detect any killed units

[amadeus88]

Hi, i don't know if this is possible but i would like to have a script that detects if any unit is killed. I don't want it only checking for a unit killed in any one specific group.

Maybe it would best to exsplain why i want this.

My mission plan is to have the player as a east unit (or a res unit, with res set to 'hostile to all'), you then go about completing tasks for civs in the area (no its not fighting mission) But have west police patroling, and if the player fires on the police or any other unit (Civs) and kills someone, then the script will set him to non captive since it detected a kill. And thus the police will attack him .

I don't know if this is possible, and if it isn't could you tell me of a way i might (easly without a lot of tedious scripting), make this work?

Thanks so very much ,

Thanks so much for showing me how its done, i never thought of that, i havn't used them before.

So because this is my first time dealing with arrays i am a bit lost. I think i have figured how to get the array up and working but my problem is When i try to get it so when it detects a dead person it makes the player a non captive. but when i try incuding that in my script that checks for dead then it says "error if: type array, exspected bool", and i don't know what to do. So if you could possibly write a short but entire script to do this i would be very greatfull.

Thanks again ,
