Group death trigger
« on: 18 Jul 2003, 03:31:48 »
What is the best way to trigger an event if the condition is for every vehicle/person in a group to be dead or destroyed?

I tried making a gigantic trigger, grouping it to the group leader, and setting it to "Whole group/not present", but the trigger activates if just the group leader is killed.

Does anyone know of a better method?

Put this in the condition line of your trigger:

count(units groupname) == 0

If you use this with a group of vehicles, then it only takes into account the status of the human crew members and not the condition of the vehicle.

i think (but aint sure) dat deaddog way got bugs in it  :-X - it takes som time 4 da deaths 2 register (til dey say oh no som1 is down) - so it wil work slower + im not sure da death of da last 1 wil count in da group (no1 2 call him dead ?) - but im not sure bout dis 1

btw if im wrong just tel me ;)

but u can also use

"alive _X" count (units groupname) == 0

;D

deaddog's way does work, but it can take up to 30 seconds for the trigger to fire after the last loon has been killed.

@LCD

You're right.  It does take a while to register.  The "alive _x"  way works instantly  :)
