Alarm off

[Dandy]

Hi!

I got a problem with a trigger. I got a trigger that will be activated and a alarm will be turnd on. I want it to be turnd off after 1 minit, But I dont know how to do this.  

Help and suggestions are appreciated.

Use the forum search function .... I've answered this a couple of times ... the secret is to use a variable to control the trigger that has the alarm sounding.

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.

Thanks for the hint.

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"

Any chance of getting a look at your source code for that, or the different set-up of the three triggers?

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?
