problem with thislist syntax...

[bedges]

i have a trigger covering the map, east present, on activation

Code: [Select]

all_east = thislist
fine. then in the init.sqs file i have the lines

Code: [Select]

{_x setskill 1} foreach list all_east
{_x setface "enemy"} foreach list all_east
the second line is just to check the first is actually working. the second isn't - the loons' faces are all different. if i manually put the setface command into a loon's init field, fine, it works, so it's not the face.

what's wrong with the syntax above?

Remove the list command in your code.

Code: [Select]

{_x setskill 1} foreach all_east
Only when you name your trigger in the namefield you have to use the list command.
Also put a 1-5 sec delay in the beginning, the trigger needs a short time to store all units.

hmmm, well the syntax is now correct - cheers - but it still won't activate from the init.sqs file. i stuck it in the trigger itself and it works no problem, so i think i'll leave it there for the time being.

thanks again.

edit - heh, that's what it was - not enough time - i've put a pause into the init file, and presto, about 3 seconds in, everyone has the right face.

problem solved
