Detect Satchel Charges

[shadow99]

Hello. Anyone know how I have a trigger that in the condition field has a way of checking if the player has placed down 2 satchel charges?

I suppose it has to be done through scripting.

I could tell you how to detect when all the satchels are gone  :-\. The command hasWeapon should come in handy.

Use:

!(player hasWeapon "Pipebomb") in in condition field

If you gave the player only two satchels then this would work. If you needed more you could get the player to pick them up in the field but I don't know how practical this would be.

Yeah, I think a wee bit of scripting would be the best way to do it. C0LDSt33L's suggestion would almost work, except the player could drop the weapon, not "place" it, and it would still go off.

An event handler would do the job perfectly, though. Pop this in the player's init field:

bombslaid = 0; this addeventhandler ["fired", {if((_this select 1) == "put" && (_this select 4) == "pipebomb") then {bombslaid = bombslaid + 1}}]

That will make the variable "bombslaid" go up by 1 each time the player places a satchel. Then just make a trigger with condition:

bombslaid >= 2

And you're in business!

Thanks General, it did the job.
