event handler

[sharkattack]

me again

is it possible to add an event handler to all units within a trigger area ?..

many thanx in advance ...   

[Mandoble]

Yes, just get the units with the "list" of the trigger and add the corresponding handlers.

Code: [Select]

{
   _x addEventHandler blah blah blah blah;
} forEach list trigger_name;

=====
im doing somthing wrong 

this is the EH ( detect  gunfire)  i m trying to add to all units within a trigger called badlands

this addEventHandler ["fired",{if (!(_this select 2 in ["M4A1SD","MP5SD","M9SD","AKS74UN","MakarovSD"]) && !myvar_akFired) then {myvar_akFired=true; _this exec "gunshots.sqs"}}

[Mandoble]

if you are doing that inside the forEach, then it should be _x addEventHandler ... instead of this addEventHandler

[sharkattack]

me again   

please forgive my noobishness   

i tried with the below code  but keep getting an error message   missing }

any one help me get the correct the syntax

{_x addEventHandler ["fired",{if (!(_this select 2 in ["M4A1SD","MP5SD","M9SD","AKS74UN","MakarovSD"]) && !myvar_akFired) then {myvar_akFired=true; _this exec "gunshots.sqs"}} forEach list badlands;

many thanx in advance 

[Mandoble]

yes, I see 3 { and 2 }, try with "gunshots.sqs"}}}

new error
foreach : type string expected code    
===========================

also
the EH  works on player unit  if called from his init

this addEventHandler ["fired",{if (!(_this select 2 in ["M4A1SD","MP5SD","M9SD","AKS74UN","MakarovSD"]) && !myvar_akFired) then {myvar_akFired=true; _this exec "gunshots.sqs"}}

however if i add pipebomb to the weapons which will not activate the trigger ["M4A1SD","MP5SD","M9SD","AKS74UN","MakarovSD";"PipeBomb"])  it fails to recognize them
so if a player places a charge  the EH is fired .. have tried with timeBomb no change  .. anyone  no of a solution ??   

[Mandoble]

";"PipeBomb" --> ","PipeBomb"
there is a ; there instead of a ,

[Mandoble]

[sharkattack]

sorry to be a  pain in the arse   

but im still unable to get it to work ...

i tried with this

{_x addEventHandler ["fired",{if (!((_this select 2) in ["M4A1SD","MP5SD","M9SD","AKS74UN","MakarovSD"]) && !myvar_akFired) then {myvar_akFired=true; _this exec "gunshots.sqs"}}} forEach list badlands

same error returned

foreach : type string expected code 

[Mandoble]

where are you executing that code? inside sqs or sqf? if sqf, there is a missing ; at the end.
Also you are missing the end ] of the addEventHandler command.

[sharkattack]

hi mate
im executing the command  from init sqs ..

i tried
 
{_x addEventHandler ["fired",{if (!((_this select 2) in ["M4A1SD","MP5SD","M9SD","AKS74UN","MakarovSD"]) && !myvar_akFired) then {myvar_akFired=true; _this exec "gunshots.sqs"}}}] forEach list badlands

error missing ;         

many thanx for your help ...

[Mandoble]

Code: [Select]

{_x addEventHandler ["fired",{if (!((_this select 2) in ["M4A1SD","MP5SD","M9SD","AKS74UN","MakarovSD"]) && !myvar_akFired) then {myvar_akFired=true; _this exec "gunshots.sqs";}}];} forEach list badlands;


[sharkattack]

excellent ....   thanx a million mandoble  ... works a treat   

now to get the EH to recognize satchel charges ...

any ideas on how to add satchels to the weapons array 

have tried  adding  "Put"  (weapon class name)
and both PipeBomb and TimeBomb (magazine classname)
to weapons array  but still everytime i  set a charge  the handler is fired

all the best for new 2008
