How do i do this.....

Hey guys

Is it possible to count the number of kills the player has after a mission? and list them in 'titletext' format?  

Regards,

In the OFPEC spirit of pointing towards the answers without actually spelling them out (to promote learning), here's the pseudo-method:

• a trigger, covering the whole island, thislist
• an init.sqs command adding a killed eventhandler to each loon on a given side
• a global variable, changed by the eventhandler
• the titletext, utilising the format command

That should be enough to activate your Sherlock Holmes mode

Hey guys

I cant seem to be able to total up the number of kills the player has at the end of a mission 

Code: [Select]

_victima = _this select 0
_teammate = _this select 1

?_teammate != player:exit

kills = kills + 1

hint format ["%1 kill(s)!", kills]

exit

This script is called from an eventhandler in the init field of every enemy soldier. When the player kills an enemy a hint comes up telling the player how many kills he has.

But I cant seem to have the number of kills display at the end of the mission.

Plz can some1 help me 

Thanx in advance

Unless you are desperate for a paddling from bedges, you shouldn't open three threads for the same question. This thread can be merged with your original question and your first solution.

Using the search term "kill counter" in the first place would have turned up Kendo's Casualty Reports.

To have the number displayed, edit the 'End' trigger for the mission. Give it a timeout of a couple of seconds, eg. 3,3,3 and enter something like the following in the Activation line

Code: [Select]

titletext [format ["%1 kills", west_casualties], "plain", 1]Replace west-casualties with whatever variable you are using for the counting.

As suggested by bedges, you could have found an example of this use of the format command in the COMREF.
