give it 3). If you want to check for multiple types, use nearestObjects.

btw, you're using the same object type twice?

oops should of read

{_x setDamage 1} foreach (position target1 nearObjects ["Land_A_statue01", "Land_A_statue02", 500]);

thanks mikey

both codes work perfectly thanks a million lads .

however ... would it be possible to include a count to spooners code so that the somethingwentboom.sqf was only fired when say 5 of the "cheesefactorys" were destroyed ?

Code: [Select]

{ _x addEventHandler ["KILLED", { _this execVM "somethingWentBoom.sqf" }] } forEach nearestObjects [this, ["CheeseFactory", "BigHouse"], 1000];


many thanks and best wishes and  long live ofpec

Easiest to deal with this in the handler script:

Code: (somethingWentBoom.sqf) [Select]

if (isNil "boomCounter") then { boomCounter = 0 };

boomCounter = boomCounter + 1;

// <-- Do stuff every time.

if (boomCounter == 5) then
{
  // <-- Do stuff on 5th destroyed.
};
