how to check it x amount of soldiers from a group are dead?

[ONoSixIsDown]

in order to prevent the classic "Run around like a moron while looking for that last enemy" problem, i'm trying to put together a script that will complete an objective when a certain number of units from a certain group are dead.

can someone show me a good script to use?

Code: [Select]

#loop
? (count units group1 <= 2) : "1" ObjStatus "DONE"; exit
goto "loop"

something like that Been a while since I scripted anything, and my memory is kinda bad. But that should check if the numbers of units left in group1 is less or equal to 2, and then set objective 1 to done, and exit the script...if it works

what would i need to change in that script if i wanted to have it check how many units are left in multiple groups?

OhNoSixIsDown, you obviously meant to unsolve this so I'll save you the trouble.     Solving locks the thread so nobody can reply.

When using count to check the number of live loons in a group, always combine it with an alive command.    Count alone can result in a severe delay (several minutes) while the group leader doesn't know that "6 is down".

"alive _x" count units group1 <= 2

Syntax not guaranteed.

There are several ways of doing what you want.     You can just add the lines together:-

("alive _x" count units group1 <= 2) and ("alive _x" count units group2 <= 2) and ...

Or you could make a trigger:-

Area:  whole map
Activation box:  West present
Condition:   count thislist < 3
On Activation:  as you like

The trigger will fire when the number of West loons on the map drops below 3.   A vehicle counts as 1 even if it has several crew:  the count will rise if they disembark.
