Making triggers activate after an object is destroyed

[Tim Pink]

Hi

Just a simple Q

i know you can use "not alive bob" to activate a trigger or condition but bob is a unit or soldier.

Can u use the same code for an object? eg "not alive Ammocrate"?
because i want a trigger to be activated after i destroy a heap of ammo crates.

Thanks

Tim

not sure, try it!!!

if it doesn't work use the getdammage command

getdammage UNITNAME >=1

values of dammage being 0 (undamaged) to 1 (dead)

The pure logic is:

Damage thing == 1

Note that Damage is an analogue value 0-1, not a digital state 0 or 1, so I tend to use:

Damage thing > 0.9

or whatever seems a suitable figure.  The AI does tend to keep engaging nearly dead targets until they are really dead, but I don't trust it to.  In your case, a [very] badly placed charge may only damage not destroy your crates and not trip the trigger.
