Count East Units ArmA

[The-Architect]

A while ago Bedges wrote a great little script that checked how many enemy units were left on a map.
I tried it with ArmA and It doesn't seem to work right.

Could someone look at it please?

Linkage.

Code: [Select]

;calculate number of east on the map and report

;wait a moment, as the trigger array needs time to populate
~2

;assign the count to a variable and report back
_east_num = {alive _x} count all_east
hint format ["There are currently %1 East units left on the map", {alive _x} count all_east]

;keep the number up to date
#loop

?({alive _x} count all_east < _east_num) : hint format ["There are now %1 East units left on the map", {alive _x} count all_east]; _east_num = {alive _x} count all_east

~3

;if there are less than 30, end the script
?(_east_num < 30):goto "loop"


hint "There are now fewer than 30 East troops on the map"
exit

is all_east = thislist in trigger's activation?

[The-Architect]

Yeah, that did it.

A trigger covering all the map, triggered by East present, with your code in the on activation.
and a unit that starts the script with his init.

Cheers.

I often find myself searching for lengths on end trying to find that last enemy unit before i can end a mission.

Could i use a similar script to tell me when there is only X amount of enemy left alive in a certain trigger area,

   & then showing me where they are on map? & even if they have not been spotted in a friendlies line of sight?
