Checking if a unit is in a group

[Ironman]

Ok, I tried searching for about 45min for a cure to this but haven't seen it. I want to make a trigger set the player group(s) [sf1, sf2] to non-captives if they capture an enemy officer. I thought something like this would work, but I get an error complaining about how "e1_3 in sf2" is expecting an Array.... not a group name.

In trigger:

Code: [Select]

Condition: this || e1_3 in sf1|| e1_3 in sf2
Activation: player setCaptive false;

what are el_3, sf1 and sf2?

Indeed so: el_3 is a UNIT whereas sf1/2 are GROUPS. To be able to compare units to units, you need to use (units sf1), as so:

 

Code: [Select]

this || e1_3 in (units sf1)|| e1_3 in (units sf2)
Should work, try it out! 

Wolfrug out.

if sf1 and sf2 are groups and el_1 is a unit it might be more efficient to just compare with the group:

Code: [Select]

group el_1 in [sf1, sf2]or

Code: [Select]

(group el_1 == sf1) || (group el_1 == sf2)

I am sorry I wasn't more precise... yes e1_3 is a unit where as sf1/2 are groups

Thanks for your immediate help guys.... I tell everyone I know to come here... unless I know the answer...
