Affect whole side

[Pr0ph3t]

Hai everybady!  

I want a trigger that will setcombatmode "red" for every western unit. How do I do this?

[Peter_Bullet]

Make a trigger wich covers the whole mission area, and be sure to put activation "West". Then give a name for the trigger ex. xxx. You can set the condition to empty. When you want the side to be affected, write somewhere: {_x setCombatMode "Red"} forEach list xxx

Nice! thanks man

[supershooter]

setCombatMode

[Pr0ph3t]

OHHHH IN YOUR FACE!!! hihi

[Pr0ph3t]

wait I don't get it what's xxx?

[Peter_Bullet]

ex. xxx = for example xxx. It's just the name you give to the trigger. The name can be anything!

(some letters aren't allowed)

Ok.. Just wasn't sure if it was the group name or trigger name. Thanks buds. I'm gonna test this in a couple of hours.. I'll post if it worked.

Okay just a couple more problems and I think this thread is solved..

First of all, for anyone else using my lowly version, the only way the above command will work in the trigger activation field is by using "" not {}

ex: "_x setcombatmode red" foreach list xxx

now the problem is, you can't put red under quotations ("red") because you'll get a syntax error. So I need to find another command that can alter a unit's behaviour without quotations.

I tried doing "_x setdammage 1" foreach list xx and everyone western died. So it works. Now the only thing is to find a command without quotations.. Anyone got a clue or a work around?

Try double quotes:

""Red""

In other words;

"_x setcombatmode ""red""" foreach list xxx

Nope double quotes don't work either

[Planck]

I admit it was a long shot.

In some instances it works, in others it doesn't.

This must have been a  case of the latter.

Try all sorts of variants are you really really sure curly braces don't work.

I did.. I tried everything.. Isn't there any other commands I can use ?

[Planck]

Ok prophet,

I just tried this in a trigger......set to 500 X 500.
Activated by West.....Once
On Activation........."_x setcombatmode ""red""" foreach list min

min was the trigger name


I was within the trigger range with my West squad.

And........it worked just fine, my men were ordered 'All, Engage At Will'
