AI Mine

[minimilo]

Can i create a simple AI mine using a trigger to simulate a simple artillery strike, i have one at the mo, but it doesnt activate in the conditions that i want it to

Well make a small trigger and have activated by someone, then in the activation field put

mine1 = "Heat125" camcreate (getpos nameoftrigger)

and then name the trigger to.

OR

I've tried using "this", but with mixed results.
mine1 = "Heat125" camcreate (getpos this)

Sometimes it works and somtimes it doesn't. Maybe its cause "this" is being used somewhere else...

EDIT: I should have clarified. The first way to do it is longer cause  you have to match the code with different trigger names and stuff, I did it once for a small 15 mine minefield, a little annoying.

The second way is less finger labor, but I dunno if it works. :-\

how about try insted of this

(getpos mine1)

[Dubieman]

I don't think you can get the position of an object that hasn't been setpos'ed yet. Lemme see... :-\

Edit: Yeah, doesn't work. What do others do?

i beleive he meant having a mine object on the ground called mine1
