Displaying the amount of targets

[wcrvieira]

Hello there!

Rellikki is doing a mission and has a question that is bugging him for a while, but as he can't login I am here to ask you lads if you can help.

Let's imagine that there are five places to clear of enemies. How do I display a hint telling how many there are left to clear everytime one place has been cleared?

Thank you lads!

Place a trigger per place with desired radious (enemy presence) and continuous check. Give each trigger a name. In the "deactivation" field of each trigger put:

Code: [Select]

hint format["%1 enemies left", (count list trigger1name) + (count list trigger2name) + (count list trigger3name) + ...]
Each time one trigger is deactivated (no presence of enemies) the deactivation action will be executed.

It works perfectly, however the triggers count the amount of enemies while he wanted it to count the amount of places (the triggers)...

Thank you anyway

Then just put num_free_places = num_free_places + 1 in the deactivation field of every trigger followed by a hint shound num_free_places.
Set num_free_places = 0 in the init.sqs

Works like a charm mate.

Thank you a lot
