Making a shilka fire at a certain range

[jethind]

How do i make shilka's fire at a certain range. Like for example, the shilka will not fire at you or any other units until your 500 meters near to it? Thanks a lot.

make a trigger 500 in diamtre and put the shilka in the middle - set the shilaks combat to never fire and make the trigger activated by west or the player...

then in the onactivation line type:

shilkaname setcombatmode "red"

and he will start to fire...

also to make this happen alkl the time then set the trigger to repeatedly and also add this to the on deactivation line:

shilkaname setcombatmode "green"

or i think its green for never fire - look it up in the comman reference.

:thumbsup:

Blue, and the unit won't fire. With green it will "hold fire". Don't know if they are the same.

How do i make it activated by player then?

You could setup a trigger (anywhere on the map)
range (not important) 0/0

condition: player distance shilkaname < 500

Or you use the method from the replies above and group the trigger
to with the player (press F2 and drag a line from player to trigger)

to make the trigger activated by the player, group it with the trigger (F2) so there is a light blue line from the player to the trigger - then it will only be activated by him.

Hey thanks. I'll try that suggestion.
