how do you count number of units per side

[stuartf]

i want a trigger to activate when the number of units of an entire side... in this case 'civilian' drops to a certain number.

what is the trigger condition, plz?  

[Artak]

Try
CIV countside thislist < 10
in a triggers condition field. That should make the trigger tick off when under 10 units in it's area.

There is a way of activating a script that is on a continous loop - - This script will check the number of units per side conitously for however long is needed ....

If u want a certain effect when the number reches whatever u want it 2 - u can call another script from the script that is counting the units per side....

There is only one problem - i do nt know what the script is and i wish i did - hunt/ask around - i  think i saw one in the editors depot not long back..

Hope i was some help

nice one.

thx to u both.

i tried ur condition artak, and although it didn't work on its own, (when there was no reason why it shouldn't have), i tried it with an 'anybody present &&' precursor and it worked perfectly.

odd. but fixed.

thx for the replies gents, much appreciated.

stuart.
