85% (AI) Soldiers Dead?

[NightJay0044]

Alright, for my first wav of attack for the battle. For example:

-I have 2 sqauds simply by select (F2), and inserting squads.
-I'm going to have 2 BMP's.

Now what I need is how to simply make it so, that when the second wav of attack comes in, because the first wav is the 2 squads and the 2 bmbs. But when the second wav comes in, I only want the 2nd wav to come in when the 1st wav's units in both squads are like 85% dead, also the 2 bmps are wiped out, that's when the second wav will attack..

Can someone try and show me the simplest way of doing this?

Thanks..

switch trigger, condition

Code: [Select]

({alive _x} count units group grp1) + ({alive _x} count units group grp2) <=4)
synchronised with the second wave's waypoint before they move in.

Correct me if I am wrong here bedges,

but that condition does not check that the two BMPs are dead right?

I think he wants your script and a lil more, something like:

Code: [Select]

(({alive _x} count units group grp1) + ({alive _x} count units group grp2) <=4)
AND ((BMP1 getDammage) == 1) AND ((BMP2 getDammage) == 1)

Uh, something along those lines....?

Yes.  

But, don't use getDammage ==1:    if the damage  0.99999 the trigger won't fire.   Better to use getDammage > 0.99 or not canFire and not canMove.

Oh, and don't use F2 groups to insert a group for a proper mission.  That's just a shortcut for making test missionettes and messing around in the mission editor.       Missions are much better if you make your own group, with higher skill, a better rank structure and a weapon loadout appropriate to the circumstances.   For example if you wanted them to do a lot of shooting from far away you'd include machine gunners and binoculars.

Alright, so what do I put in a trigger then? What exact details do I imply? That will make the second wav attack when the first wav is 85% dead with both squads and both bmps dead?

as stated in replies above...

a switch trigger, condition field

Code: [Select]

(({alive _x} count units group grp1) + ({alive _x} count units group grp2) <=4)
AND ((getDammage bmp1) >= 9.5) AND ((getDammage bmp2) >=9.5)

synchronised to the second wave's attack waypoint...

@Bedges~
Hey, your code gives me an error in the game right when I start.

Code: [Select]

(({alive _x} count units group grp1) + ({alive _x} count units group grp2) <=4)
AND ((getDammage bmp1) >= 9.5) AND ((getDammage bmp2) >=9.5
I made it a switch trigger and put all that code into the condition field. and I also did name my groups "grp1, "bmp1" etc. Any help? thanks.

Hmmmmmm......you have a ')' missing from the end of that.

Code: [Select]

({alive _x} count units group grp1) + ({alive _x} count units group grp2) <=4)  AND ((getDammage bmp1) >= 9.5) AND ((getDammage bmp2) >=9.5)
Alright, tried putting a ")" at the end of the code. Still didnt work..??

[bedges]

my mistake  

condition field

Code: [Select]

(({alive _x} count units grp1) <=2) and (({alive _x} count units grp2) <=2) and (not (canmove bmp1)) and (not (canmove bmp2))
grp1 is already a group, no need to ask for "units group group"...

tested and works.

NightJay0044, try to keep to one problem per thread. the question you tacked onto the end here relates to another thread you've made about the 5 loons. i think it's more appropriate to continue there.

thread continues here.

if this problem with the 85% thing is fixed, hit the 'solve' button for this thread.
