Detecting multiple AI geting killed

[Wolf]

Ok, here's my problem, I need to prevent the player from firing at some specific AI for a short time, so, instead of connecting every single AI  with a not present trigger, can I use the
Not (alive guyname)
in some sort of array, to detect when any one of the AI are dead its failed?
ex. Not (Alive [Guy1, guy2, guy3, etc . . . ]) so that when any one of them are dead, its mission failed.

Or any way possible to do this?
Thank you.

You need to use the count command.  This is easiest to do if you have each of those AI units in one group.

In the initialization field of the leader of the group, put the following code:

Code: [Select]

squadUnits = units (group this)
This creates an array, squadUnits, that contains a list of every unit in that group.

Then, put the following code in the condition field of a trigger:

Code: [Select]

"not alive _x" count squadUnits > 0
This checks to see if there is at least 1 dead unit in that group, and if so, the condition is met.

If you do not have all of the AI in one group, you can still use this code, but you must instead manually create an array with a list of the units.

E.g.:

Code: [Select]

squadUnits = [guy1,guy2,guy3]
This code can be placed in the initialization field of any one of those units, or in your init.sqs for the mission.  The trigger's condition would remain the same.

!(alive guy1) OR !(alive guy2) OR !(alive guy3), etc

Try that

You see, I have roughly 15 guys walking around or standing guard, none of them are grouped, so I'll see which one works best, thanks.
