Trigger question(noob with big ideas)

[alex eastveld]

hi im new here. i just started to try my luck at the ofp mission editor and i was wonderingif its posible to make a triger that is only seen by one side, im my case the resitance.

Hi.  and welcome  :wave:

Place a tigger on the map then open it. In the activation field you can choose resistance (or east, west....)
Then, the trigger will only be activated by the resistance

sorry what i ment was... well heres the situation. im making a mission where both the east and the west canenlist the help of a third party, mercs, what i want is a trigger that will tell the mercs and only the mercs that eather the east or the west has arrived a the meeting point and or drop point. but so far when the trigger is set off everyone sees it.

Assuming that you are talking about multiplayer here,

if so then wrong forum.

But however:

Since you didn't tell too much what and how you did, i suppose you have a trigger with a radius,
activated by: anybody/present.

Condition field: THIS

Now all you need to do is to add a second condition to it.

side player == resistance

This would make your condition field look like: THIS AND side player == resistance

ah and btw - welcome to the Forums  :wave:

hi i started this topic in the general section but i was told that it is suposted to be in this section. anyway. what im trying to do is have a trigger in a mp mission that when triggered only one side will see the text. the last post in the old topic said that i should use this and side player == resistance , and it seamed to work but i can try it in multyplayer right now so i was wondering if it would work in multyplayer games.

This quote is from your second thread - the one with the same name like this one 

Ya know what  I don't know if this works 

I only posted in your thread because i got so bored from not knowing what i should do and then
i saw this guy, asking for something whereabout i totally don't know anything.

But for sure someone will be so nice and proove the answers you get, so that you don't need bother
with maybe some wrong answers. 

Sorry to everybody else if i may sound a bit harsh now to a new forum member, but i felt a little bit inacceptable.

What is the point in having that line in the condition, when you can change the Activation By selection to resistance... works the same right? 

[bedges]

what i want is a trigger that will tell the mercs and only the mercs that eather the east or the west has arrived...

 

basically who sets off the trigger is immaterial here, so set it to anybody. the condition should read

Code: [Select]

this and ((side (thislist select 0) == "east") or (side (thislist select 0) == "west"))
and the activation line could read something like

Code: [Select]

leader merc_group sidechat format ["We have been contacted by %1", side (thislist select 0)]
