entire side called

[penguinman]

i want a script that kills off all east in example
how would i do that like so

1 init thing that goes in the folder w/ the mission

Code: [Select]

eastys = side east
"[_x] exec kiled.sqs" foreach{eastys}then the script that also goes w/ the mission

Code: [Select]

killed.sqs
_deadman = this select 0
deadman setdammage 1
exit
can sombody explain how i would do this

im not sure what to put here

eastys = side east

does side east work for getting an array of all east units

thanks

[Triggerhappy]

no, what you need is a trigger, and only a trigger
heres what you do:
Trigger:east present
size:whole map
condition: this and whatever you want to trigger it
on activation:"_x setdammage 1" foreach units thislist

[penguinman]

 :)but i need to do it like that

its actualy a different script but i need to do it in that way, i would do a trigger if i could but u cant do it with this type of script ;D

[Triggerhappy]

i don't see why you can't, what is stopping you?

[h-]

Wth??
This is one of the basic things...

You make trigger, size thewhole map.
Activated by East Present
Condition: this
On Activation: eastys=thisList

now the global variable 'eastys' includes all East 'siders'... (vehicles are concidered as one altough there's more peeps inside it)

Then you can apply the 'killed.sqs' on all of them as you described... (altough vehicle crew and cargo won't get it...)

And I don't see why you couldn't use a trigger because if this is mission trigger usage is possible and highly probable

Hey guys,

Can you please explain to me how thislist works?
How can you say who is in thislist?  

Thanks  ;D

@Penguinman:
does side east work for getting an array of all east units?

Code: [Select]

eastys = side east
No,the side command only checks,not calls.
side player returns east if you are an east player,it doesnt make U an east unit.

@Silencer:
Thislist is an array of everything that forfills  a trigger condition.

[Silencer]

How can you tell who is in the array?

[Triggerhappy]

by how you make the trigger activated
'east present'
'west present'
'anybody present'
etv

[Platoon Patton]

The outcome depends ofcourse on your triggerconditions.

U can see the array with:hint format ["%1",thislist] in the on activation field.

[penguinman]

yes the player is on the east side!

so i can use side player

but how would it go in this

eastys = side east
"[_x] exec kiled.sqs" foreach{eastys}

like this

eastys = side player
"[_x] exec kiled.sqs" foreach{eastys}

[Platoon Patton]

Code: [Select]

eastys = side playerNo that aint working,the result is simply :eastys = east (assuming player is Russian)
East only tells u a side,it doesnt give u all east units..

All u need is an array,like hater_kint explained,returned from a:
Trigger East present,condition this,and in the on activation:
"[_x] exec kiled.sqs" foreach{thislist}"

[penguinman]

ok ok but i cant use a trigger at all,
how do i do it w/ out a trigger

its to hard to explaing but the script is called right when the mission starts automaticly so a trigger wont work

thanks

[Triggerhappy]

ah, but it will
whenever you need the list, set a variable to true, that variable being the condition for the trigger. have the trigger set to repeatedly, and make the variable false immediately after

[penguinman]

hmm

il try it

but the script needs all the units it will be run on to be entered in the trigger like so


[m1,m2,m3,m4,m5,m6,m7]exec "kill.sqs"

so will this list still work

[Triggerhappy]

then you could have used a trigger easy
just make it cover the map, east present, and on activation type
thislist exec "killed.sqs"
i'm pretty sure that will work because thislist is an array so i don't know for certain that it will accept that. but even if it doesn't, a quick edit of the script will fix it up anyway

[Platoon Patton]

There must be another condition in your mission,reason for killing all East-units.

Would be little weird to kill all eastunits from the start heh  

Give that condition a Boolean (say Mycond  = false)in the init.

Let this Boolean be true if you want to eliminate all eastunits.

Loop your "kiled.sqs",and use the:

Code: [Select]

@Mycond line.

The script will exec when Mycond = true

Dont forget to switch Mycond to false at the end before U loop back to start.

[penguinman]

lol kill.sqs was just an example
