Counting troops

[Hartza]

I know how to check if specific unit is dead or alive using !(alive MyGuy) command.

But, how to check if any member of 4 groups ( 6 men on each group = 24 men) is still alive  

My mission should end if all my men are dead, but I can't use "west not present" because I have men on the map which dont participate to combat.

I could use that !(alive MyGuy) commad 24 times but it feels little bit too complex way to do it ...

Your right Hartza - Using the same condition 24 times is just bad editing  

Try this:

First name all the groups (using group1 = group this, group2 = group this etc)

[edit]Set up a trigger with a couple of seconds delay and condition true. Set On Activation as myunits = (units group1) + (units group2) + (units group3) + (units group4).  This creates an array of all the units in all the groups. [/edit]

Now set up a trigger with condition "alive _x" count myunits <= 1. Now when only only one unit is left alive (you) then the trigger will go off.

Cheers

Edited due so that the array is created properly - If this is done in an init field or file then the array is not properly defined  

ps. if the players unit isn't in the groups you are checking then use the condition "alive _x" count myunits == 0. I'm sure you spotted that anyway.

Thanks Bremmer, that seems to work ( again)
