K, I understand what you are saying ... but when I try to do that it simply says "Expected Boolean or something". By unitname I am assuming you mean the name of the unit as per Flashpoint? I was wondering if you could elaborate a little more.

Thanks for your help

Wha do u exactly mean by this ?

i guess u know when u place a unit and a dialogue box pops up ?? there is a feild called "NAME" in it .. pop a name for the unit in there...

this is the name that "unitname" needs..

Hope this is helpful

Yeah, if you could make an example and E-mail it to me at shadwell_gyre@hotmail.com I would appreciate it. When I see it I am sure it will all make sense.


Thanks for your help.

Rhys,

Yeah I understand what he is saying ... what I'm not sure about is where the unit is supposed to come from. Do I add it and put its precense as false, or is it added via the INIT line? Thats what Im not understanding.

Thanks

Maybe its easier if I just explain what I want to do.

I have the CoC Torpedo add on which has a particularly good Nuke Effect in it.

I want to make that Torpedo (The Shkval Nuke) detonate at a given time on land.

Now I can accomplish this by using a Helo or plane but I dont want that. I want the Nuke to go off when triggered.

Problem : When the Nuke is on ANY land, it detonates automatically. I do not know how to "Disarm" it (Change its state), so I thought the next best thing would be to bring it in at a certain point in the mission. Unfortunately putting it on an island somewhere etc will not stop it from detonating (Using getpos and setpos as you suggested).

Maybe with the specifics you can see what I am trying to accomplish.

Thanks

You might be able to camCreate it in the air and use a loop to keep it in the air till it is needed.

One thing I can tell you, the Condition of Presence field does not come into the solution to this problem.    That is only useful if you want something to happen/not happen at the start of the mission.     In this case you definitely want the nuke to be in the mission (whether it goes off or not is a different matter) so the CoP field is not appropriate.    

The answer probably lies with one or more of the commands camCreate, createUnit or setPos.

Going to play around with it a bit and see what I can come up with!!

Thanks for help everyone
