How to stop a script!?

[Luminous]

Afternoon Chaps

I am creating a mission which involves a suicide bomber how it works is blufor presence activates trigger activating a script set on the bomber boom he blows up!

But if he is dead already i want to stop the script from activating when blufor hit the trigger or remove the trigger whichever way round is possible!

Obviously why im here i dont know how to do it where to put it etc im a noob to scripting but i know !alive means Dead but dont know what to put after that or where if u could help that would be fantastic!

Thanks in advance

well, you've partly answered your own question. in the trigger's condition field, you'll see 'this'. change the field to read

Code: [Select]

this and not (alive suicide_bomber_name)
obviously the suicide bomber unit needs to have a name entered in the name field. untested, but it should work.

and don't worry about noobness - we were all new once

Alright ive just tried that code but unfortunately doesnt work unless he is dead!  I want it NOT to work when he is dead but work when he is alive! Cheers anyway

Well, heh. bedges did a little miss there: just remove the not and it'll work.

What you're doing here is not per say "stopping" the script: you're simply giving it more conditions to meet before it can work. For instance if the dead man suddenly came back to life after being killed, the trigger would miraculously work again.

"this" in this (no pun intended) case simply means "the default thing that triggers this trigger". Which is probably something like (as you've put it above) "blufor present".

Good luck!

this && alive unitName

-Put the above line in the Condition field of a trigger which is activated by...Blufor 'Present' for example

& the trigger will only activate if the passed unit is alive.

***However you could achieve the same result by grouping a Unit to a trigger (condition field > 'this') & setting the activation field of the said trigger to Vehicle||Group Leader||Any Group Member||etc, 'Present'. Since im figuring that the unit has to be alive to activate the trigger in this case, the trigger will activate because - by the Unit being present, the Unit is alive....however, if you want the trigger to activate when the Unit is dead simply change the activation field to 'Not Present", becasue when the Unit is dead within the trigger he is then 'Not Present'...obviously because he is Dead > Not Alive, therefore > Not Present.
