allowfleeing all?

[AnarCHy]

I am re-creating the last battle from Platoon (the movie), the one between the U.S. and the 145th(?) NVA Regiment.

I have created a lot of different groups for the NVA, and I am wondering if it is possible to put a trigger somewhere or summat that makes them all "allowfleeing 0", so i dont have to put the command in every single init line?

[macguba]

"_x allowFleeing 0" forEach [array of units you want it to apply to]

or

"_x allowFleeing 0" forEach units grp1

or

charlieGrp = units grp1 + units grp2
"_x allowFleeing 0" forEach charlieGrp

Syntax not guaranteed

Thanks but the thing is that none of the NVA units are grouped together, to keep it more realistic and have there actions vary, so which option you think will be best for this?

Make a huge trigger, and in on act field type something like:

"_x allowFleeing 0" forEach units thislist and side == east

I'm not sure it'll work.

It yelled at me  :'(

Not really but it gave me the infamous "invalid number in expression" warning again and pointed to the == in the last part of the trigger

try removing the ==

[macguba]

Try this.  

Area:  whole map
Activation box:   East present
On Activation:    "_x allowFleeing 0" forEach thislist

[dmakatra]

Wouldn't that cause every1 to allowfleeing 0? Cause everyone is in the trigger. Or am I misstaking?

thislist returns all the units that could activate the trigger, according to first the Activation box.    In this case it would return all the east units.     If you put anybody it would return all the units on the map.    It makes no difference if you put present or not present or whatever.   Here present is good because that will also make the trigger fire.

I always get confused by arrays, but I believe that you only need the "units" bit if you are dealing with a group.   A group is not treated as an array.   Thus

"_x allowFleeing 0" forEach thislist

and

"_x allowFleeing 0" forEach units grp1
