Who set off the trigger?

[Pravit]

In a trigger activated by "East", "West", etc. is it possible for me to get the unit that set off the trigger for use in my scripts?

what you mean?? maybe tring whit "thislist"?
sorry i dont get the idea...

Probably with thislist select 0...

Can't test it, I've lost my OFP CWC CD  
I still have my Resistance CD, but... whaaaaaaaaa

Let's say I have an east group, esoldiers, and several west soldiers. One of the west soldiers walks into a trigger that is activated by "West present." When this trigger is activated, I would like to do something like this:

esoldiers reveal (guy who set off the trigger)

How would I do this?

[Artak]

Try
eastgroup1 reveal (thislist select 0)
in the 'on activation' field of the 'west present' trigger, where eastgroup1 is a named group of east soldiers.
(use eastgroup1 = group this) in leader's init field to name a group)

Thanks, Artak! Now I have another question - it seems "thislist select 0" would select the first element of some kind of list(I imagine the units that have set off the trigger). What if this trigger was set to go off repeatedly, and I wanted to reveal every single guy who came through? Would "select 0" still work or would I have to increment the number?

Code: [Select]

{watchers_group reveal _x} foreach units thislist
that should work.

thislist is just an array.    Read up on arrays to get the best out of it.

Great, thanks!
