group1 in vehicle?

[Azraell]

hey!    i know how to check if a certain unit is in a vehicle....but how can i check to see if my whole group or whats remaining of my group is in a helo....  " in " always wants objects, not groups. some units of the group may be dead when evac gets there, so it cant be specific units that it checks, just any that have survived and got in the chopper, then when whoever is alive made it aboard, it proceeds.



thanks!

In the condition field of your waypoint or trigger, whichever you are using, put the following code:

"_x in vehicle" count units group1 == west countSide units group1

Replace vehicle with the name of your vehicle.  Also, I assumed that this is for the West side.  If not, change west to the appropriate side.

Or just use:

"_x in vehicle" count (units group1) == count (units group1)

count (units group) always returns the actual number of units
from given group, no need for West countside here.

Actually Chris, countside will return only living units, while count will return living units plus any dead units which the leader does not know are dead.

So when you hear the:

"Oh no... 2... is down"

That's the sound of count updating Before that happens, you still have the same amount of units in your group, even though 2 is actually dead.

Countside will update as soon as 2 dies... I tend to use countside whenever possible as count may delay (or even halt) scripts due to it's need to have the leader know about dead units....

Ranger, sorry for wrong altering of your suggestion then  

SUI,

thanks for that info - this brings light into a problem, i've
got in one of my missions.

I had a 9 men group, starting in chutes, while the leader's
chute doesn't open. The idea was, that objective 1 will become active, once the leader isn't anymore a member
of the group (search for dead leader, and get the mission
briefing).
 I've been using: leadername not ín group,
and it didn't work, when trying that on a dedicated server.
On a normal client-server, all worked fine, as long as the host
player right clicked onto the dead leader, but on the dedicated
server, even after all players been right clicking the dead leader, nothing happened.

So i had to change the whole thingy in: leader down, objective
1 appears.

Maybe the use of countside might help here aswell then.
I'm gonna try that tomorrow.

Ranger, sorry for wrong altering of your suggestion then  

Not a problem, CD.  I believed the same thing at one time, until Sui also corrected me.  

I've been using: leadername not ín group,
and it didn't work, when trying that on a dedicated server.
On a normal client-server, all worked fine, as long as the host
player right clicked onto the dead leader, but on the dedicated
server, even after all players been right clicking the dead leader, nothing happened.

Why not do a simple, not alive leadername?  Why even count units in the group?

Edit: Sorry, forgot to address the original, poster.  ;D  No problem at all, Azraell.  Good luck with your mission!  Feel free to mark this thread as answered.
