Trigger follow 5t truck

[chrisb1220]

How can I make trigger stay with a vehicle?

[seanver]

Do you want a trigger to stay at the same position as a 5t truck?

Perhaps this'll work. Create a script

#loop

triggername setpos (getpos truckname)

goto "loop"

but u cant have a loop widout delay so it wil b

Code: [Select]

#loop
triggername setpos getpos truckname
~0.00000001
goto "loop"

LCD OUT

I'm sorry, i'm kinda new with scripts so what do I save the script as?

  Hmmm but the thing is .. why use a script at all.. you can make a trigger.. shove it anywhere on the island you want.. and simply use a distance command for it's condition

 of course I'm not sure of the exact situation you're using this for... but I'm sure I could think of a condition dependent on the 5t truck for any situation

almost anything  can be accomplished through triggers that you can do with a script... and too much scripting is overkill.. in MHO ;D     (*cough* LCD *cough* )    

oh.. BTW distance would look something like this if yer not familiar with it:

unitname distance truckname < X  
you can use this with any two named objects or units to detect when they are less than X meters away.. conversely you could use it to determine when they are greater than X meters away...  

setting this as the condition of a trigger will cause the activation line of that trigger to become active upon the distance being met

hope this clears it up for ya.. if not .. give details and I'm sure someone can figure it out :toocool: :dude:

scripts are not overkill - if i wil b usin trigers instead of scripts in my 7 objectives misions - u wil c wat overkill is    ;D (i would have told u 2 f00k off but its not alowed in da forums )  ;D (J/Kin)

I'm sorry, i'm kinda new with scripts so what do I save the script as

save it as a sqs file - write it in notepad and wen u wanna save it press all files and put a .sqs extension

wen u wanna exec it put

[] exec "scriptname.sqs"

lmao @ you guys! crazy b*stards.

Anywayz'aa - in this particular case I'd suggest a looped scroll for a repeated trigg.
as the script is faster & more reliable when it comes to "glue"  

 ...especially if we talk moving (motorized) vehicles!

If yer mission weights some serious pounds, triggers sometimes
tend to act slower then looped scrolls, thus: make a scroll allthough it sucks!

Here's how to create a script and save it the proper way:


------------

• ALT+TAB out to Windows
• Open up NOTEPAD, the text editor program
• Type in the codes
• select *ALL FILES* as saving type
• Then save as Loop.sqs
• And remember to save it in this folder:

OFP / USERS / YourUserName / Missions / NameOfMission <----THAT ONE

Then just let some d00d execute the script from his INIT field :


 [ ] exec "Loop.sqs"

...and *RABALLAH-MULLAH* - you have a running scroll   ;D

f00k off to.. (opps not alowed) (J/Kin again mods  )  ;D ;D

Hey Tomby! I didn't talk to you for a while! Anyway, i'll try your way and see if it works.





P.S *RABALLAH-MULLAH!* ;D

[chrisb1220]

Oh, and ah could I put [ ] exec "Loop.sqs" in a regular decoration object?

[Tomb]

Sure, m8   put it in an empty car if ya like!
