Detecting Mine Defusal

[greg147]

Hi all,

Is there a way to detect whether a group of editor-placed mines have been defused? I seem to remember seeing it in OFP, but couldn't find anything on the forums (or comref)

Thanks

Code: [Select]

_mines = [mine1, mine2 ...];

_defused = {(isNull _x) || ((vectorUp _x select 2) < 1) ) } count _mines;
if (_defused > 0) then
{
   hint format["%1 mines defused", _defused];
};

Ah thanks. How would I call that? Tried acouple of ways but got 'type string, expected code' errors.

[Mandoble]

If you prefer SQS:

Code: [Select]

;Defusedmines.sqs
_mines = [mine1, mine2 ...]

_defused = {(isNull _x) || ((vectorUp _x select 2) < 1)} count _mines
? _defused > 0:   hint format["%1 mines defused", _defused]

Ah, OK, thanks (I havn't worked out SQF yet, I tend to stick with SQS)


I get this error when I try to use the sqs version

Code: [Select]

'..._x) || ((vectorUP _x select 2) < 1) ) } |#|count _mines'
Error count: Type String, expected code
I must be calling the script up wrong. Where would you put [] exec "defusedmines,sqs" for this particular script?

Thanks

[Mandoble]

Sorry, there was an extra ) there (fixed above).

Here is an example mission with the script in SQF format and using a position and radius instead of a list of mines.

Thanks, that works nicely.

Lee, your question has no relation at all with the current topic:defused mines, please open a new thread about the satchels.

I found this topic after a long search and tried out Mando's code in Arma2 OA to no avail.

Code: [Select]

vectorUP _x select 2returns any and

Code: [Select]

isNull mine1returns bool however putting this into a condition line of a trigger does not fire the trigger when the mine is active or deactivated.
