Title: !(Alive ID?)
Post by: Coyote on 12 Nov 2010, 00:59:58

Searched around, and couldnt find anything on it, but if my victory condition / objective was to destroy a civie (pre-existing) building, what would one enter in the condition field?

!alive civil_building

and you need to make sure that civil_building is set using nearestObject ID

how do you set it using nearestObject ID?

You set the variable in the init.sqf by using the nearestObject command.

Ahem,


Well, perhaps stuff could be explained a little better and more here, actually. Okay, so: to grab the "object" of a pre-existing building on the map, you can either use its ID number (as seen when 'Display IDs' is on), or use a command like nearestBuilding (http://www.ofpec.com/COMREF/index.php?action=details&id=228&game=All). Using nearestBuilding, you could do it like this:

1) Place down a game logic right on top of the building in question. In its init field, write something like:

Code: [Select]

ObjectiveBuilding = nearestBuilding this;
Then, place down a trigger with the appropriate command:

Code: [Select]

!alive ObjectiveBuilding
Now try to blow up the building and see if it managed to "pick up" the correct building with the command :) (add a hint or something to the trigger).

Should work!
