Event handler question...

[Clue]

Hi all,

 I've been reading up on event handlers in the tutorials section... but there's still a few bits I don't understand.

 I'm trying to make a mission where an attack starts when a signal flare is fired (by the player). I understand that _this select 0 is 'who fired?' and _this select 4 is 'with what ammo?', but how do I make sure the trigger for the attack is activated only when the player fires a flare, and not when he fires any other weapon?

Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

In the particular case of firing a flare, a script is called automatically.      You don't necessarily need an EH.

However, if you are using the EH, its something like

? _this select 4 == "flare" : hint "attack!"

[Triggerhappy]

have the eventhandler exec a script

here is the script

Code: [Select]

?_this select 4="flare":goto "callAttack"

#end
exit

#callAttack
(here you use whatever you need to make it happen)

goto "end"
under #callAttack you could have: callAttack=true
and the have a trigger with the condition being: callAttack
and synchronize it to the waypoint
