Triggers that follow units
« on: 21 Nov 2002, 00:49:34 »
How do I get a trigger to have a unit as its centre point and then when the unit moves the trigger moves with them so that there is always a trigger surrounding a unit and performing the neceassary actions until the unit dies?

create a script like this:
Code: [Select]
_unit = _this select 0
_trigger = _this select 1

#loop
~0.5
_trigger setpos getpos _unit
?!alive _unit:exit
goto "loop"

In the init field of the unit, put:

[this,triggername] exec "thisscript.sqs"

Cheers mate, looks good, now as a little extra, how do I get a unit to join my group if they enter that trigger? (The trigger will be no more than a 10 circle).

in the activation field of the trigger

"_x join player" foreach unit thislist

I think this is the correct syntax

Guys it's not workin. The first bit worked fine with the trigger followin you, but the "join me" syntax int workin. The "thislist" command comes up as the unknown operator. Wats goin on?

Remove 'unit'. The list allready contains units.


"_x join player" foreach thislist
