Changing a units side
« on: 07 Apr 2003, 01:27:37 »
how would i use a trigger to get a list of units inside the trigger and use the list to change the unit's side to west?

i have a group of Civilian's but East wont shoot at them like they should so i need the civilians to change side to west

i could group them with a West Soldier but then i have to delete all their waypoints to group them and then i have a West Soldier somewhere he shouldnt be!

and after the attack i need the list so i can delete the Civilians

The units which are in a trigg'er's area and would activate the trigger are given in the array thislist

If the trigger was West present then for a death zone you could have

"_x setdammage 1" forEach thislist

syntax not guaranteed but you get the idea.
