open ended event handlers

[bored_onion]

can you have an event handler that works for any unit who creates the specified event
i.e

Code: [Select]


_anyunit addevethandler ["fired",{action}]


any thoughts?

no rush on this, just a general enquiry...

I don't understand the question.

An eventhandler is an attribute that you the mission designer adds to an object, in the same way as you might add a weapon.   If you want to detect that anybody in the mission has fired then you need to add an eventhandler to every relevant unit.

Here is a sample of your request using all members of a group. Just put this line in the group leader's init field. I believe that if you change the "group this" to "thislist" and have this line of code in the "on Activation" field of a trigger, it will apply the eventhandler to any unit that satifies the trigger condition (e.g. "West Present" will apply the EH to all west units in the trigger area).

Code: [Select]

{_x addeventhandler ["killed", {_this exec "yourscript.sqs"}]} forEach units group this

Hope that this helps!
