Open/Close Gate

[Mr.Peanut]

First trigger set to side present and repeatedly Condition:

Code: [Select]

({_x isKindOf "LandVehicle"} count thisList) > 0
Use only one trigger and call your gate closing script from the On Deactivation field.

Very cool.  I need to learn the object tree to make use of that cool kindof command.

i take my hat off to you Mr.Peanut sir 

here's a working solution using your trigger codition that dosnt need a script 

make a bar gate named "gate1"

make 2 triggers:

1st trigger
condition:true
onact: gate1 animate ["Bargate", 1];

2nd trigger
rectangle
axis a:30
axis b:5
activation: anyone present repeatedly
condition: ({_x isKindOf "LandVehicle"} count thisList) > 0
on act.: gate1 animate ["Bargate", 0];
on dea.: gate1 animate ["Bargate", 1];

the 1st trigger closes the gate at the start of the mission so its shut to begin with.

the 2nd trigger should be placed as a rectangle with dimensions of about 30 x 5 on the road where the gate is so that any vehicle in the area will open the gate.

You can see I am a neophyte at objects too!
Can replace Condition with:

Code: [Select]

( "LandVehicle" countType thisList) > 0
isKindOf is a new ArmA command, but in this case the old OFP command is a little more succinct.
