Combined End Triggers

[Mr.BoDean]

What is the best way to make sure the mission ends if and when all of the Objectives have been achieved?

I'm assuming you would set up your last trigger however you want and add the parameters in the condition field.
I'd want to include some dead vehicles and 2 other triggers to be true.

Something like this? :
 
Condition:
!(alive Shilka1) AND !(alive Shilka2) AND Trig1= true AND Trig2=True

   :hmm: Thanks

[LCD]

not exactly - probs w/ syntax agains

Code: [Select]

!(alive Shilka1) AND !(alive Shilka2) AND Trig1 AND Trig2

now dat ^ wil work ;D

wen checkin if vari is true u put da name of da vari not vari = true ;D

LCD OUT

Yup, I'm a regular syntax slackard, LCD  :-X
So thanx for learnin' me my fetchins!  

Ok, so if just putting the name of the variable in a condition is checking if it's true , what would you put if you wanted one of those trigs to be false?   ... and !(Trig1)   ?

Also, I can't seem to get it to end right, even when all factors are satisfied.

i.e.,  Vehicle-present trig with type END1 and
 
Condition of :
this and !(alive Shilka1) and !(alive Shilka2)

and On Activation:
"2" ObjStatus "DONE"

The Objective gets checked, But no End comes along. I've also tried :
End1 , EndMission1 and ForceEnd but no luck.

I may be mistaken but I think to get an end trigger to work right, you also have to have your briefing.htm file setup correctly.  That's all in the debrief section.

And you are right about the !Trig part.

[LCD]

yeah ur right ;D - i think u need 2 make sure dat u dont have noder end1 triger ;D

or mebe try puting it in oder triger ?

[Mr.BoDean]

Ah Good Point, DeadDog. I do indeed have my briefing.html file in there, equipped with 4 different endings. Still lost.

BTW, can u re-look at my other thread u helped on before ...

K,thx    

[Mr.BoDean]

Ok, figured this one out .... Yes, I had 3 END#1 triggers
AND it seems ALL of my endings in my Briefing.html (created with Chris's OFP tool) were named END1  !!  LOL

I also put in End1 = true in the On Activation slot .  :afro:

[LCD]

problem solved ?

or i mised somin ? ;D

Well, I was gonna, except that I am now getting errors on some of the End Trigs I made that combined Dead vehicles with already-activated triggers , so may need some more advice after further testing.  :-\    :-X

[Mr.BoDean]

Hmm, well like I was saying , still having problems with combos here.  :-\

This works fine:

Code: [Select]

this and !(alive P2) and !(alive P3) and !(alive P4) and !(alive P5)
And if I add something like this, it works , too:

Code: [Select]

this and !(alive P2) and !(alive P3) and !(alive P4) and !(alive P5) and (!(alive Ural1) OR !(canmove Ural1))
BUT if I try to add a Trigger name on the end, I get an error message. I've tried adding:
and U1D (trigger name for Ural1 Dead))

and (U1D)

AND U1D

and ?(U1D)


All came up with errors.   :-X  So without putting in a specific vehicle or unit in there, I can't seem to attach a whole Trigger's satisfied conditions to the condition of my END Trigger.   :hmm:


(I'm using 1.46 , BTW)

dont sue not alive or not canmove - wen da ural isdead it cant move so it wl b

Code: [Select]

this and !(alive P2) and !(alive P3) and !(alive P4) and !(alive P5) and !(canmove Ural1)
shud wrk ;D

Ok, LCD , that makes sense, thanks. However , that's not really the problem. It's the adding of ANY trigger names to the condition list that it just doesn't like.   :-\


i.e. :
Condition : this and Trig1

or : this and !(alive P1) and !(alive P2) and AT
(AT = Name of trigger-Arudy taken)

I get errors on both. Am I missing something ...like in how I'm NAMING my triggers or something?   :-X

[Mr.BoDean]

Okay, OKAY! Hallepalooza! I've got it now. Found this in an obscure corner of an editing tute and adapted it to work for me. Maybe you guys already knew this , but I just assumed when a trigger had been activated, it was considered true or "done" . But no, you gotta tell the game!    :-X  

So for any of you wanting to "link" triggers for whatever purpose, do the following:

Name your trigger - TRIG1
Set your parameters (West/East activation , Condition and On Activation, etc.)
Then add this to the ON ACTIVATION field:
TRIG1done=true

Then, when you want to use it in the CONDITION field of your END trigger (or whatever), add:
TRIG1done

i.e.,:
CONDITION: this and !(alive P1) and !(alive P2) and TRIG1done

Works Great now!     :afro:
Well, mostly ..... I thought the triggers would differentiate between All Players Dead and All Players Dead after having achieved an Objective or two. But alas, it ignores the fact that the objectives were achieved and just goes to the FAILED MISSION ending when all players are dead.  :-\

i.e.,
END1
Condition: TRIG1done and TRIG2done and TRIG3done
Result: Mission Accomplished! (All objectives successful.)

END2
Condition: !(alive P1) and !(alive P2) and !(alive P3)
Result: Mission Failed (All Died, NO  Objectives met)

END3
Condition: !(alive P1) and !(alive P2) and !(alive P3) and TRIG1done and TRIG2done
     Desired Result: An alternate ending (Good Try!) since 2 Objectives were reached.
     Actual Result: The Game ignores the accomplished objectives , just sees all as being dead and proclaims Mission Failed ending instead.  

That means I can only have a WIN or LOSE Ending and not the alternate choice? Of course , there's always the objective list, I guess.    :hmm:


And yes, LCD I will come back and "Solve" this one just for you.  ;D          :wave:

[LCD]

yep well known thingy

Condition: !(alive P1) and !(alive P2) and !(alive P3)
Result: Mission Failed (All Died, NO  Objectives met)

put dere

and not TRIG1done and not TRIG2done

;D - but make sure u set both varies 2 false in da init.sqs (or in da initfield of som unit)

Uh, hmm, can you clarify that for me, LCD?

You're saying YES, there are only 2 all-or-nothing possibilities here ... Win Or Lose  ?? Or did I miss something?

And what do you mean with the "not Trig1done and not Trig2done" part and where are you saying to put that?
 

Also, should I be using the "Loose" ending instead of just the different End#'s ?
