Count Units command

[NightJay0044]

HI all, I generated a small script using the count units command. here is the code I generated in a trigger:

Conditon: (count units group1) < 4
Onactivation: E1 Setdammage 1

basically what I did is inserted a group:

group1 = group this

inserted another soldier, naamed it E1, but it's a west soldier. (purposes of not being shot at)

the group has 5 soldiers..basicall what i did, was once there was less then 4 soldiers in group1, E1 would die.lo but hey I tested it and it worked only when I shot all the soldiers in the group.

If I used a grenade the game didnt' recognize the command when I blew up 4 soldiers up at once, why is this? Is it because the game cannot respond that fast with that command?

But it works fine if I shoot the soldiers but not if I blow them up with a grenade...

I think it's to do with dead units still being considered part of a group, until a team-mate says "Oh no, number is down." At which point they are removed from the group, and the count drops correspondingly.

Try using an alternative format for the Count command:

Code: [Select]

({alive _x} count units group1) < 4


Edit: corrected syntax (it is necessary to use units group1 to create an array) and tested.
