when 4 shilkas dead you can call airsupport

[Commando]

When you have taken out the 4 shilkas you can call in airsupport with radio alpha? How do you do that..

[seanver]

I assume you already know how to call an air support. If you don't, afraid someone else will have to answer you -haven't touched OFP for a long time and now I'm a little lost, so I only can remember some very basic things-. Ok, you must name them. For example, shilka1, shilka2, etc.

Now, create a trigger. Put in its condition:

!(alive shilka1) AND !(alive shilka2) AND !(alive shilka3) AND !(alive shilka4)

on activation:

1 setradiomsg "Call air support"

Now go to your mission's folder, create a file called init.sqs, and put in it:

1 setradiomsg "NULL"

 You must have created before trying it a trigger that is activated by Radio Alpha with a condition that must be that which will make your air support work.

thx dude I'll try that and thanks for the fast reply

[Commando]

well I made a trigger that says activated by radio alpha and then i put
!(alive shilka1) AND !(alive shilka2) AND !(alive shilka3) AND !(alive shilka4)
in the condition field and then i put
1 setradiomsg "Call air support" in the activation field.

I can't choose radio alpha when I have destroyed the shilkas. what is wrong? I haven't made the airsupport group yet..is it that or something else?

[seanver]

Did you create a triger whose activation is "Radio Alpha"?

[Commando]

I wrote everything in the same trigger.
Or was radio alpha trigger be a another trigger and the
!(alive shilka1) AND !(alive shilka2) AND !(alive shilka3) AND !(alive shilka4)
be in a another trigger?

[seanver]

Hmm, I've always done it with two triggers, one for the radio thing and other for the condition.

[Commando]

okay i put everything in the same trigger, lol on me
the trigger where radio alpha is in is there going to be any code in it?
Or is all the codes going to be in the other trigger?

[seanver]

In the alpha one you will have to put in its on Activation field the condition which will trigger the air support. For exmaple, if you create a waypoint for an aircraft where it is supposed to wait by putting a condition in its condition field -for example put Condition: come-, you'll have to put in the trigger's on activation field come=true, so when the radio is used, it sets the condition as true. To avoid being able to select the radio from the beginning, make the init.sqs thing I suggested in my first answer.

[Commando]

thx I'll try that but now i have to go to sleep.
I'll post soemthing tomorw.
